MOST HOLY TRINITY ROSARY

In creative celebration of the Most Holy Trinity, I invite you to pray a rosary while contemplating God's presence in His creation.
Sitting near a window or outside, ask for the graces of understanding and wisdom to experience God in all things.
Begin each decade with an Our Father, followed by ten Hail Marys, and close each decade with a Glory Be.
Decade One:
Contemplate God the Father.
As you pray each bead with a Hail Mary, get lost in the grandeur of all that you see. Imagine the thousands and thousands of years of history that is before you. Envision a time when nothing existed. What is nothing? Lift your eyes, heart, and soul to the power and magnificence of the universe, its expanse and endlessness. You are one with it all. God’s creative power.
Decade Two:
Contemplate God the Son.
Behold the squirrels, birds, and critters all conducting life’s business. They have heartbeats just like yours. Praying each bead, become one with the incarnate divine life that flows through you and flows through the smallest creatures. It is holy innocence and blessed life. Tenderness. Compassion. Mercy. Reverence. All want to be held, have a home, and be loved. God in all things. Emmanuel.
Decade Three:
Contemplate God the Holy Spirit.
The changing of times and seasons happens often without notice. It is all within God’s care and guided. We all belong. Behold the living, the dying, and rising to new life. You are one with all time from the beginning into eternity.
Decade Four:
Contemplate God as One.
Decade Five:
Contemplate God as Three.
All different while remaining one. The divine dance is being danced before you. Rest in what you see. Become what you see. We are all connected: God of the Holy Trinity, creation, our brothers and sisters, the animals, and the plants.
The rosary you have prayed celebrates the circle of connectedness and the intimate relationship we share with all things: a glimpse of the Trinity.
