In the coming weeks, we will offer you meditations in connection with the different mysteries of the Rosary.
The Joyful Mysteries :
1 – First mystery : The Annunciation of Gabriel to Mary
Fruit of the mystery : Humility
The Blessed Virgin, surprised by the sudden appearance of the Angel, receives his message as a request of love from God. She believes in the love of God, Who loved us first and wants us to love Him in return. And God gives new life to all those who respond to His love.
“Behold the handmaid of the Lord”. Your assent means that You become the Mother of God. You give us Jesus, our way, our truth and our life.
Our Lady, pray for us, for the people of Belgium and for all the people of the World, so that they may perceive the one true faith as a response to God’s love, and so that they may allow God to enter their lives, and be renewed from the inside.
2 – Second mystery : Mary goes to visit Her cousin Elizabeth
Fruit of the mystery : Love of neighbour, Charity
Mary hurries towards the mountains. Why is she in such a rush? Joy gives us wings, as does Charity. That is why Our Lady hurries to help Her cousin who needs her.
“My soul magnifies the Lord”. You are expecting a baby who is Our Lord, O Mary, and that is why You are full of love for us all. The place you have prepared for God inside your body increases the love You give to us.
Our Lady, pray for us, for the people of Belgium and for all the people of the World, so that their faith may be increased through works of mercy, and that they may be made worthy recipients of God’s love.
