This is the movement of the Holy Family, leading people to Jesus through friendship, good conversation and the Rosary.

Welcome to our Rosary meditation.

Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Our first meditation comes from the mystical visions of Blessed and Catherine Emmerich.

These are visions of Jesus nailed to the cross.

It's only the first point, but it's explicit, as it describes her vision of the crucifixion in detail.

If you or someone listening with you is sensitive to this you

may want to skip to the Our Father, but it is very moving.

The executioners did not allow him to rest long, but bade him rise and place himself

on the cross that they might nail him to it.

Then seizing his right arm, they dragged it to the hole prepared for the nail,

and having tied it down with a cord,

one of them knelt upon his sacred chest. A second held his hand flat and a third

taking a long thick nail pressed it on the open palm of that adorable hand, which had ever been open to

bestow blessings and favors on the ungrateful.

And with a great iron hammer drove it through the flesh and far into

the wood of the cross. Our Lord uttered one deep but suppressed groan and his blood gushed forth and sprinkled the arms of the executioners.

I counted the blows of the hammer, but my extreme grief made me forget their number. The nails were very large, the heads

about the size of a crown piece, and the thickness that of a man's thumb, while the points

came through at the back of the cross. The Blessed Virgin stood

motionless. From time to time you might distinguish her plaintiff modes. She appeared as if she would almost faint from grief and Magdalene was quite beside herself.

When the executioners had nailed the right hand of our Lord, they perceived that his left hand did not reach the whole they had bored to receive the nail.
