Thoughts of The Unborn
on The Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary
Consider: When one man human being and one woman human
being come together, and everything is in its proper place, it is a given that
God the Father will create a new human being.
And unless a woman is the Seventh Wonder of the World and gives birth to
a nanny goat (a kid), a monkey, a whale, etc., she gives birth to a human
being, who looks like a human being – one head, two arms, two legs, and works
like every other human being.
Consider
also The Fourth Commandment: Thou shalt
honor thy father and thy mother. A human
being is bound by that commandment from the moment the human being is placed in
his or her Mom’s tummy. So if the human
being child responds to his or her Mom’s “Get lost kid!” with the response, “Same
to you, Mom,” this is not honoring your father and your mother. Thankfully, no man answers to any other man,
only to God, and so we may only pray that if the child is aborted, that he or
she may go straight home to His Heaven.
The
First Sorrowful Mystery: The Agony in
the Garden
Consider: The agony of a baby human being in his or her
mother’s womb (Mom’s tummy) when he or she hears that Mom doesn’t want him or
her. Consider the human being child’s
panic, fear, upset, cries of horror, tiny hands and feet striking out at the
unfairness and injustice of it all when he or she realizes that Mom means what
she says and he or she will not be born.
The
Second Sorrowful Mystery: The Scourging
at the Pillar
Consider: A woman who is the victim of domestic
violence and who is beaten up by her husband or boyfriend while she is bearing
a child. Consider what happens when the
child she is carrying is beaten up. The human
being child may not have been scourged as Jesus was, but the child knows that
he or she has done nothing to warrant being beaten or hurt by anyone. Consider how the child is pleading for mercy
that the punches and physical blows may be stopped and that Mom will help to
heal the physical and emotional wounds they have suffered.
The
Third Sorrowful Mystery: The Crowning
With Thorns
Consider
how the mother bearing a child is wavering:
No, I don’t want this child – the Crown of Thorns is placed on the child’s
head. Well, yes, I really do want the
child – the Crown of Thorns is taken off the child’s head. Just as Jesus’s Crown of Thorns was pulled
off and on His Head – especially when His executioners could not get His
clothes on and off.
The
Fourth Sorrowful Mystery: The Carrying
of the Cross
Consider: The human being child is born into the world
bearing a cross, emotional and possibly physical: Does Mommy really love me? What have I done wrong? Why doesn’t Daddy tell me he wants me to do all
those things with him? No human being so
small should have to start life carrying a cross that large.
The
Fifth Sorrowful Mystery: The Crucifixion
and Death of Our Lord on the Cross
Consider: The cruel death of the living unborn child
human being: always painful. The older the unborn child is, the crueler
and more inhumane his or her death is – and the human being child knows physical and
emotional pain and suffers as Jesus did.
