Some days my life is so peaceful & calm,Some days (very few) it can be chaotic.Most days its somewhere in between.
Since converting to the Catholic Church 4 years ago I adopted the daily routine of praying the Rosary with the aid of an online Schriptural Rosary aid.
A year ago we moved to a rural location that has no cable,internet,or telephone service.Only satellite TV &internet from towers.The trick is to find a service that the tower is not blocked by hills.ridges or oak tree forests.After 9 months & considerable expense we found a tower that broadcast a strong enough signal to our little valley to operate the puter.
During the time of no puter I learned to rely on memorized thoughts about the various mysteries of Christ to think on as I recited the Hail Marys.All well & good but over time it became automatic,dry ,& for me lifeless.but I continued to use this method for various reasons.
So we come to today.A couple interruptions might annoy me slightly but no big deal usually. But today for me was a real test.11 times I got as far as "Faith,Hope,& Charity,“For an increase in Faith we pray,Hail Mary full of Grace…” & would be interrupted,go solve the problem then return to the Rosary…I began at 8:00 AM it was now 11:00 AM…I was exasperated & bordering on anger (not good ).
So for some reason I went back to the computer & found a new site with a computer assisted Mysteries of Christ to help me concentrate.I hadn`t used the computer to aid in the Rosary for a year except maybe twice (different website).
It was a good thing,so rich & revelant,the hassels of the morning were worth it.I might not have looked for this site otherwise.
