The Patristic Rosary Project
In October 2006 I decided to look at the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary in a slightly different way. I searched out some passages from the Fathers of the Church which had something to do with the different mysteries of the Rosary. Here are some links to the 20 different entries I came up with.
Joyful Mysteries
The Annunciation
The Visitation
The Nativity
The Presentation
The Finding in the Temple
Luminous Mysteries
The Baptism of Jesus by John
The Wedding at Cana
Proclamation of the Kingdom
The Transfiguration
Institution of the Eucharist
Sorrowful Mysteries
The Agony in the Garden
The Scourging
The Crowning With Thorns
The Carrying of the Cross
The Crucifixion
Glorious Mysteries
The Resurrection
The Ascension
Descent of the Holy Spirit
The Assumption
The Coronation of Our Lady





























Father, have you thought of putting these together as a book?

Comment by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf — 28 November 2006 @ 1:13 pmThank you, Father. I’ll be using these with my homeschooling group.
Comment by Argent — 28 November 2006 @ 1:49 pmI agree with Father Peter. Father, you should consider putting these together
Comment by Cathy_of_Alex — 28 November 2006 @ 2:59 pmin a booklet. I think it’s unfortunate that people who don’t have Web
access have been denied this excellent series.
I figure if I am busy everyone must be that way. St. Benedict says that Idleness is the enemy of the soul. I would not want that to happen.
Comment by Fr Peter — 28 November 2006 @ 3:13 pmThank you so much providing this Father. I will link to this post in my sidebar!
Comment by Diane — 28 November 2006 @ 5:33 pmFr. Peter: Thanks for looking out for me!
Comment by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf — 28 November 2006 @ 7:11 pmI think it would be good if you put a permanent link to them, either each 20 singly, or a group page, in your left-hand column.
