Let There Be Light: Catholic for a Reason IV

Drawing on Blessed Pope John Paul II’s letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae, authors Leon and Maureen Suprenant begin this essay by sharing their experiences of the Rosary, and how this simple, time-honored prayer shaped their own childhoods and guided them eventually back to the faith of their youth. They focus on the Luminous Mysteries, and how these mysteries give us a beautiful opportunity for meditation on the public ministry of our Lord, which is so pertinent for families today. Wrapping things up, they discuss practical aspects of the Rosary, and show how it can be a powerful tool to unite families and provide an oasis of peace in the hectic days of family life.
