Welcome to our daily Rosary meditation.

Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

Five times in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus doesn't suggest he commands us not to worry.

He says, do not be anxious, have no anxiety, but yet we still do. So we need to understand the

mechanism of anxiety and we need a practical strategy that offers a way out. Now everyone

has experienced the feeling we get before a really big important event,

pre-game jitters, or performance anxiety. Our brain is putting our

body on high alert so we will perform at our best. Your brain and your body are doing what they're designed to do.

Anxiety is just our brain sending a message to mobilize all our resources for a big challenge and this is a very good thing. But sometimes

the brain sends a false alarm. Sometimes it sends the message to be on high alert, but at the wrong time and for no good reason.

And sometimes that message gets stuck in the on position and it doesn't turn off. It's like the

brain pulling the fire alarm when there is no fire. So it's a false alarm that just won't shut off.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallow it would be your name, Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us to stay our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us and need us not into

temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women, blessed he's a fruit of thy womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, mother of God, breathe for a sinners, now and at the hour of our death,

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women,

blessed that he's a fruit of thy womb Jesus.
