Our Lady of the Rosary

Acts 1:12-14, Magnificat, Luke 1:26-38

“After Jesus had ascended into heaven, the apostles went back to Jerusalem, to the Upper Room. All these joined in continuous prayer, together with several women, including Mary the mother of Jesus.”

Imagine yourself in the Upper Room with the apostles, Mary and the women. Listen to their conversations about Jesus. See how Mary helps them deal with all that has happened. Mary includes you in the conversation. Tell her your joys and concerns. Be aware of her strong presence.
