Rosary Aides

You know that in an Apostolic Letter in 2002, Pope John Paul II added five Luminous Mysteries. Did you know that in that same Letter he also called for a new way of praying the Rosary?

St. John Paul II's new way of praying the Rosary was based on the teachings of St. Theresa of Avila and has become known as the Contemplative Rosary because it more perfectly unites vocal prayer and meditation, transforming the prayers of the Rosary into a contemplative meeting with God.

This beautiful purse- or pocket-sized My Pocket Rosary features a flexible, illustrated cover and reverent, full-color illustrations. My Pocket Rosary, by Rev. J. M. Lelen, Ph.D., is a handy companion for the popular devotion to Our Lady. My Pocket Rosary is perfectly suited for both those who already recite the Rosary and those who wish to learn more about this wonderful devotion. Available individually, the conveniently-sized 72-page booklets also may be purchased in sets of 80 with a free display box for parish and group use.

This glorious work will help you to pray the Rosary more deeply with Fr Lawrence Lew's stunning photographs of sacred art, which in turn inspire his rich contemplations of each of the 20 Mysteries of the Rosary. The profound words and beautiful images in this book make the 20 Mysteries that we contemplate on the life, death and resurrection of Christ more vivid and real.

This combination of scriptural meditations and lovely art will help all - those who pray the Rosary faithfully and those who struggle with the devotion - to pray with deeper reverence and understanding.

This new, expanded version of the tremendously popular Pray the Rosary by Catholic Book Publishing offers the traditional shorter devotion as well as a longer devotion which includes Scriptural texts. This extended edition of Pray the Rosary is designed to provide a greater context for praying the Mysteries of the Blessed Mother and Jesus, her Son. The additional text, which can also be used as alternative text, enhances the celebration of the Rosary by focusing more deeply on the Mysteries. This 112-page Pray the Rosary has an illustrated, flexible cover and is available individually or in sets of 60 with a free display box for parish and group use.

"These words express, so to speak, the wonder of heaven and earth; they could be said to give a glimpse of God's own wonderment as he contemplates his 'masterpiece'--the Incarnation of the Son in the womb of the Virgin Mary." --Saint John Paul II
