Summary

Swaim offers a unique approach to rosary devotion, exploring rosary mysteries as they appear within the eucharistic Mass. Scripture meditations-illuminated through the Joyful, Sorrowful, Luminous, and Glorious Mysteries of the rosary-are powerfully reaffirmed when connected to the sacrifice and celebration of the Lamb of God. All twenty mysteries of the rosary are considered, with each chapter offering suggestions to help deepen our awareness of Christ's love. Book jacket.
