The Holy Rosary Booklet

The Holy Rosary

Introduction
Based on the Apostolic Letter Rosary of the Virgin Mary by Saint John Paul II

A Treasury of Christian Prayers
Inspired by Events in the Lives of Jesus and Mary

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 St. John Paul II called in 2002-03 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 his Apostolic Letter, St. John Paul II explained 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 St. John Paul II.

Along with the introduction, The Holy Rosary 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.
