<strong>Rosary</strong> <strong>Meditations</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Parents</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Children</strong><br />

7. We tell Mary we are sorry <strong>for</strong> the disrespectful way some treat her. We<br />

tell her we love her.<br />

8. Hail Mary, full <strong>of</strong> grace. She is full <strong>of</strong> grace, <strong>for</strong> she is the mother <strong>of</strong><br />

Jesus.<br />

9. The Child Jesus was conceived in the womb <strong>of</strong> Mary, <strong>and</strong> His Heart<br />

was <strong>for</strong>med within her womb.<br />

10. Let us ask our Mother Mary to help us.<br />

The Visitation<br />

1. Mary went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth, who had also conceived <strong>of</strong> a<br />

child in her old age.<br />

2. “…‘Of all women you are the most blessed, <strong>and</strong> blessed is the fruit <strong>of</strong><br />

your womb.” (Luke 1:42) This was the greeting that Elizabeth gave to<br />

Mary when Mary came to visit her.<br />

3. The child within the womb <strong>of</strong> Elizabeth jumped <strong>for</strong> joy at the presence<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Almighty God <strong>and</strong> the Virgin Mary.<br />

4. Who are we that God loves us so much that He came to this earth,<br />

walked the earth, suffered, <strong>and</strong> died that we would share in His life?<br />

5. We are human persons. He is a Divine Person. It is through Baptism<br />

that He allows us to share in His divine life.<br />

6. We are the children <strong>of</strong> God. Mary is our Mother <strong>and</strong> we have a most<br />

loving Father.<br />

7. Let us <strong>for</strong>ever be thankful <strong>for</strong> the visits that God gives to us through His<br />

grace.<br />

8. Mary carried the Child Jesus, the Son <strong>of</strong> God, within her womb. He<br />

gives Himself to us in the Holy Eucharist. He comes to us. He is as present<br />

in us in the Holy Eucharist as He was in Mary’s womb.<br />

9. Mary wants us to come to her heart. She will take us to the Heart <strong>of</strong><br />

her Son. Jesus loves us so much.<br />

10. How pure <strong>and</strong> tender is the heart <strong>of</strong> Mary. How loving, how kind she is.<br />

Dwelling in her heart, we will become more pure, more tender, more<br />

loving, <strong>and</strong> more kind. We have a mother when we are born, Mary is<br />

the Mother <strong>of</strong> our spiritual life.<br />

The Child Jesus Is Born in Bethlehem<br />

1. Dear Jesus, how tenderly we love You <strong>and</strong> thank You <strong>for</strong> coming to this<br />

earth <strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong> giving us a sharing in Your divine life.<br />

2. Jesus waits <strong>for</strong> us to come <strong>and</strong> to tell Him <strong>of</strong> our love.<br />

3. We cannot imagine the beauty <strong>of</strong> our own soul when we are in the state<br />

<strong>of</strong> grace!
