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

3. The world is so busy this day. So few people talk about Jesus. He is with<br />

us <strong>and</strong> He is alive.<br />

4. Think about His Passion. Think about Jesus kneeling in the garden<br />

alone. Think about the torture <strong>and</strong> the sufferings that He would undergo.<br />

When we think about these things, we realize more fully His love <strong>for</strong><br />

us. He loved us so much that He gave His life <strong>for</strong> us.<br />

5. He wants the little children to come <strong>and</strong> to pray. Mary calls her little<br />

children to come to His Heart. She wants them to know His love.<br />

6. He felt agony in His Heart. For all time He would be rejected <strong>and</strong><br />

treated so coldly by so many.<br />

7. He asked His Apostles to wait with Him <strong>and</strong> they fell asleep. How many<br />

<strong>of</strong> us today fall asleep when Jesus asks us to pray <strong>and</strong> be with Him?<br />

8. Jesus wants us to spend time talking to Him all through the day.<br />

9. Jesus’ agony was so great that He sweat blood in the garden.<br />

10. We were created to know, love, <strong>and</strong> serve God. The greatest act that we<br />

can do on this earth is to love God.<br />

4. Think <strong>of</strong> how it would be to st<strong>and</strong> by <strong>and</strong> to watch your best friend<br />

beaten <strong>and</strong> bloodied be<strong>for</strong>e your very eyes.<br />

5. Think <strong>of</strong> how it would be to watch as your best friend was beaten <strong>for</strong><br />

your own <strong>of</strong>fenses.<br />

6. Jesus, the Son <strong>of</strong> God, allowed Himself to be beaten <strong>for</strong> our sins. He<br />

could have at any moment stopped His attackers <strong>for</strong> He was God.<br />

7. Jesus wants us to meditate on His Passion. It is in meditating on His<br />

Passion we know more how much He loves us.<br />

8. He loves us so much.<br />

9. Do you have a friend that would give his life <strong>for</strong> you, that would st<strong>and</strong><br />

in <strong>and</strong> allow himself to be beaten <strong>for</strong> your <strong>of</strong>fenses? Think <strong>of</strong> how much<br />

Jesus loves us, that He was willing to do this <strong>for</strong> us.<br />

10. Hail Mary…<br />

The Crowning with Thorns<br />

1. Our life is very hard sometimes <strong>and</strong> we struggle. Jesus wants us to think<br />

about His life <strong>and</strong> to see Him as He suffers all through the Passion. He<br />

shows us the way, the way is to follow Jesus.<br />
