More Than Just 50 Beads: Rosary Mysteries Through the Liturgical Year (Eudist Prayer Books Book 2)

The Rosary is a spiritual exercise that unites religion to daily life. In it, we unite ourselves to Mary in remembering the mysteries of our Lord Jesus, the Son of God. A particular text may be taken from the Word of God which deepens the mystery in consideration. It is also possible to add a phrase which illuminates the practical aspect of the mystery being prayed. Being a private devotion, it is also possible, on one's own initiative, to recite it in the spirit of the current liturgical season. We will offer several possibilities as useful suggestions for a fruitful recitation. This little volume gives Scriptural meditations on the traditional mysteries, and offers meditations to honor the Liturgical seasons of the year. In addition, Saint John Eudes' own ideas for Rosary and Chaplet meditations are presented.
