I think I’m in a rut concerning contemplating the mysteries. Any advice? I’d like a link or the name of a brochure or booklet.
Thanks.

Recently I have read the mysteries in another language. I liked that.
You could do the scriptural rosary kind of thing where you do a different phrase on each bead with your hail marys. The KofC has a booklet online, here is a link to their page of booklets, you want the one about A scriptural Rosay for Peace. It is in adobe reader format. I recall liking it awile back.

Another way of making the rosary come alive is to try and relate the mysteries to things in your own life. For instance, in the new Luminous Mysteries, when you pray the first mystery, “The Baptism of The Lord,” you can contemplate how you are carrying out your baptismal promises. When the mysteries are brought to the here and now, they can come alive in your life.
May God bless you,

I also find that praying the Rosary for a specific intention can bring to mind many reflections on the Mysteries.
For example, if I’m praying for an end to abortion and praying the Joyful Mysteries:
The Annunciation: Mother Mary, pray for those women who have recently discovered they are pregnant that they will choose life for their child in spite of difficult circumstances, just as you did.
The Visitation: Lord, for women experiencing crisis pregnancies, please send people into their lives to help them and support them in difficult circumstances, just as You sent Mary to Elizabeth to comfort and assist her during her pregnancy.
The Birth: Lord, bless all babies born on this day. Help them to find safe and loving homes. We thank you, Lord for all babies given selflessly to other families through adoption. Bless all birthmothers for their great gift of love.
The Presentation: Lord, we present all children to You today – those born, those growing in their mothers’ wombs, those who have passed from stillbirth, miscarriage or abortion. We entrust their souls to Your Divine Line.
The Finding at the Temple: Lord Jesus and Mother Mary, we entrust to you all children who are lost, physically or spiritually, and pray that through your intercession they will be found. May all parents be as devoted as you, Mary, and your chaste spouse Joseph.
Hope this helps!
