Peace of Mind

One of the many benefits of praying the Rosary every day is "peace of mind". Meditating on the lives of Jesus and Our Blessed Mother through the Mysteries of the Rosary, we are able to discern what is important and what is not so important in our own lives. We realize that the things of this world are temporary and are not as important as eternal life with Jesus.

We may be surprised to find that our former reactions when dealing with a rude or negative person are completely gone and are replaced by a tremendous "Peace" that cannot be shaken. Rude and negative words and actions from others cannot reach where we live spiritually. The negativity can not touch us anymore and therefore has no power over us.

In fact, our reaction to certain situations even has a calming effect on others, so the rudeness and negativity is diminished in some cases. We realize that rudeness and negativity, while sometimes loud, shows weakness and that our "peace of mind" shows strength.
