The new luminous mysteries of the Rosary, which focus on important events of Jesus' ministry of teaching and healing, have as their purpose, writes Pope John Paul II in his Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae, "...to enkindle renewed interest in the Rosary's place within Christian spirituality as a true doorway to the depths of the Heart of Christ, ocean of joy and of light, of suffering and of glory."Here is collection of scriptural meditations on the Mysteries of Light, actually a form of lectio divina, that is meant to deepen and intensify the experience of praying the Rosary. Enhanced by expressive line art, this little book will be a welcome addition to anyone's spiritual library.Appendix 1: How to Pray the RosaryAppendix II: From Pope John Paul II's Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis MariaeThe Five Mysteries of Light:1.
