Day 24: Calm Amidst Chaos

I am doing the rosary this morning just after having my computer almost crash, and when I went through the recovery process, I found that I lost most of my saved documents. My mind is swirling.

I am wondering if the tax guy can send through the secure server the 36 page tax document I downloaded just a few days ago....while the flash drive was plugged in, I had not saved the tax document onto it!

So....as I am trying to concentrate on the Glorious Mysteries, I am redirecting my mind every Hail Mary or so.

By the 4th decade, though, I settle into a rhythmn and realize something new. Mary and the apostles were surrounded by chaos as they saw the Savior tortured and put to death, as they realized that He, indeed, was resurrected... and then they answered His call to spread The Word in a hostile environment.

Wow. My chaos is nothing.

If they can move through that chaos, I can move through mine.

Hail, holy queen,

Mother of Mercy...

Day 9: Keeping With the Schedule

Day 9: Glorious Mysteries.

Didn't I say them just yesterday? It feels as if I experienced these events the last time I said the rosary. The unfolding of Christ's Ascension and Mary's Assumption are fresh in my mind and heart.

I envision the cheers and fellowship of both Jesus' and Mary's returns to heaven, and I hope, when I think of this, that we are greeted with similar celebration when we "graduate" from this life.

I don't have much time today. I have a visitor here from out of town, and as she showers, I kneel down and listen to the serene Irish voice who leads the rosary.

I had intended to write about the Fruits of the Glorious Mysteries today; however, the schedule is tight, and to be honest,

I'm just relieved that I kept up with the schedule!
