Prayers - The path to empowerment, intimacy and peace
A) Joyful Mysteries
The Annunciation
Luke 1:26-38 | Isaiah 7:10-15 | Genesis 49:8-10
8 "Judah, your brothers shall praise you. Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies. The sons of your father shall bow down before you. 9 A young lion is Judah. From the prey, my son, you have turned. He crouches like a lion, and like a lioness; who dares to rouse him? 10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah nor the mace from between his feet, until it comes to whom it belongs, and the obedience of the peoples is his. *(NCB)
Pick any one Reflection below for Meditating this Decade:
A) LOVE FOR GOD'S WORD [Read verses 8-10 above] Genesis 49:8-10 foretells the coming of Jesus the Lion of Judah and the King of Kings. And he will be the hope of not just the Jews but also the Gentiles.
Meditation: Lord with humble hearts we pray you fill our family with wonder and love for your word. That by knowing the wisdom in scripture, we may learn to grow in love for you and for one another.
B) [You may use the above reflections or when praying as a family or group come up with your own! Have one family member read a part or the entire scriptural passage above that strikes them (1 or 2 verses is just fine). Listen with an open heart as this person shares his/her thoughts or insights. A family praying the rosary together is a graced-filled way to foster spiritual growth and bonding together.]
