sorrowful mystery

It's part of my traveling routine to pray the rosary. I believe that to start your day right, you should at least say a prayer. 

It's Friday and so I have to pray the sorrowful mysteries. 

While inside the van praying my second mystery, the woman seated beside me grabbed her phone and started to yell cuss words. She doesn't mind what I am doing. She's so furious.

Here's the story: while her husband is sleeping, she heard that her husband's phone is ringing. She got the phone to check who's calling and surprisingly, a woman answered the phone. She then asked who the hell is she talking with and the caller said she's the new love of her husband's life. 

The woman seated beside me called the girl really, really bad names. Everything that you can attach to a husband-snatcher words like bitch, whore, family wrecker whatsoever. The woman even told her that her husband is already 46  years old, that they have six children and that she should have chosen a single guy and asked the caller to stop seeing her husband and the worst part is she even threatened the caller and her husband that she might kill them.

I'm still praying. But I asked God to forgive me because my meditation is distracted by the woman's wrath.

I thought she'd be silent after all the rants she have done. But what made the scene worse is that her husband started to call her and she is really angry with her husband and said that her husband is no longer welcome to their house. She even told the guy that one of their children is 20 years old just like the age of her lady love. She said that she should not be acting that way cause she is an educated person but the way her husband and the mistress is doing, she is forced to act like uneducated one.

My heart is pounding. I pity her. I pity her children.

I just prayed to God to grant her peace and forgiveness.
