The Annunciation of the Angel to Mary

The Annunciation of the Archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary

Word of God · Lk 1,26-38

And the angel came in unto her, and said: “Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest”... And Mary said: “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word”. And the angel departed from her.

Meditation

Oh Mary with Your “yes” You have opened heaven’s ways, You have achieved the will of the Father. You will be blessed for ever: Your intercession is heard in Heaven, because You have accepted God’s plan. Let us pray that we can say “yes” to the Father in every instance He ask it of us. Mary help us to be humble and obedient to God’s will. Amen.

2nd joyful mystery

The Visitation of Mary to Saint Elizabeth

The Virgin Mary visits her cousin Saint Elizabeth

Word of God · Lk 1,39-43

Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda. And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth. And it came to pass, that, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost and she spoke out with a loud voice, and said: “Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb”. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

Meditation

Mary goes to visit Elizabeth: She carries God to Her cousin, for the love of Her brothers and neighbours. Lord help us to carry Christ to others, like Mary did. Let us ask Mary the gift of burning charity. Amen.

3rd joyful mystery

The Nativity of Jesus in Bethlehem

The birth of the Child Jesus in Bethlehem

Word of God · Lk 2,6-12

And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds (…) the angel of the Lord came upon them, (...) And the angel said unto them: “Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord”

Meditation

Infant Jesus in the manger. Mary, Joseph and the shepherds adore Him. Let us also adore Christ, the Son of God, in the silence of our soul and from the depth of our heart. Let us ask Mary to make us love Jesus more, and also the gift of poverty of spirit. Amen.

4th joyful mystery

The Presentation of Jesus to the Temple

The Presentation of the Child Jesus in the Temple

Word of God · Lk 2,22-35

They brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; (...) And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. (...) And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother: “Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”

Meditation

We need to pay attention to the voice of God, to discern His call and accept the mission He gave us. After the Simeon prophecy, Mary takes into Her Heart the wound of sorrow, but in the silence She accepts the will of Her Father. Amen.

The Finding of Jesus in the Temple

The Child Jesus found in the Temple among the teachers

Word of God · Lk 2,41-51

Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. (...) And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. (...) And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

Meditation

Let us think of how many times we have been far from Jesus; from that Jesus, who with so much love has died for us. Let us meditate that in the difficulties of life the only safety is finding Jesus and never again leaving his great love. Amen.
