The Rosary is more than a string of beads, it is a journey through the story of our salvation. As we pray each mystery, we reflect on how God’s grace and the power of the Holy Spirit have been at work in the lives of Jesus and his mother, Mary, and how they continue to work in our own lives today.
From the Annunciation, when our Blessed Mother was greeted as “highly favoured,” we are reminded that God’s call is always a gift of grace, never something we earn. Our own lives, too, are marked by this same grace, sustaining us through joys, struggles, and unexpected turns.
Like Mother Mary, we may not always understand what God is doing. She faced uncertainties and mysteries beyond her comprehension, yet she trusted and walked step by step in faith. The Rosary teaches us to do the same: not simply to recite prayers, but to contemplate and to recognise God’s saving work unfolding in our lives.
Reflection Question: When I pray the Rosary, how can I become more attentive to God’s grace and the Spirit’s work in the mysteries and in the events of my own life?
