Yearning For Serenity In Your Life? Pray The Holy Rosary
We are all yearning for a little serenity in our lives and none other than Jesus is the provider of this elusive state in life.
Start meditating on the life of Jesus, and you will find that serenity.
Basically all the Rosary prayer is, is a meditation on the life of Jesus, which are called Rosary Mysteries.
By praying the Rosary every day you will find peace amid this busy, worrisome world.
1- Thou shalt not worry, for worrying is the most unproductive of all human activities
2- Thou shalt not be afraid, for most things we fear never come to pass
3- Thou shalt not cross bridges before thou comes to them
4- Thou shalt not handle but one problem at a time, leaving the others to The Lord until their proper time
5- Thou shalt not take troubles to bed, for they make poor bedfellows
6- Thou shalt not try to carry the problems of the world on your shoulders, for only One hath a back that strong
7- Thou shalt be a good listener, for God often speaks through the mouths of others
8- Thou shalt not try to relive yesterday, for good or ill, it is gone forever. Live and rejoice in today
9- Thou shalt dismiss feelings of frustration, for they are rooted in self-pity and interfere with positive action
10- Thou shalt count thy blessings, never overlooking the smallest, for our biggest blessings are often composed of our smaller ones
THE DAILY ROSARY
The Rosary is the easiest form of prayer. At the same time the Rosary is a most excellent prayer because it is composed of the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Glory be to the Father, … Besides these beautiful and sublime prayers, which compose the Rosary, a short meditation – which constitutes the heart of the Rosary – is added before or during each decade. The Rosary unites in itself mental and oral prayer because we pray and meditate at the same time. The Rosary is the most beautiful flower that, in the course of the centuries, sprang forth from the devotion to the great Mother of Our Savior. This prayer is now a most popular among the Children of Mary. In the past it has proved a powerful weapon against heresies, as instrument of social reform, and a form of petition most acceptable to God.
The doctrinal content of the mysteries contemplated in the recital of the Rosary is very important. Jesus and Mary dominate the chain of events. They are central persons in each mystery. They were united in the Incarnation and Redemption, and now are together in eternal life.
By contemplating the mysteries of our faith, we are incited to imitate Jesus, Mary and the saints, and the Rosary becomes an important school of Christian perfection because it leads us to focus on the cross and salvation – the Son of God on the Cross and His Immaculate Mother.
The Rosary is essentially a prayer to the Holy Trinity through Our Blessed Lady. It is not Mariolatry because Jesus is not forgotten in its recital. Mary speaks to her Children when they say the Rosary. She speaks a language all can understand, for the Rosary is, outside the official Liturgy and other church services, the most widely used public prayer. It is not reserved to any class of people. Illiterate as well as learned men equally recite it. The Pope, Bishops, priests, religious and nuns say it.
Our Blessed Lady encouraged the recital of the Rosary on several occasions, especially during her apparitions at Lourdes and Fatima. The Rosary is a powerful means of warding off demons, leads us to salvation, a source of consolation, a powerful defense against temptations, a sign of eternal ordering, a spiritual mine of innumerable blessings and supernatural benefits and the best means of honoring the Mother of Perpetual Help. The Saints say that we place a beautiful crown on the forehead of our heavenly Queen when we recite the Rosary. It is, therefore, no wonder, that the Blessed Virgin Mary is so generous to those who honor her with the daily Rosary.
The Church granted five-year indulgence for the recitation of the Rosary; if said with others, ten years. The Church enriched the Rosary with so many indulgences to encourage the faithful to recite it and to make it their daily prayer in honor of the Mother of God.
