In this second part of the novena, we continue praying in thanksgiving, trusting that God is already answering our intentions. Today's reflection is: bearing witness to others through our wounds. There are testimonies that are born only from the difficult things we have experienced. They don't come from being perfect or never failing, but from what God has helped us heal and overcome. Many times we think that we first have to "fix everything" before we can help someone else. But the truth is that God uses precisely those places where we have suffered, cried, or felt broken... to accompany others who are going through the same thing. When we surrender our wounds to God, He can do something good with them. Your healing can give hope to someone else. Your story can remind another person that they are not alone. Today we thank God not only for what He has healed in us, but also for how He is using our journey to encourage and uplift others. Our prayer today is: "Lord, use my wounds to bring hope to others, and may my healing always point to You." If you are writing in your journal, ask yourself: How has God used my struggles or my healing to help someone else? Blessed Mother, Queen of the Holy Rosary, today we thank you for the way God transforms our wounds into compassion and witness.
