15. Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination. [By this the Blessed Moth-
er means that a devotion to the Rosary is a good indication that the devotee is on the

path to Heaven.]

CREATE YOUR OWN MYSTERIES OF THE ROSARY

The Rosary is meant to be prayed as a meditation on the life of Christ. We have 4
traditional sets of mysteries in the Rosary: Joyful, Sorrowful, Luminous &
Glorious.

We can also “create” our own mysteries by going through the Gospel and
identifying aspects of the life of Christ that speak to us or that we would like
to meditate on.

For example, if you or a family member is in need of physical healing:
The mysteries of Healing.
 Jesus heals the man born blind (John 9:1-12)
 Jesus raises the widow’s son from the dead (Luke 7:11-17)
 Jesus heals the hemorrhaging woman (Mark 5: 25-34)
 Jesus heals the paralytic (Mark 2:1-12)
 Jesus expels the demons from a man (Luke 8:26-37)

Another example - if you would like to understand God’s
personal love for you in a deeper way, you can meditate on
the following stories, imagining yourself as the person in the
passage receiving Jesus’ personal love:

 Jesus heals the blind man, Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46-52)
 Jesus meets the woman at the well (John 4:1-42)
 Jesus Calls Matthew, the tax collector (Matthew
9:9-13)
 Jesus frees the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1-11)
 Jesus cures the woman with the hemorrhage (Matthew
9:20–22, Mark 5:25–34, Luke 8:43–48).

Another example - maybe you would like to understand what forgiveness really looks
like so you can offer it to others. Meditate on the following passages:

 Jesus forgives his executioners (Luke 23:32-36)
 The Prodigal Son returns (Luke 15:11-32)
 Peter denies Jesus 3 times (Luke 22:54-62)
 Jesus forgives Peter, reinstates & commissions him (John 21:15-18)
 Jesus frees the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1-11)
