Description
A brief history and instruction in how to pray an older form of the Rosary, developed by the Carthusians in the 15th century.
From the text: "The primary difference between the Life of Christ Rosary and the Dominican with which most are now more familiar is in the structure of the mysteries. The Dominican has 20 mysteries, divided into four sets of five, with each mystery meditated upon while repeating a decade of ten Hail Marys. These sets are often prayed one set per day on different days of the week, so that over the course of four days one has gone through all 20 mysteries. In contrast, the Life of Christ Rosary has a total of 50 mysteries, each of which is prayed once in conjunction with the 50 Hail Mary prayers. Thus, one is walked through the life of our Lord each time one prays it.... The Life of Christ Rosary is in no way superior to the Dominican, merely different. It is offered here as an alternative to those who may find this approach better suited to them."
Please note that this is a really brief booklet (only about 3,000 words). It looks longer because there is a section at the end that allows the reader to go through the Rosary step by step with a different bead on each page.
