Perpetual Angelus: As the Saints Pray the Rosary

Meditating on the prayer that models cooperation with God’s plan for salvation will foster transformations of grace in our own lives. After studying the writings of Saint Benedict, Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, Saint Francis of Assisi, and Saint Dominic, Father Cessario offers us the fruits of his meditation, providing penetrating insight into the twenty mysteries of the Rosary. Illustrated with over 25 engravings, Perpetual Angelus will strengthen your relationship with our Blessed Mother and enhance your experience of praying her Rosary.

To pray the rosary means to live the mystery of Christ along with his mother, the Virgin Mary. Such a bold undertaking in faith requires the assistance of experts. So we turn to the saints, who form part of the communion of the Church. The lives of the saints especially manifest the fruit of Christian conversion and at the same time illustrate the variety of ways that men and women can follow the path that Christ has trod in the world. Their words and example can lead us halfway, so to speak, to the mystery of Christ.
