A treasury of Christian prayers inspired by the events in the lives of Jesus and Mary. Join the Holy Father's Rosary Revival with the new version of a classic booklet. Every Catholic familiar with the message of Our Lady of Fatima knows that the many Rosaries prayed by the faithful played a vital role in the bloodless and sudden collapse of communism not too many years ago. Now learn why Pope John Paul II had urgently called for "a revival of the Rosary" as a prayer for peace in our troubled world and for families in crisis today. In the introduction to this booklet, based on a recent Apostolic Letter, the Holy Father explains why the Rosary is one of our most powerful meditative prayers on the life of Christ. And in the Rosary, it is the Blessed Virgin Mary who leads us to reflect on the life of her Son as we pray each of the mysteries at her side. In effect, the Rosary becomes a "genuine school of prayer" for our "training in holiness." It becomes "a valuable pastoral resource for every good evangelizer" in "proclaiming Christ and facing new challenges," said the Holy Father. Along with the introduction, The Holy Rosary booklet includes the new Luminous Mysteries. It provides Bible passages, a prayer, and a fruit for each of the 20 mysteries of the Rosary. An Ideal resource for families, parishes, and prayer groups. In a new edition, recently released, this beautiful companion is for those who want to recite the Holy Rosary and special prayers to accompany the Rosary.
