Meditations on the Rosary, including the new Luminous Mysteries. In the Fall of 2002 the Catholic world, and even the secular media, all expressed a delighted surprise and enthusiam when Pope John Paul II announced he was introducing five new mysteries of the rosary. These new "Luminous Mysteries" have inspired Fr. Benedict Groeschel to write this new book of profound meditations on the mysteries of the rosary. Speaking from personal experience as well as from the grand traditions of the Church, Fr. Groeschel takes us on a spiritual journey that will move the reader to greater depths of faith. Accompanied by the full text of Pope John Paul II's Apostolic Letter on the rosary, Rosarium Virginis Mariae, this book is a jewel of spiritual insight that will continue to inspire for years to come.
