The working week begins with a recollection of the inbreaking of God's grace into our world beginning with the Angelic Salutation at Nazareth, and our focus is on the Joyful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. To help your contemplative praying of the First Joyful Mystery, use the photo here, which was taken in the Annunciation chapel in the Rosary Shrine in London – one of the fifteen Rosary Altars and Chapels in this church built by the Dominican friars in 1883 – and then consider: 

One of the greatest helps towards settling the wandering mind when saying the Rosary is to make the mysteries our own. At the mystery of the Annunciation for instance, we might ponder the fact that each one of us has his/her own annuntiation. Each one has a distinctive call, a life to live and a work to do. So why should not this engage me during the Rosary? My own practice on awakening in the morning is to reach for the beads and ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten me as to what this day holds. I pray that I may not miss the Lord's announcement and fail to see the door of opportunity that awaits me. (From 'Heaven Sent - My Life Through the Rosary' by Fr Gabriel Harty OP, a son of the Province of Ireland)

Today, I wish to pray especially for all those who have joined our community of prayer in the last 24 hours. Welcome! Let us pray Our Lady's Rosary together, and so form a chain of prayer across the globe, surrounding the internet with prayer. 

Pray: 1 Our Father, 10 Hail Mary's, and 1 Glory Be.
