About this title

Review

"Don't you share my problems with meditating on the mysteries of the life of Jesus and Mary? I lose my concentration easily. Sure, I start off fairly well at the beginning of each mystery; but before I realize it I've drifted off into thinking about some upcoming chore, such as my shopping list or some needed repairs at home. This book shows you how to read a quotation from Scripture before reciting each prayer of these four devotions. This method has enabled me to continually meditate on the specific mystery and still devoutly pray the intervening prayers. For me now, each prayer becomes the melody and the Bible verses the words to my spiritual song."

-- Lucas J. Amato, S.F.O.
