Rosary: Mysteries, Meditations, and the Telling of the Beads

by Kevin Orlin Johnson

From the Publisher
By the author of the best-selling Why Do Catholics Do That?, this book presents an encyclopedic range of answers to the most commonly asked questions about the Rosary and the other devotional practices to which it is related, such as: Exactly what is prayer, and how does it work? How does Judeo-Christian meditation differ from Oriental practices? Why are the beads so important? How does the Rosary relate to the Bible? Doesn't Mt 6:7 prohibit repetition of prayers? Why pray to Mary in the first place? What part does Mary play in Christian concepts of salvation? Why do modern apparitions of Mary always urge people to pray the Rosary? And many, many more. In addition, the book offers powerful examinations of those episodes in Christ's life-the "Mysteries"-that the Rosary targets as the subjects of meditation, including the Annunciation, the Nativity, the Resurrection, and twelve others. Having read Johnson's compelling account of the Crucifixion-the most intense to appear in living memory-you'll never see a crucifix in the same way again.
