Summary: Expand and Personalize the Traditional Mysteries
Review: Brother Philip Armstrong offers some simple suggestions on how we might vary the mysteries of the rosary and expand them to include more of scripture and more from our own experience. He cites his own rosary prayers inspired by the African culture in Ghana and praying over the lives of those buried in the Holy Cross cemetery. His basis for expanding the conventional mysteries is the Pope's recent addition of the luminous mysteries. This work is filled with ideas and examples of possibilities for fashioning mysteries that are personally significant and spiritually enriching. This would be an excellent source book for faith-sharing groups.
