Joy Of The Rosary eBook

Though simple and effective, the rosary provides much more than a means of rote and mechanistic prayer. It is instead a way of walking with Mary and her son Jesus through his birth, death, and Resurrection.

It includes: A brief history of the origins of the rosary; How Our Lady's Psalter was transformed into the rosary we know today; Suggestions for times and places to pray the rosary; Full text of all the prayers included in the rosary; Meditations and prayers for each of the fifteen mysteries; Exquisite wood engravings by the renowned 20th century artist David Jones that complement each meditation; Scriptural references for each of the mysteries.
