Telling the Rosary

Through the passing of the beads of the Rosary through our fingers, we cross over two thousand years of history to connect with the story of Christ, as it is told by his mother Mary. At one and the same time a treasured part of Catholic tradition and a vital means of telling the story of Christ in the contemporary world, the telling of the Rosary is a distinctly Catholic practice that helps us step into the mystery of Christ. In Telling the Rosary, Vincent Sherlock provides a bead-by-bead guide to the Rosary, taking us through the joyful, luminous - added by Pope St John Paul II - sorrowful, and glorious mysteries, grounding them in Scripture and explaining their significance. With a prayer guide tailored to each mystery, Telling the Rosary is a book that renews a living Catholic tradition.
