Sometimes when more than 10 creditors are demanding immediate payment, I start feeling an anxiety attack building up in me, that's when I rattle off 10 Hail Marys very rapidly and it all goes away. It's amazing. Has to been 10 Hail Marys. 9 won't work. I recommend it to everyone. Certainly no need to believe. But you must have the prayer down so pat that it comes to you like a autioneer's call. For you heretics who know not the intercessionary prayer to the BVM, here tis: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blesssed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen It has gotten me through many stressful moments such as being tempted to give up drinking -- 10 Hail Marys and I've got a Guinness in front of me again. Pay my utility bill or go to the titty bar -- 10 Hail Marys and I'm rebel yelling: "Take it all off!" again. Do a job right or go write -- 10 Hail Marys and I'm typing away again. It works wonderful, but you've got to pray it super fast.
