In the rosary, we meditate on the mysteries of Christ and His mother. The Virgin Mary shares in the joy of His coming and the suffering of His passion and death. She is present in the major moments of His life and was raised to join Him in glory at her passing. The rosary is a reflection on His life in Scripture, her life of absolute faithfulness, and our own lives imitating them in communion with His Bride, the Church.
This book is a collection of personal prayers for deeper meditation on the mysteries. Where The Scriptural Rosary follows the life of Christ in Scripture, The Personal Rosary meditates on our lives following Him. As we pray to “imitate what [these mysteries] contain”, we focus our meditation on how we can take up our crosses in daily sacrificial love for God and one another.
This devotional aid is the result of years of prayer and introspection and meant as a companion to The Scriptural Rosary. Where The Scriptural Rosary follows the life of Christ in Scripture, The Personal Rosary is a meditation on our lives following Him. It was always meant to be about us and our relationship with Him.
It isn’t enough that He forgives us—we are to forgive. It isn’t enough that He took up His cross—we must take up ours and follow Him. We are filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ (Col 1:24) as we, His mystical Body, carry on His mission to call all people to Himself through lives of sacrificial love.
The original mysteries of the Rosary are simple to engage on a personal level. At the heart of each is the creed we profess. Each is a narrative story of powerful experiences of Christ. We will also experience them to some degree and we can relate to them fairly easily.
The Luminous Mysteries can be harder to relate and imitate… on the surface. We can’t generally change water to wine or shine like the Sun. Delving deeper, we find that the Luminous Mysteries remind us who Christ is. They powerfully illuminate His identity… and our own in communion with Him. They don’t tell a narrative story—they paint a picture.
