Holding the handrail-rosary in the unseen bridges with great surety
In my native place there were number of bridges made with single wood and when we see a bridge immediately we will seek for horizontally arranged handrail rope for a support. By holding this rope we can reach in opposite side of bridge . But the problem is when there is no moonlit and not even the light of kerosene lamp in the village with complete darkness we have to sense the wood with our foots and have to pass the bridge. It is not because of sight but with the faith.Yes a journey as in 2 Corinthians 5:7- "For we walk by faith, not by sight."Later this handrail-rope also will break with continous sunshine and rain.So whenever I enter in to this single wood bridge,I used to say the prayer- "Angel of Lord" as a handrail-rope that helped me to walk through the bridge and reach in opposite side.Later I realized ,this prayer is the origin of our new rosary-prayer of St.Dominic- prayer of Angel of Lord.
