Meditating on the Mysteries

Description

The Rosary has been a favourite prayer for generations, taught to little children and a source of strength and consolation throughout life. Fr Michel de Verteuil, author of the bestselling Your Word is a Light for my Steps (Veritas, 1996) brings the method of Lectio devena propounded there to these meditations, linking each one to a passage from scripture.

Through meditations on the fifteen mysteries we enter into their sacred stories, allowing them to carry us into a deeper, richer life here on earth, with the promise of fulfillment in heaven. The scripture extracts proposed are just one possibility , other passages may also be read in conjunction with the meditations, while the extracts from the spiritual writings though the centuries provide a link with the wisdom of humanity.
