“Our Rosary of Giving”
©2017 James Dacey, Jr. OFS
My Friends,
Today’s Focus: Our Rosary of Giving
Yes, the Rosary is all about giving. I love how simple and how incredibly
calming the Rosary makes me feel as I
pray my way through those incredible beads. These wonderful blessed beads, have
a truly special way to bring God’s Grace into my life. I can’t always explain
it, but that is what I am trying to do this week in a reflection that focuses
fully on the Rosary. I always have Rosary beads with me, no matter where I
am, no matter what I am doing. They give me a certain peace that calms my world
in a way that I love to embrace. Mary is with me, and because she is, so is
Jesus.
What is Our Rosary of Giving? It’s rather simple to understand. When I pray
my Rosary, I pray it for others. I used
to pray it for myself, but as time has moved forward I realized that it is so
much more a blessing to be praying for everyone else. I seek nothing in return.
Some may think they know me and they say, “Sure
you pray for the things you always talk about.” Truth be known, I only pray
for this: “Lord whatever Your Will is for
me is what I so desire, nothing more, nothing less.” Now, would I like those
other things, sure. But in the depths of my soul I only desire that which our
Lord so wants for me. I am simpler than anyone really knows.
Jesus came into my life 34 years
ago and in that moment, He instilled in me many things; but that which stands
out the most, were His Mother and The Rosary.
I know till the day I die my mission in this life, is to share the Rosary, teach the Rosary, embrace the Rosary
and bring as many others as possible to better understand the Rosary. The Rosary is my life and I love the Rosary beyond words 24/7/365. Give all of yourself when you pray, not
of your possessions, but of your requests. Ask Jesus and our Lady to help and
be there for all those you love as you pray your Rosary every single day.
Suggestion: Some of you might
like this. Always carry extra rosaries with you and how to pray the Rosary pamphlets. That way when someone
says, “Oh, I don’t have a Rosary and I
don’t remember the prayers.” You just Give them a Rosary and a pamphlet to keep. Just a thought...
LOVE YOU GUYS !!!!
