Our Lady in Medjugorje asked in her messages for the Rosary to Jesus
THE ROSARY OF JESUS
To commemorate His 33 Years of Life on Earth
INITIAL PRAYER
My Jesus, at this moment, I wish to be in Your Presence, with all my heart, with all my feelings, with all my Faith.
You are, for me, Brother and Savior.
I am sure that you will be present, with Your Spirit, in this Holy Rosary offered to You and I give you Grace!
At the beginning of this prayer, grateful for your life, behold, O Jesus, I too entrust you with my poor and miserable existence.
I leave aside all my worries, all my problems, everything that attracts me and distracts me from You.
I renounce sin, with which I destroyed our mutual friendship.
I renounce evil, with which I have offended Your Goodness and made Your Mercy difficult.
I place at your feet, O Jesus, all that I possess: my miseries, my sins, my not always constant Faith, my not always good intentions, but I also entrust you with my will to want to change your life and recognize you as My only refuge, in which I will find, and I am sure of it, Heavenly Father, the Holy Spirit and the Holy Virgin, Coredemptrix of the whole Human race.
O most Holy Mary, you have been, above all, a caring Mother towards Your Son Jesus, raised at Your School, with Your Teachings and nourished with Your Infinite Love.
No one in the world will equal you and therefore I ask you to do the same to me, who am Your poor and sinful child.
Be You, now, next to me, so that You can intercede, with Jesus, and present to him this Rosary of mine, which I will recite with the fervor that the occasion requires.
O Virgin and Holy Mother, pray together with me, so that the Spirit of Jesus may be poured out on me, in me, and be one with the Father, the Holy Spirit and You.
Amen.
I think…
FIRST MYSTERY
Jesus was born in a cave
Joseph, who was from the House and Family of David, also went from the City of Nazareth and Galilee to the City of David, called Bethlehem, in Judea to register with Mary, His Bride, who was pregnant.
Now, while they were in that place, the days of childbirth were fulfilled for her.
He gave birth to His Firstborn Son, wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the lodging.
There were, in that region, some shepherds, who watched at night, guarding their flock.
An Angel of the Lord appeared before them and the glory of the Lord enveloped them in light.
They were greatly frightened, but the Angel said to them:
“Fear not, behold, I announce to you a great joy, which will be of all the People: today, in the City of David, there was born a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
This, for you, the Sign: you will find a Child, wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger ”.
And immediately a multitude of the Celestial Army appeared with the Angel, praising God and saying:
"Glory to God, in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to the Men he loves" (Lk 2,4-14).
Reflection
A poor cave, simple and humble as a home, as a refuge: this was your first home!
Only if I transform my heart and make it so, that is, poor, simple and humble like that cave, can Jesus be born in me.
Then, praying, fasting and witnessing with my life, with my Faith ... I will be able to make this heart beat in my other brothers.
Spontaneous prayer ...

O Jesus, be strength and protection for me.
SECOND MYSTERY
Jesus loved and gave everything to the poor
The day was beginning to decline and the Twelve approached him saying:
"Dismiss the crowd to go to the villages and surrounding countryside to stay and find food, because here we are in a deserted area".
Jesus said to them:
"Give it to yourself to eat."
But they replied:
"We have only five loaves and two fish, unless we go to buy food for all these people."
There were, in fact, about five thousand men.
He said to the Disciples:
"Have them sit in groups of fifty."
So they did and invited them all to sit down.
Then, He took the five loaves and the two fishes and, raising his eyes to heaven, blessed them, broke them and
he gave to the Disciples to distribute them to the crowd.
All ate and satiated and parts of them left twelve baskets were taken away (Lk. 9,12-17).
Reflection
Jesus loved and sought, in a particular way, the weak, the sick, the marginalized, the disinherited, the sinners.
I too must do my part: to seek and love all these brothers, without distinction.
I could have been one of them, but, by the gift of God, I am what I am, always thanking the Lord for His infinite goodness.
Spontaneous prayer ...
5 Our Father ...
O Jesus, be strength and protection for me.
THIRD MYSTERY
Jesus totally opened himself to the Father's Will
Then Jesus went with them to a farm called Gethsemane and said to the Disciples:
"Sit here while I go there to pray."
And, taken with Himself Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to feel sadness and anguish.
He said to them:
“My Soul is sad to the death; stay here and watch with Me ”.
And, advancing a little, he prostrated himself with his face on the ground and prayed, saying:
"My Father, if possible, pass this cup from Me, but not as I want, but as You want!".
Then, he returned to the Disciples and found them sleeping.
And he said to Peter:
“So, have you not been able to watch for one hour with Me?
Watch and pray, so as not to fall into temptation. The Spirit is ready, but the flesh is weak. "
And again, going away, he prayed saying:
"My Father, if this cup cannot pass through me, without Me drinking it, Your Will will be done".
And, returning again, he found his own sleeping, because their eyes had grown heavy.
And, leaving them, he went away again and prayed, for the third time, repeating the same words (Mt. 26,36-44).
Reflection
If I want God to work in me, I must open my heart, my Soul, all of myself to His Will.
I cannot allow myself to fall asleep on the bed of my sins and selfishness and, at the same time, neglect the invitation that the Lord proposes to me to suffer together with Him and fulfill with him the Will of the Father, who is in Heaven!
Spontaneous prayer ...
5 Our Father ...
O Jesus, be strength and protection for me.
FOURTH MYSTERY
Jesus gave himself completely into the Father's hands
So, Jesus spoke. Then, roll your eyes, said:
“Father, the hour has come, glorify Your Son, so that the Son glorify You.
For You have given Him Power over every Human Being, so that He may give Eternal Life to all those you have given Him.
This is Eternal Life: let them know You, the Only True God and the One you sent, Jesus Christ.
I glorified You above the earth, carrying out the Work you have given Me to do.
And now, Father, glorify Me before you, with that Glory that I had with You, before the World was.
I made Your Name known to the Men you gave Me from the World.
They were Yours and you gave them to Me and they kept Your Word.
Now, they know that all the things you have given Me come from You, because the Words that you have given to Me I have given them to them; they welcomed them and truly know that I came out of you and believed that You sent Me.
I pray for them; I do not pray for the world, but for those you have given me, because they are yours.
All My Things are Yours and All Your Things are Mine, and I am Glorified in them.
I am no longer in the world; instead they are in the world, and I come to you.
Holy Father, guard, in Your Name, those whom You have given Me, so that they may be one, like Us.
When I was with them, I kept, in Your Name, those you gave Me and I kept them; none of them have been lost, except the "Son of Perdition", for the fulfillment of Scripture.
But, now, I come to you and say these things, while I am still in the world, so that they may have in themselves the fullness of My Joy.
I have given them your word and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.
They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
Sanctify them in Truth.
Your Word is Truth.
As You sent Me into the World, I also sent them into the World; for them, I consecrate myself, so that they too may be consecrated in truth "(Jn 17,1: 19-XNUMX).
Reflection
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus, speaking with His Heavenly Father, gives him His Testament, which reflects, in all respects, the primary Will of the Father: to accept the Death of the Cross, to redeem the whole World from the Original Sin and save him from the Eternal Condemnation.
The Lord made me a great gift!
How can I ever return this gesture if not in the "trial" that the Lord permits, in the sufferings that "cook" my Soul and purify it from the waste of sin?
So, I too must share in the suffering of Christ: become a little "Cyreneus", not only of the Cross, but also of the most varied sufferings.
In doing so, the Lord will use me mercy and provide for my soul, making himself "guarantor" with his Father in Heaven.
Spontaneous prayer ...
5 Our Father
O Jesus, be strength and protection for me.
FIFTH MYSTERY
Jesus obeys the Father, until he dies on the cross
“This is My Commandment: that you love one another, as I have loved you.
Nobody has a love greater than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.
You are My friends, if you do what I command you "(Jn 15,12: 14-XNUMX).
Reflection
The Lord left me a Commandment which is not a Commandment, but a spontaneous choice, accompanied, however, by a Love that is His and that I must make mine, at all costs: Love everyone, as He did when he was in Life and when he was dying on the cross.
Jesus asks me, and I say it with honesty and sincerity, an act of love, which for me appears too great, almost insurmountable: to love, to love and still to love my neighbor, even the most treacherous.
How will I do, Lord?
I'll succeed?
I am weak, I am a poor and wretched creature!
However, if You, Lord, are in me, everything will be possible for me!
Therefore, if I entrust and consecrate to You, you will do what is Good for me.
My abandonment to Your Will and Mercy is my unconditional and definitive Love for You.
Spontaneous prayer ...
5 Our Father ...
O Jesus, be strength and protection for me.
SIXTH MYSTERY
Jesus overcame Death with His Resurrection
(The women) found the rolled stone, away from the Sepulcher, but, entered, they did not find the Body of the Lord Jesus.
While still uncertain, here are two men appearing close to them, in bright robes.
Since the women were afraid and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them:
“Why are you looking for the living One among the dead?
He is not here, he is Risen.
Remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee, saying that the Son of Man had to be handed over to sinners, that he should be Crucified and Risen on the Third Day "(Lk. 24,2-7).
Reflection
Death has always intimidated every Human Being.
But what will my death be like, Lord?
Lord Jesus, if I truly believe in Your Resurrection, in Body and Soul, why should I be afraid?
If I believe in You, Lord, that you are the Way, the Truth and the Life, I have nothing to fear, if not the lack of Your Grace, Your Mercy, Your Goodness, Your Promise that you made when you were on the Cross:
"I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to Me" (Jn 12,32:XNUMX).
Jesus, I trust in you!

O Jesus, be strength and protection for me.
SEVENTH MYSTERY
Jesus, with His Ascension into Heaven, makes us a gift of the Holy Spirit
Then he led them out to Bethany and, raising his hands, blessed them.
As he blessed them, he detached himself from them and was taken to Heaven.
And after having worshiped Him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy; and they were always in the Temple, praising God (Lk 24,50-53).
Reflection
Although Jesus took leave of His Apostles and left this Earth, he did not make us "orphans", nor did I feel "orphaned", but made us rich, giving us the Paraclete Spirit, the Comforter Spirit, or the Holy Spirit, always ready to take His place, if we will invoke him with Faith.
I ask continually for the Holy Spirit to enter me and invade me always with His Presence, so that I can face the most difficult moments of which life dispenses me and all of us every day.
Spontaneous prayer ...
3 Our Father
O Jesus, be strength and protection for me.
CONCLUSION
Now, let us contemplate Jesus who sends the Holy Spirit to the Apostles, gathered in prayer, in the Upper Room, with Mary Most Holy.
As the day of Pentecost was about to end, they were all together in the same place.
Suddenly there came a rumble from the sky, like a wind, which was pounding, and filled the whole house where they were.
Tongues of fire appeared to them, dividing and resting on each of them; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them the power to express themselves (Acts 2,1: 4-XNUMX).
INTENTION
Let us invoke, with Faith, the Holy Spirit, so that he may pour out His Power and Wisdom on all of us, on our families, on the Church, on the Religious Communities, on all Humanity, in a particular and special way on those who decide the fate of the World ,
May the Spirit of Wisdom transform the hardest hearts and souls of men and inspire thoughts and decisions that build justice and guide their steps towards peace.
7 Glory to the Father ...
