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

The Visitation<br />

1. Think that God, the Almighty God, so loved this world that He came<br />

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

2. The Angel Gabriel told Mary that her cousin Elizabeth had conceived<br />

a child in her old age.<br />

3. Mary, carrying the Child Jesus, made haste to visit her cousin<br />

Elizabeth.<br />

4. When Mary arrived at Elizabeth’s house, Elizabeth was filled with the<br />

Holy Spirit, <strong>and</strong> she said, “‘Why should I be honoured with a visit from<br />

the mother <strong>of</strong> my Lord?’” (Lk. 1:43)<br />

5. Elizabeth said that the child within her womb leapt <strong>for</strong> joy at the presence<br />

<strong>of</strong> Jesus in Mary’s womb.<br />

6. Do we cherish the great gift that we are given today, that Jesus lives in<br />

the Holy Eucharist?<br />

7. Jesus is as present as He was in the womb <strong>of</strong> Mary.<br />

8. Mary, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out the Magnificat.<br />

Song: My Soul Rejoices<br />

9. If we would see Mary carrying the Child Jesus, we would be in awe.<br />

Jesus is in the tabernacle this very moment, as present as He was in<br />

Mary’s womb.<br />

10. Jesus wants us to know how much He loves us, that He remains with us<br />

in the Holy Eucharist.<br />

A special meditation be<strong>for</strong>e the Glory Be:<br />

He wants us to tell Him how much we love Him.<br />

The Birth <strong>of</strong> Our Lord<br />

1. Mary loves us <strong>and</strong> wants us to call on her. Mary is with us at every<br />

moment.<br />

2. She listens to all <strong>of</strong> our prayers <strong>and</strong> wants to lead us to the love <strong>of</strong> her<br />

Son.<br />

3. The Child Jesus was born in a little stable in Bethlehem.<br />

4. Mary is our Mother. She cares <strong>for</strong> us today.<br />

5. Jesus gave us His Mother that we would go to her <strong>and</strong> that she would<br />

help us toward our goal, which is life in heaven.<br />

6. Mary took such good care <strong>of</strong> Jesus. She loved Him. She loves Him with<br />

such tender love. She loves us so tenderly also.<br />

7. When we love each other, we are loving Jesus.<br />
