Praying the rosary is near and dear to many Catholics, but most don’t realize all of the changes that Pope John Paul II beneficial within the rosary.
In
The Complete Rosary, eminent liturgist William G. Storey presents the whole scope of the Pope’s reforms. They include a “focal point” scripture text for every mystery, the five new “luminous” mysteries, short “scripture tags” for every Hail Mary, closing prayers, and images. The purpose of this material is to make the praying of the rosary a wealthy, contemplative experience quite than a mechanical recitation of rote prayers. Also included on this book is a history of this great devotion.
