Everyone, yes everyone, has sorrowful mysteries in their lives. They may be sad things that happen to us or to those close to us, like the sickness of ourselves or our loved ones, the betrayals, the failures. Or they may be interior things that we find hard to explain, such as depression or hidden conflict of the heart. Our sorrowful mysteries will be different for each one of us and for each of us there will be events that will make a difference.
We show much of our self by the way we respond to such trails. Some of us imagine that some part could be undone by us and get stuck on that feeling of "If Only"; It should not have happened or it should not be like this and we just get stuck in a rut over this kinds of thoughts and allow the feeling of depression to set in.
Real success does not consist in getting it right all the time. Success is what we do with our failures.
Our Lord said: "Take Up Your Cross". It is not something we go looking for in faraway places. Sooner or later the Lord hands us a cross, and our job is to recognize it.
