Motherhood

MOTHERHOOD

Pope Benedict XVI

 

First Mystery

Turning to Mary we learn from her "how to become attentive and docile disciples of the Lord.  With her maternal help, we wish to commit ourselves to quickly work in the "task" for peace, following Christ, the Prince of Peace."

O Mary, pray for our conversion from anger and impatience.

 

Second Mystery

We turn our gaze  on the great mystery of the Incarnation of the Son of God, while with particular emphasis we contemplate the Motherhood of the Virgin Mary.

O Mary, assist us in conversion of our hearts, from false virtue and talking about ourselves.

Third Mystery

In the Pauline passage Galatians 4:4 the Apostle very discreetly points to the One through whom the Son of God enters the world: Mary of Nazareth, Mother of God, "Theotokos."

 

O Mary, pray for our humility of heart, to see everything as gift from God.

 

Fourth Mystery

We are invited to attend Mary’s school, the school of the faithful disciple of the Lord, in order to learn from Mary to accept in faith and prayer the salvation God desires to pour out upon those who trust in his merciful love.

 

O Mary, our hope, expand the trust in God in our hearts that we may love one another unconditionally as we have been loved.

                                          
Fifth Mystery

…And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart" (Luke 2:19).
After the example of the Blessed Virgin, may we let ourselves be guided always and only by Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday, today, and for ever! (Hebrews 13:8).

 

O Mary, our true Mother in heaven and on earth, give us trust to become saints, now and forever!
