Pop-Up Catechesis: Our Lady of the Rosary

Joe Paprocki Prayer/Guided Reflections

Pop-Up Catechesis with Joe Paprocki

Generally, when we visit an art gallery or museum, we take our time, strolling from one piece to another and pausing in front of each one to take it in. We set our gaze upon each work of art and allow it to wash over us. This is a good metaphor for how we pray the Mysteries of the Rosary: each mystery is like a work of art that we stand before and set our gaze upon, allowing it to wash over us and speak to our hearts. In today’s episode of Pop-Up Catechesis, we focus on the Mysteries of the Rosary as we prepare to celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary on October 7 and observe the entire month of October as the Month of the Holy Rosary.

Something does not need to be lost in order to be classified as “misplaced.” We typically think of those two words as synonymous; however, there is a difference. If something is lost, it means that we are having trouble locating it. If something is misplaced, it simply means it is in the wrong place such as a, misplaced comma in a sentence (such as the one I inserted in this sentence). It is with this […]

As we journey deeper into Lent, we pause to reflect on the Second Sorrowful Mystery of the Rosary: the Scourging at the Pillar. This violent scene is depicted in all four Gospels (Luke’s Gospel refers to Jesus being “beaten.”) with very little description, yet it is one of the most vivid images of the Passion, because it was such a barbarous act intended to humiliate the victim and instill fear in onlookers. It’s important to […]
