The "Our Father":

Enlightens us of the infinite joy of the Only Son to know that he is loved by his Father, and of his burning will to give us access to "our Father".

The "Hail Mary":

Through its slow and peaceful repetition, Mary invites us to take part in her own contemplation of Christ's Face on who rests the Glory of the Father.

Fastidious, this litany of invocations, tirelessly repeated, as many love tributes to our Heavenly Mother?...

Mary, full of grace...
the Lord is with thee...
You are blessed among women...
Jesus, your Child, is blessed...
Mother of God, pray for us sinners...

Mary treasured all these words and "reflected on them in her heart." (Lk 2,19). May we reflect on them all together or only one of them at a time, according to the grace of the moment. Do they not resound in us with a hidden meaning, every time different, depending on which of the loving looks of Mary on the Face of her Child we adopt? Going from adoration, to wonder, from pain to joy.

Face of the newborn in the manger,
Face of the 12 year old youngster entering the "house of the Father",
Face of Jesus doing, at his Mother's request, his first miracle to the benefit of a village's wedding celebration,
Christ's transfigured Face on the mountain,

and Face of the humiliated King crowned with thorns of glory,ddd

Disfigured Face of the Crucified having left his human appearance,
Face of the glorious risen Christ sending his Spirit, crowning his Mother "amongst the saints",

but always: "the image of the invisible God..." (Col 1,15 )

When we contemplate the different scenes of the Gospel, the same words on our lips and in our heart cannot have the same meaning, the same finer degrees of love or of union as were hers when we address them to Mary. It is like a process of interior imitation that takes place...

The "Glory be to the Father":

And at the end, the praise of the Trinity which terminates each evangelical meditation plunges us in the faith at the heart of the Kingdom, an anticipation of the "New Song" sung by the chosen ones before the throne of the Lamb (Rev 14,3).




		The Rosary: The prayer of the child who learns from Mary, her Mother, to penetrate the Mystery of her Son Jesus, gift of the Father to the world: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life." (Jn 3,16 )
