Hey there,
Have you ever been talking with a friend about a particular subject, for example the latest Tesla model … and then the next time you’re on your computer, you see an ad for Tesla?
You may write it off as a coincidence. But it’s not.
Your phone is listening to you to gather insight into your interests to present you with ads for relevant products.
What’s also not a coincidence is when you are trying to make a decision in your life, like whether to take a new job … and then you see a billboard for that company and you have an overwhelming sense that it’s the right thing to do.
That’s God listening to you and giving you what’s called a Signal Grace.
Signal Graces are signs from God that help guide us in the right direction. They may not always be about major life decisions. Sometimes they are small signposts along our life’s path. And we may not always recognize them … or we may ignore it as a coincidence.
There’s not a lot of information about Signal Graces … they aren’t covered in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
But the Blessed Virgin Mary promised Signal Graces to those who pray the Rosary regularly.
This week Genuflect focuses on Signal Graces: what they are, how to recognize them, and all of Mary’s promises for praying the Rosary.
Maybe this is your Signal Grace to pray the Rosary more regularly and be on the lookout for your Signal Graces.

Reflecting on Your Mary Signals
Friar Nick Rokitka calls Signal Graces “Mary Signals.” Of course, that’s due to the Blessed Mother’s promise for praying the Rosary. Mary Estrada invites us to pray and reflect on the Mary Signals we’ve received in our life.
