PictureOur Lady "promoting" the Rosary in Lourdes
I have always envied people who find prayer easy. I would like to be one of them but for some reasons the Lord hasn’t given me such a gift. However he has given me a couple of prayers which have sustained me in my life splendidly. One of them is the Breviary which as a priest and Oblate I pray five times a day and the second prayer is the Rosary. As we come to the end of October which is dedicated to the Rosary we are reminded that October is not the only time we should remember our Rosary beads. October is like a teaser to get us savour the depth, beauty and power of the Rosary prayer so that we could extend our use of the Rosary for the remaining eleven months.
Why do I appreciate this prayer so much? I know a wise and holy priest who keeps saying that praying and playing golf have a common aspect. If you don’t do them regularly you do them badly. The Rosary gives us a chance to do praying well by engaging us in praying regularly. Because of my daily commitment to the Rosary I have prayed in the times when I was so happy that I  would jump up to the moon but I have also prayed when I didn’t feel like leaving my room. What I have learnt from this exercise is that I don’t wait to pray until I feel like praying but I pray every day. I love the simple words we repeat so often which have been taken from the Holy Bible, I appreciate that I can meditate in a simple way on the most essential mysteries of our salvation and I have never enough the company of Our Lady as she leads my through these deep events her Son Jesus Christ was part of.
What can I say about my prayer then? It is regular thank to the Rosary.
