Witnesses to the Mysteries: A Rosary Meditation for All Ages

Witnesses to the Mysteries will help you pray the Rosary as you never have before. Reflect on each of the twenty Mysteries through the perspective of someone who was there. The author presents fictionalized, first-person stories from witnesses—both imagined contemporaries of Jesus and Mary and figures we know from Scripture. You will feel the breadth of emotions: Leah, Mary's close friend at the time of the Annunciation; Hannah, a teenage girl helping her mother at the Wedding at Cana; and Simon of Cyrene, compelled to carry Jesus' cross. What was it like for them? What would it have been like for you? For answers—and for a richer prayer experience—pick up your Rosary and start reading. --- "Jeanne's imaginative and faith-filled stories will warm your heart, engage your mind in prayerful reflection, and inspire you to love God and neighbor, just as Jeanne so faithfully did." Jem Sullivan, PhD. Educator and author "If you have ever found your mind wandering, not fully living the reality of the mystery up for contemplation as you pray the Rosary (and who of us has not?), this book is for you." Fr. D. Paul Sullins, PhD. Professor of Sociology (Retired),The Catholic University of America "Having had the privilege of praying the Rosary many times with the author and others in a small prayer group, I can promise a unique and holy experience to anyone—young or old—who prays with these meditations."
