The Romero Rosary - Praying the Mysteries of Faith with Our Lady and St Oscar Romero, by Bishop John Wilson

'This book contains reflections on the traditional mysteries of the rosary and the NEW Romero mysteries illumined for reflection and prayer by St Oscar's own words.

The main purpose of this book is twofold. First, to help us pray with, and to, Our Lady – with St Oscar – so that we might grow in our love and service of Christ and each other; and second, to draw us into friendship with St Oscar through familiarity with his words of preaching. The means to do this, as presented here, is through the rosary. Using the Scriptures and St Oscar’s words, we will explore the traditional mysteries of joy, light, sorrow, and glory. Then we will move on to consider what I have called the Romero mysteries of charity, of compassion and mercy, and of justice and peace. 'St Oscar Romero is a saint for our time, faithful to Christ and to the Church, and committed to the defence of human life and dignity. He calls us to love the Lord Jesus and Mary, his Mother, and to put our faith into practice. The rosary is a beautiful way to pray with him, united in spiritual friendship, asking for strength to live out our discipleship today.'
