Rosary Meditations for Parents and Children
7. Jesus remains with us this very day, the same as the day that He knelt in
the garden. He remains with us in His divinity and humanity. With
greatest love for each one of us, He longs, He thirsts, He waits for us to
come and be with Him in front of the tabernacle.
8. His suffering in the garden was so great that His sweat became as great
drops of blood upon the ground.
9. He went to the Apostles and asked them, “Had you not the strength to
stay awake one hour?” (Mk. 14:37) How many times does Jesus ask us
this day if we do not have one hour to spend with Him? There are
twenty-four hours in a day, but how many times during the day do we
say “no” to Jesus and that we are too busy? His Heart waits and waits
for us. At every second, His Heart is an endless, burning furnace of
love. Whether we think of Him or not, He is always ablaze, on fire for
us, loving us, and waiting for us to allow Him to be our constant companion.
10. God, grant to us the grace to know and to love You more so that we can
more fully realize that You truly are God-made-man in Jesus Christ.
You come to this earth in greatest love for each one of us. You long and
wait for our love. You want to give us Your love.
The Scourging at the Pillar
1. His Heart is on fire for each one of His precious souls. He longs for
us to come and be with Him. As He suffered all through His
Passion, the greatest agonies were not the agonies that He suffered
to His body, the scourging at the pillar and the tearing of His flesh.
The greatest agonies were those that He endured to His most tender
Heart, which is a Heart of love waiting to share with each and
every one of his precious souls. He calls us this day to spread His
love to the world that is in pain. He calls us to be His soldiers, to
spread the love of His Most Sacred Heart to the souls that are suffering
and in pain. We are His mighty warriors in a world that is
cold and has forgotten God. We must be strong soldiers, for this
world will persecute us as they persecuted Him. He is sending us
into the world, armed with hearts filled with His love, to spread His
love along the highways and the byways in every corner of this
earth.
2. They tied Him to a pillar and they beat His flesh. His once unblemished
back was now an open wound. He was full of blood, but His
worst agony was the agony that He endured in His Most Sacred Heart,
the Heart which gives us a sharing in His divine love. This Heart is
rejected by many, and is treated coldly.
