Rosary Markings

  Year of the Rosary, October 2002 - October 2003

Knowing and Loving the Rosary


The Rosary Year is a time to deepen our knowledge about the rosary in order to increase our love for this age-old prayer and summary of our faith.  Rosary Markings of this week offers a bibliography on the rosary to help our readers on their journey to rediscover or deepen their understanding and love of the rosary.  The following list includes most recent publications on the rosary, but also classics such as R. Guardini's writing on the rosary and Ward's "Five for Sorrow, Ten for Joy."  You will find in the same list papal pronouncements and meditations on the rosary from Leo XIII to John Paul II.  Some of the publications will help different groups of people to make good use of this form of prayer.  In turn, this bibliography offers evidence on a wide variety of topics, from the history about the rosary to meditations with the rosary.  The books are presented in alphabetical order according to authors.  Not all of these publications are of equal value.  We trust the reader's sense of faith.
