The incidents in the life of Christ reflected in the Mysteries of the Rosary summarize the story of our redemption. They are all derived either directly or indirectly from Sacred Scripture. All but the last two come straight from the inspired word, whereas the Assumption and the Coronation of the Blessed Virgin are prophetically veiled in Scripture and subsequently elaborated in authoritative Sacred Tradition which reflects the contemplative and Spirit-guided mind of the Church. In fact, the Mysteries of the Rosary embody in small compass so much of the meaning of God’s word that they almost constitute a summary of revelation. This book about the Mysteries of the Rosary is scriptural, Christ-centered and Marian. Its subject is the connection between the Mysteries of the Rosary and the rest of Scripture, and between the Rosary and some of those elements in our culture that plead most insistently for a remedy from the Mother of God. Its goal is to encourage devotion to the Blessed Virgin and to bring her bountiful influence to bear on the many problems of the world we in which we live. The lovely illustrations by Serge Nouailhat of the French Communaute des Beatitudes enhance the beauty of the thoughtful reflections contained in this work.
