<strong>Rosary</strong> <strong>Meditations</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Parents</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Children</strong><br />
3. Jesus shows us that love is giving. Love is not selfish. Love is giving to<br />
the other.<br />
4. It is hard many times to be like Jesus. This is especially hard when others<br />
are being so cruel to us.<br />
5. Jesus never leaves us. He knows our every thought. He knows all the feelings<br />
in our hearts. He knows when others persecute us <strong>and</strong> say nasty things<br />
to us. He wants us to know that He is always with us <strong>and</strong> guarding us.<br />
6. The world seems heartless many times. Jesus comes as the Sacred<br />
Heart <strong>and</strong> He points to His most Sacred Heart. His Heart is filled with<br />
burning love <strong>for</strong> us.<br />
7. We look at Jesus <strong>and</strong> see His head crowned with thorns <strong>and</strong> His face<br />
covered with blood. We know that He loves us so much. He allowed<br />
them to pound the thorns into His precious head.<br />
8. They spit on Him. They ridiculed Him. He took it all. He loved those<br />
who did this to Him.<br />
9. Jesus wants us to love each other. He came to show us how to love. His<br />
way was always giving to others.<br />
10. To His death on the cross, He gave Himself as a sacrifice <strong>for</strong> love <strong>of</strong> us.<br />
Jesus Carries His Cross<br />
1. Jesus’ Heart is <strong>of</strong> burning love. Jesus is all good <strong>and</strong> all perfect. They<br />
stood around Him <strong>and</strong> they shouted, “…‘Crucify him!’” (Mk. 15:13)<br />
2. They gave a heavy cross to Him. They put it on His back. He could<br />
hardly move ahead with the weight <strong>of</strong> the cross bearing down on Him.<br />
3. They poked at Him to make Him move faster. The weight <strong>of</strong> the cross<br />
was so heavy that He fell to the ground.<br />
4. Jesus is always with us. Sometimes our lives are difficult. He is there.<br />
He wants us to take the time to tell Him how much we love Him.<br />
5. Rather than complain <strong>and</strong> grumble about our lives, He wants us to tell<br />
Him how much we love Him. He is waiting <strong>for</strong> us to tell Him <strong>of</strong> our<br />
love.<br />
6. He walked with the cross on His back. His eyes met the eyes <strong>of</strong> His loving<br />
Mother. In that look, there was so much love between Jesus <strong>and</strong> His<br />
Mother.<br />
7. Mary saw His face covered with blood. She saw Him fall to the ground.<br />
When we are suffering, Mary is watching us <strong>and</strong> loving us as she loved<br />
her Son.<br />
8. In all <strong>of</strong> our trials <strong>and</strong> in all <strong>of</strong> our joys, our Mother Mary walks by our<br />
sides as she walked by the side <strong>of</strong> Jesus while He carried His cross.
