The Luminous Mysteries
New Light In A Time Of Darkness - CD
Item Number: 7778
In October 2002, in the midst of scandal and uncertainty, Pope John Paul II celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of his extraordinary pontificate by proclaiming a "Year of the Rosary", issuing an apostolic letter on the topic, and to the surprise of the world, introducing five new mysteries to the Most Holy Rosary. Why would the ageing pontiff make such a sudden addition to such a venerable practice? What is it about this particular moment in history that would inspire such a dramatic response on the part of the Pope?
Now in the timely new series, The Luminous Mysteries: New Light in a Time of Darkness, St. Joseph Communications has combined three powerful presentations from celebrated clergy designed to quiet the qualms and cut through the controversy by providing a window into the mind of the Church on this most beloved of Catholic devotions.
You'll discover important new insights into the Holy Father's expansion of the Rosary as EWTN personality Fr. Mitch Pacwa S.J. reveals the heart of John Paul II's apostolic letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae. Much more than just the proposal of hte new mysteries, the papal epistle emerges as a profound meditation on both the theory and the practice of praying the Rosary. In "Revival of hte Rosary" Fr. Bill Casey, Superior General of the Fathers of Mercy, reads the "signs of the times" to unpack the reason why it's crucial that you respond to the Holy Father's urgent plea for Catholics to "confidently take up the Rosary once again."
As a special bonus, you'll renew your love for the beauty and majesty of this traditional Marian devotion in a newly remastered talk by Archbishop Fulton Sheen. This classic presentation features a fascinating history of the Rosary and includes the beloved prelate's moving recital of "Lovely Lady Dressed in Blue."
