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

5. We do not know the sufferings <strong>of</strong> Jesus. We do not know the sufferings<br />

<strong>of</strong> our brothers. Our brothers do not know how we suffer. Let us ask<br />

Jesus to help us to have a kind <strong>and</strong> generous heart, a heart that is like<br />

His, that we may see how to love more <strong>and</strong> more like Him.<br />

6. The world tells us that we should not have problems. Jesus shows us His<br />

body as He hung on the cross. Our true peace is in doing what the<br />

Father asks us to do.<br />

7. Song: I Love You Jesus<br />

8. The Mass is special—we give ourselves in greatest love to Jesus.<br />

9. Jesus gives Himself to us. Look how He is treated in the Holy<br />

Eucharist. He comes to us, Body, Blood, Soul, <strong>and</strong> Divinity. This is the<br />

time when we can most unite with Jesus.<br />

10. Let us resolve everyday to ask God to help us grow more deeply in our<br />

life <strong>and</strong> our love with Him.<br />

Feel the suffering within the Heart <strong>of</strong> Jesus.<br />

4. Do we know how it is to love someone? Someone special? To love them<br />

so much? When they speak harsh or cruel words to us, they wound our<br />

hearts. The words wound because <strong>of</strong> our great love <strong>for</strong> them. Jesus<br />

loves us with the deepest love. In the garden, He saw be<strong>for</strong>e Him all <strong>of</strong><br />

those that He loved so dearly. He felt the pain <strong>of</strong> rejection. He felt such<br />

sorrow <strong>for</strong> those He loved so much that would hate Him.<br />

5. Do we know what it is like to have heartache, to be bent over, to scream<br />

out in pain? Jesus loves with the most perfect love. We see in our world<br />

today how He is treated with such indifference <strong>and</strong> such negligence.<br />

Think <strong>of</strong> how it is when you love someone so dearly. When they are<br />

cruel, their words wound. Think <strong>of</strong> how it was <strong>for</strong> Jesus Who loves per-
