Have you had any positive experiences with praying the Scriptural Rosary? Then we would be happy to receive a short testimony for a possible publication on this homepage or in the print versions.
Alois:
“Everyone is very pleased with it in our prayer group and they find the Scriptural Rosary to be a very precious and deep aid for communal prayer! The passages from the Bible are very well chosen. It’s just ‘awesome’!”
Maria:
“With the Scriptural Rosary I consciously take time for prayer and I confront the truths about Jesus. Through the Hail Mary I let myself be carried through the bible passages. This prayer reminds me of the prayer of psalms, which I like very much. I find the comments on the meditations very appealing. They are especially helpful because they lead me to be close to the mysteries.”
Monika:
“Praying the Scriptural Rosary leads me to a special deepness that I can rediscover. Through contemplation of the Bible verses, I can better engage and concentrate on the prayer. My thoughts remain with the Lord and do not wander so easily. The life and ministry of Jesus becomes concretely internalized. My faith in everyday life is especially strengthened.”
Alex:
“I am a fan of the Scriptural Rosary, because it makes the recitation of the rosary a lively experience and as contemplative prayer brings the biblical texts to the foreground again. In this way I can really contemplate, I’m more involved and I do not fall into daydreams that easily.”
Diakon Gottfried:
“The reflections of the Scriptural Rosary are a great enrichment to my faith because I see the whole life of Jesus pass before my eyes.”
Michael:
“Praying the Scriptural Rosary is a real door-opener to the word of God. It opens up to me the fullness of the mysteries of Our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Konrad:
“I prayed the consolatory rosary before the Blessed Sacrament and was touched very deeply while looking at the scriptures and was able to feel the comforting love of our Lord Jesus very strongly. It was a beautiful experience of the love of Jesus, which I can not explain in words. Thank you, Jesus!”
Silvia:
“The Scriptural Rosary is a wonderful opportunity for me as a ‘visual thinker’ to delve deeper into the mysteries that are known and prayed in the rosary. I love stories and inner pictures. If then every mystery is ‘illuminated’ with ten written passages, the images that are created will still resonate in my mind for a long time. You can also use individual mysteries to organize devotional prayers with aspecific theme. For example, this year we have designed five May devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary – one each week – with the glorious mysteries of the rosary. The feedback from the participants was very positive. One woman said that the words, which are often mumbled unconsciously, suddenly take on meaning.”
Johannes
“My prayer of the rosary has gained new depths. I can now look at the mysteries better and deeper through the Scriptural Rosary. I thank Mary that I was able to discover it.”
