And yet you can go right to the Word and read it an meditate on it itself.
You can memorize it and thus meditate on it when you can’t read or are otherwise busy with your hands but have the brain free.
Psalm one promises a blessing for those who mediate on the word of God.
No need to add any extraneous prayers that could distract.
Spiritual activity does not have to be filtered through Mary, the rosary, the church, any church.
Jesus gave us direct access to the Father to come to Him boldly.
Whether it is while saying the rosary or not, meditating on Scripture is a wonderful form of prayer.
One day when praying the first Luminous mystery, the Baptism of the Lord, I was reflecting on how John might have felt when he saw Jesus arriving at the Jordan River where he was preaching the baptism of repentance. I thought of Mary’s visiting Elsabeth, how John leapt in his mother’s womb. I got to wondering how often Mary and Elisabeth got together as their sons were growing up. Was Elisabeth at the temple when Jesus was presented to the Lord? Or when Jesus was found at the temple? I picture Jesus and John playing together as kids; maybe John was there when the 12 year old Jesus was astonishing the doctors in the temple. Was there a stirring in John’s heart when he saw his cousin, the one who was greater than he, approach him to be baptized?
I have lately been meditating on Scripture that is not part of the rosary. I imagine myself being with Andrew and the other disciple as they follow Jesus to where He was staying and spend the day there. Or walking on the road to Emmaus with Cleopas as Jesus draws near. Other meditations include watching Jesus being taken up into heaven and coming across as He is preparing breakfast over a charcoal fire along the sea of Tiberias.
There are so many wonderful things to reflect on from Scripture. But I imagine you already know that.
