A Scriptural Rosary

The Rosary is a way of contemplation, which simply means to look on the face of Christ. With Mary, we remember the mysteries of Christ's life, and with her, we "learn Christ." Praying the Scriptural Rosary brings us into contact with the Word of God: it

In his letter \"Rosarium Virginis Marie\" on October 16, 2002, Pope John Paul II expressed his esteem for a method of praying that has nourished the faith of generations of Christians. Pope John Paul II also recommended the use of Scriptural verses to accompany each Mystery of the Rosary in order to deepen the Scriptural dimension of this prayer. This book offers Scriptural verses, as well as short meditations before each Mystery.

The rosary is a treasured tradition of the church, "a marvelous prayer" in the words of Pope John Paul II. In his Letter on the Rosary, the Holy Father urged a revival of this time-honored method of Christian contemplation and introduced a new set of mysteries, the Mysteries of Light. He also suggested "the proclamation of related biblical passages" as an accompaniment to each mystery as a way of allowing God to speak to us as we pray. The Mysteries of Christ: A Scriptural Rosary features pertinent Scripture verses from both the Old and New Testament for each Our Father and Hail Mary for all twenty mysteries of the rosary. Also included: Colorful artwork by Flemish Renaissance painter Simon Bening illustrating each of the twenty mysteries; Excerpts of Pope John Paul II's Letter on the Rosary; An article explaining how the rosary engages both our minds and bodies in prayer.

From the first book to the last, Scripture says we should praise God... but how do you do that? Here's how to do it! Here's what to say! By blending a wide selection of Scripture's greatest passages of praise with Bible-based meditations on the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries, the Rosary of Praise transforms a beloved prayer into a hymn of praise. Using the poetic Douay-Rheims translation of the Holy Word, here's a great way to better praise the Lord with the best possible prayer partner: the Blessed Virgin Mary!
