Today we will pray the Second Joyful Mystery: The Visitation. I imagine that the barrage of questions asked of a typical mom-to-be reached Mary’s ears throughout her pregnancy. It can certainly be draining. If folks are not asking questions, they have at least been looking at your growing stomach since their first suspicions of your pregnancy.

Today we will pray the First Joyful Mystery: The Annunciation. “The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary and she conceived of the Holy Spirit.” This first part of the Angelus prayer reminds us of the great announcement of all times: God would become flesh in the womb of Mary Most Holy so we could be saved.

Today we will pray the Introductory Prayers. The “feminine genius,” a term popularized by St. John Paul II, is perhaps best expressed in the receptivity represented by pregnancy.

The writers of Family Rosary's sister ministry, Catholic Mom, enthusiastically gathered to share meditations on each Mystery of the Rosary in a special way for pregnant mothers. We invite you to join us throughout the month of May as we pray together each day, and to share these reflections with other moms who will enjoy them. Today, Allison Gingras introduces the series. One night as I was drifting off to sleep, I asked the Lord a simple question: “Why the Rosary?”

When my husband and I were expecting our first child, we talked a lot about family prayer. We had all these ideas of what it might look like in our home, how we would live liturgically, and make our space sacred. And while I still think that most of those ideas were great, I’ve had to reconcile those ideas (and let’s face it, dreams) with the realities of the family that we have, right now. Of those ideas we had at the start, we do exactly none of them today.

Prayer, especially the Rosary, strengthens families to come to know and believe God brings us through every challenge. Coming together as a family to pray during Lent—offering thanksgiving, petition, and intercession for ourselves and others gives new meaning to the season and fosters hope.
