The Rosary
Lately, I have been saying the rosary. The weather is mild here now, so I go for a walk, sometimes slowly around the school, or around the church and alley. I say the rosary as I walk. The beads hang from my hand. Now and again someone passes me. I smile and say hello. I have gotten comfortable doing this rosary walk. I seem to shift into a peacefulness, or at least shed whatever craziness was going on in my mind. I think of the mysteries of the rosary, or look at the green mountains in front of me. I try not to look at the pretty joggers. A man saying his rosary, you expect more, right? Anyhow, by the time I return to the house, I am in pretty good shape. The iTouch has all the prayers, should I forget one or go blank on a mystery of the rosary. My rosary is coming with me to Virginia. So is my iTouch, my tennis ball to roll on as I get the kinks out of my muscles, and my jogging/walking shoes. All the essentials now include my rosary.

This is great Father. I thought I was the only one who practiced the daily walking rosary. It calms the mind and soothes the spirit.
ReplyDeleteTry shopping for a decent set of rosary beads in Boulder though!
Enjoy your trip but hurry back.
I hope for your shake you get to go to Snow Mass and have a great time. Your mind is so good. I don't know how you do it. For my sake, I hope you come back soon because I am struggling to hang in here.
