Meditations on the Mysteries of the Rosary with John Paul II. With his apostolic letter--The Rosary of the Virgin Mary--John Paul II gives to the whole church his deep insight on the prayer of the Rosary and introduces a new set of 5 mysteries-The 'Mysteries of Light'-to be added to the traditional pattern of the 15 mysteries of the Rosary. This publication includes a selection of thoughts by John Paul II collected from the whole apostolic letter and gathered under the appropriate heading of each mystery. The new pattern suggested by the Holy Father indicates also the distribution of the mysteries during the week. The Holy Father himself gives us guidelines on how to pray the Rosary. Each Mystery is accompanied by beautiful colored icons and related biblical passages.
