The Holy Rosary 978-0-89942-284-8
One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Father Lovasik, S.V.D., provides children with simple overview of The Holy Rosary is a special prayer that helps us think about the important moments in the lives of Jesus and His mother, Mary. It's like walking through a story of Jesus's life with Mary by our side, showing us how much God loves us. When we pray the Rosary, we use a string of beads to keep track of our prayers, so we can focus on each part of the story without losing our place.The Rosary has five main parts called Mysteries, and each Mystery represents an important event. There are four groups of Mysteries: the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Luminous Mysteries. Each one reminds us of something special, like when Jesus was born (the Joyful Mysteries) or when He rose from the dead (the Glorious Mysteries).
We start the Rosary with the Sign of the Cross and the Apostles' Creed, then say the Our Father (a prayer Jesus taught us), ten Hail Mary's (a prayer asking Mary to pray for us), and a Glory Be to praise God. This group of prayers is called a decade, and each Mystery has five decades.
Praying the Rosary helps us feel close to Jesus and Mary. When we think about the Mysteries, we learn how Jesus lived, loved, suffered, and rose again, all to save us. Mary, who always said yes to God, teaches us how to be faithful, loving, and kind.
The Rosary is powerful and calming, helping us to trust God and ask Mary to pray for us. Even though it may take time to learn, the Rosary is a beautiful way to grow closer to Jesus and Mary, making it a wonderful prayer to say anytime, especially with family. Among the features of this book are:
