A reader sent me a link to this.  And, no, I hadn't heard of it either.  But check it out.  It's from the California Province Jesuits.  They suggest using the techniques of Ignatian contemplation (imagining yourself in the scene) and applying them to particular events in Jesus's life, for a new way of doing the Rosary.  Interesting.  See what you think here.  (But where's the First Contemplation?)

I'll have to spend a little more time with it, but my first reaction is that it feels a little too "contrived" for me.  There's not enough room (or invitation) for me to use my imagination and discover my own response.

I'm a huge fan already. Thanks, Father Martin! (I hope they go back and add the first meditation at some point... probably a transcription error.)

In a long post on X, the Ukrainian leader said that during the conversation with Cardinal Pietro Parolin, “I wished Pope Francis a speedy recovery and thanked him for his prayers and moral support for our people.”
