Spiritual Fruit of The Rosary

Hello Everyone,

Here are on beginning another wonderful day, and what is the first thing that comes to mind for me? The Rosary of cause. Today let us simply reflect upon all the wonderful Spiritual Fruits of the Rosary. The Rosary has so much to offer to us in our lives. I have truly found no other more perfect prayer than the Rosary, in keeping myself fully focused on my Lord. Nothing else other than straight bible study or reading, keeps my mind and my heart more focused. It is through the Rosary that we see Jesus through Mary's eyes and heart. It is through the Rosary that Mary stands by my side bringing me to her Son. It is through the Rosary that my ears and my heart listen to the sweet sweet sound; of the Hail Mary's, and the Our Father's, and the Glory Be's, and the O' My Jesus' that fill me with Joy. It is through the Rosary that today I will share with you the Spiritual Fruits that we receive by meditating on these wonderful, splendid mysteries.

I hope this is helpful for your reference in your own prayer life. I can write about and talk about the Rosary every single day, and each day, have something new to talk about. I pray that your heart gets more and more excited about the Rosary and our Lady who will lead you to her Son through her Rosary. God has blessed us with a truly beautiful, blessed Holy Mother. She is here for us whenever we need her in our challenges, she will speak to her Son on our behalf. And in all our misery and struggle, she helps keep us on the straight path that leads us to her Son.

"Jesus, I trust in You."
