Today we begin celebrating Mary and the Holy Rosary. Of course as everyones knows, I love praying the Rosary! It's never the same prayer for me and I love when Mary surprises me with a new insight. When meditating on the Rosary, I often like to imagine how Mary saw these events unfold. She knew Jesus better than anyone. Intuitively, she must have known what all Jesus' gestures, smiles, and glances meant as He encountered both individuals and crowds, supporters and challengers, love and hostility. Mary was blessed to have spent thirty years with Jesus before He began His mission.
I would like to suggest that we spend the next thirty days discovering Jesus through Mary's eyes. A mother knows her child not through a couple of keys moments, but through thousands of little moments from day to day and year to year. Let's spend time with Mary and ask her to share some of those moments from the "Hidden years". Let's begin when Jesus was just a baby and each day add one year to His age. Perhaps these little discoveries will enhance our Rosary meditations. Let's fall in love with the child Jesus just as Mary did!
