Another Rosary Post

I fully realize that I have devoted a part of this blog to the Rosary. I, however, cannot express how important that prayer has recently become to me.

When I was little, my family and I would pray it every day during Lent. About the only other time I prayed it was with my CCD class in October or when we were at the Adoration chapel.

Now the Rosary has become so important to me. I have prayed it every day for more than a month - probably two months - now. Strangely, even on a day I haven't prayed it yet - like at eleven-twenty at night - I will drop what I am doing and pray it.

You are probably wondering why the Rosary is so important to me. I found it is a good way to start out my day. When I don't do it on the bus on my way to school, my whole day feels off. I feel peaceful and forget about all my worries when I pray it.

Earlier this year, I joined the Rosary Confraternity at my church. It's open to anyone sixteen and up. It annoyed me last year because I was only fifteen at the time they inducted new members. I took a vow to say the three mysteries of the Rosary. I've taken it further. I have done the four mysteries of the Rosary. I have said it every day. Now it has become a part of my life.

You know what? My faith is becoming ever so stronger. I feel much happier now that I pray it every day. That is a lot coming from a seventeen-year-old girl. I realize that. At the same time, my Confirmation saint, St. Bernadette, prayed it everyday. She was fourteen. Maybe, without realizing it, I am imitating her. We should all imitate her and say the Rosary every single day.
