"Miracle"


In this devotion a "miracle" is a scene from the Bible where Jesus either performs or participates in a miracle.  One meditates on 5 miracles during the course of praying one rosary.  Which set of 5 "miracles" one meditates upon depends upon the day of the week the devotion is being prayed. On Sundays, it also depends on the time of year.  Below is a schedule of the "miracles" and at what times they are meditated upon. One meditates upon the first "miracle" while praying the first decade (set of 10) of Greatest Commandments, the second miracle while praying the second decade (set of 10) of Greatest Commandments, and so on...

For example, on Mondays one prays the Miraculous Healings.  "Jesus Heals the Centurion's Servant" is meditated upon during the first decade (set of 10) of "Great Commandments",  and "A Woman Touches Jesus' Garments" is meditated upon during the second decade (set of 10) of "Great Commandments", and so on...
