An "Ignatian-Style" Rosary

James Martin, S.J.November 05, 2009

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.)

Despite discrimination because of my disability, I found grace in my confirmation journey

I use a motorized wheelchair and communication device because of my disability, cerebral palsy. Parishes were not prepared to accommodate my needs nor were they always willing to recognize my abilities.
