Antony Outhwaite recently let me know about a new book that he has published on the Rosary entitled, Rediscovering the Rosary. What interests me about this book is that what Antony has done is to actually apply the recommendations that John Paul the Great made in his Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae. Most realize that the Letter suggested adding the Luminous Mysteries and realigning the days of the week for which each of the mysteries are said. However, there was much more that he suggested.

John Paul wanted to refresh and enliven the spiritual fruits of the Rosary for the faithful by explaining more about it and suggesting ways to make praying the Rosary more meaningful and fruitful. His added recommendations included a Scripture reading for each decade, a mediation, an added clause for each Hail Mary which would center the prayer on Christ and His life, and a final prayer. This was done around seven different themes. Here is what I recommend: go look at the preview for the book to get a sense of what he is up to, then go read through JPTG’s Letter, then consider buying the book and putting into practice the advice of the Mystical Master we had for our previous pope.
