Worth Knowing..

We stumble and fall constantly even when we are most enlightened. But when we are in true spiritual darkness, we do not even know that we have fallen. ---Thomas Merton

 

Jesus said, "If the light inside you is darkness, how great is that darkness." This is why I need to pray the rosary daily. The rosary is a meditation on the gospel, on the life of Jesus. It is taking His life in one moment at a time, asking Mary to help us see it through her loving and faithful eyes. When we see Him, we see light. This light shines upon us in our darkness, keeping us real with ourselves and God. It shows us how needy we are, and, how loved we are. This brings us to humility, where, though we fall 7 times a day, we are still walking with Him, able to get up and move on. This brings grace to keep fighting the fight. The rosary brings to our lives His life. Without Him, there is false light that keeps us in darkness, and from knowing anything truly worth knowing.
