Yesterday I was kind of out of sorts to begin with, and by noon I was in a stressful, agitated, on-edge kind of emotional condition. So I went to the window and, looking out, said the Hail Mary prayer three times. I was immediately in a calmer, happier, more agreeable and productive state of mind. I don’t need to know why this works, or how to explain it. I just know it is relief from anxiety, and that it always works. Thank God.
