Overview

The Glorious Mysteries: Illuminated by Sixty Works of Sacred Art illustrates the glorious mysteries of the rosary in sixty works of sacred art, one for each bead, to help readers meditate on each mystery as they pray the rosary. Each two-page spread includes a work of art on one page, and the words of the appropriate prayer on the opposite page; a row of beads at the bottom of the page helps track progress through each decade. Each decade of the rosary opens with a beautiful Scripture-based introduction to one of the glorious mysteries (the Resurrection, the Ascension, the Descent of the Holy Spirit, the Assumption, and the Coronation) as well as suggested prayer intentions. The rhythm of The Glorious Mysteries makes it perfect for kids just learning to pray the rosary. Younger children can be taught to turn the page after each Our Father and Hail Mary, and older children can use the text on each page to help them lead the family rosary and memorize the prayers. Even adults will find in The Glorious Mysteries a fruitful way to pray the rosary more slowly and meditatively.

It's just ingenious and so simple! The most beautiful book, in which every page corresponds to one bead of the Rosary and showcases one work of sacred art upon which to meditate! It's the perfect First Communion gift. . . . (read full review) -Leila Miller, Little Catholic Bubble This book is absolutely beautiful! My kids love being able to keep up with the beads at the bottom and I love being able to meditate on the mysteries using the artwork to keep me focused. Please keep the wonderful books coming! -Emily Nielsen We used this book to say our rosary on the day of the March For Life, and the kids sat quiet and engrossed by the lovely artwork, a different painting for each bead of each mystery. Highly recommended. -Cat Hodge
