79.Sunday : Loyalty : Commandments
79. Rosary : A powerful defense to protect from demonic depression and influences:
Sirach chapter 15 verse 15, if you choose, you can keep the commandments; loyalty is doing the will of God. Before everyone are life and death, whichever they choose will be given them.
Due to demonic influences and life's chaos and worries, being loyal to
the commandments and choosing life in every situation is very
challenging. If we are loyal in praying the Rosary for years, we are
able to build a loyal connection with Mother Mary. In any warfare, loyalty is the supreme battle asset of all. By knowing her
mannerisms and qualities, we can better understand how she acts toward
us. Many times, we may mistakenly project our own experiences onto her;
however, the Rosary helps us to align with her true likeness. Through
it, she can extend her help to us under her motherly love and
protection. She is the definitive help in choosing life, and through
her, virtues will flourish in our lives.
Spirit of the person called 'soul' knows more about the life of the person and Spirit of God knows about God.
1 Corinthians chapter 2 verse 10, The Spirit scrutinizes everything, even the depths of God. Among human beings, who knows what pertains to a person except the spirit of the person that is within?
Matthew chapter 5 verse 19, Jesus said, Whoever obeys and teaches the commandments will be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Our own souls know best about heaven, spiritual truths, moral law, the
commandments, and our personal state. The 613 moral commandments are not
easy to remember and practice based on their own context. But the soul
remembers everything—including original sin and its consequences—and
possesses an inherent, intuitive connection to moral law to prevent sin
and the death that follows.
The alignment of soul, heart, and brain is essential for a joyful and
successful life, allowing individuals to move from a state of mere
survival to thriving. To choose life, we must realize the consequences
of death. A busy life is itself an addiction to, and a trap of, death.
Running for vanity—trying to find meaning or happiness apart from
life—leaves us running on empty. If we choose life, we need to keep the
commandments.
An awakened soul only knows moral laws within its contextual scope and
with a compassionate approach. The heart should be meek; otherwise, it
will fabricate lies to protect personal interests. Similarly, the brain
should be internally focused. An externally focused brain becomes
entangled in worries—like bills, making ends meet, news, social media,
politics, and gossip—that create anxiety, drain energy, and choke daily
life.
The Rosary is a mechanism to awaken the soul by enforcing a sacramental
life and upholding appropriate acts to maintain a state of grace. It
helps to meeken the heart by connecting with the mysteries of Jesus,
thereby eliminating worldly desires. The repetitive, contemplative mode
helps the brain to anchor internally and generate peace. Because sinful
habits prevent one from following the commandments, the Rosary serves as
a holy habit that fosters holy actions and removes sinful tendencies
from the body. Furthermore, as demonic distractions misinterpret the
context of the commandments to confuse people, the Rosary acts as a
powerful defense to avoid demonic depression and influences, which
despise the Rosary and those who pray it.
