The Rosary

Rosary with Imaginative Contemplation - As you meditate on the mysteries of the rosary, imagine yourself in the scene (Ignatian contemplation), or you might try applying the scenes of the mysteries to experiences in your own life and see what God might be inviting you to notice. For example, if you’re praying the Joyful Mysteries, you might reflect on a time when you felt God called you to do something (the Annunciation), what it was like to share about that discernment and calling with other trusted friends (the Visitation), a time when that calling bore tremendous fruit in your life (the Nativity), anytime you’ve ever presented the fruit of your calling to others (the Presentation), a moment where you were tempted to doubt your calling but your hope was restored (the Finding of Jesus in the Temple).
