Have you ever been asked why Catholics pray the rosary? Maybe you have been challenged with the charge that "Jesus condemned repetitious prayer and therefore the rosary is anti-Scriptural". Well in this awesome new audio tape series, "The Rosary in Scripture and the New Luminous Mysteries", Dr. Edward Sri takes you on a journey through the Scriptures and shows how the Rosary is actually a very Scriptural prayer. He begins by debunking the claims that repetitious prayer was condemned by Jesus and puts Jesus' comments in context with the practices of His time. Moving into the rosary itself, Ted unpacks the prayers and structure of the rosary, beginning with the words of the angel Gabriel as the origin of the "Hail Mary" and how Christ Himself give us the "Our Father". Drawing heavily from Scripture and the latest document by our Holy Father Pope John Paul II, Dr. Sri presents an inspiring reflection on the new Luminous Mysteries introduced this year by the Holy Father and explains the intense meaning of these 5 new mysteries in the praying of the rosary. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dr. Edward (Ted) Sri is Assistant Professor of Theology at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas.
