Description: Following his desire to make the rosary more fully reflect the life of Christ, Pope John Paul II has proposed the addition of five mysteries to the Rosary. Called "mysteries of light," these "luminous mysteries" consider Christ's public ministry from the time of his baptism to his passion. The "mysteries of light" serve to remind us of the events in which the miracle of our salvation was revealed by the light of Christ. The Rosary of Pope John Paul II explains the development of the "mysteries of light" and includes a prayer guide for all twenty mysteries in the rosary. Those who cherish the rosary as a special prayer, as well as those who would like an introduction to this time-honored prayer tradition, will find inspiration and spiritual joy in The Rosary of Pope John Paul II. 32 pages. $4.95
