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

10. It is important to interact with others <strong>and</strong> visit with others. But we must<br />

have a quiet place in which we go <strong>and</strong> talk to Jesus.<br />

The Birth <strong>of</strong> Jesus<br />

1. When we follow Jesus in this world today, many times, we will be rejected.<br />

At birth, Jesus was rejected. There was not a place <strong>for</strong> Him to lay<br />

His head. He was born in a stable.<br />

2. We carry out the life, death, <strong>and</strong> resurrection <strong>of</strong> Jesus in our lives.<br />

When we feel rejected by others, we must remember how Jesus was<br />

rejected. He is allowing us to share in His suffering <strong>and</strong> to know Him<br />

more deeply.<br />

3. God so loved this world that He sent His only begotten Son. Jesus came<br />

into this world in a human baby body. The Almighty God enters this<br />

world in a little body out <strong>of</strong> greatest love <strong>for</strong> man.<br />

4. Many times we feel frightened <strong>and</strong> we do not know whom to turn to.<br />

Jesus wants us to go to a quiet room <strong>and</strong> to talk to Him about our problems.<br />

He never leaves us. He is always with us.<br />

5. Jesus came into this world in such poverty <strong>and</strong> was laid in a little<br />

manger in a stable. If we meditate on Jesus in the stable <strong>and</strong> lying in<br />

the manger, we will realize more His love <strong>for</strong> us. God comes in such<br />

poverty <strong>and</strong> such humbleness into our world.<br />

6. We realize how much God loves His creatures, that He comes in the<br />

womb <strong>of</strong> a human person, the Virgin Mary.<br />

7. Do we realize that God has all the power, that He is magnificent,<br />

that He is Almighty, that He created all that exists in this world? Do<br />

we realize that He gives life to every baby that comes into this world<br />

<strong>and</strong> that He created all the trees <strong>and</strong> all the stars in the sky? This<br />

Almighty God loved us so much that He came into this world as a little<br />

helpless baby.<br />

8. Mary loves us more than any earthly mother loves her children <strong>and</strong> she<br />

wants to have a personal relationship with us. She wants us to know<br />

how she cares <strong>for</strong> everything that we are doing <strong>and</strong> that she wants us to<br />

talk to her <strong>and</strong> know that she is <strong>for</strong>ever by our sides.<br />

9. Life seems so hard many times. It is then, as always, that we must go to<br />

Jesus. He is so close to us in our struggles.<br />

10. We should think <strong>of</strong> Jesus telling us how much He loves us. Jesus loves<br />

each one <strong>of</strong> us individually. He loves us more than any person on this<br />

earth could love us. Jesus loves us so much that He came into this<br />

world <strong>and</strong> He died <strong>for</strong> us on the cross. We should think about this<br />

<strong>of</strong>ten.
