This little 64-page pocket-book
Rosary has been drawn and condensed from the “Gospel
Meditated
Rosary” – produced by the Maria Valtorta Readers’ Group in Australia.
It
contains 200 brief passages - between each of the Hail Maries of the
Joyful,
Luminous, Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries - from the writings of the
20th
century mystic Maria Valtorta.
Included is the following commendation from Bishop
Roman Danylak, formerly Canon of the Patriarchal Basilica of
Saint Mary Major in Rome, and now living in Toronto, Canada:
“8th April 2005 (interment date of Pope John Paul
II).
“I welcome and commend this new pocket-book
publication
of Rosary meditations, selected from the Gospels and from the writings
of Maria Valtorta, and dedicated to Mary, Queen of the Most Holy
Rosary,
and to the memory of our Holy Father Pope John Paul II.”
[On 30 November 1998, Bishop Danylak granted
his own Imprimatur for Maria Valtorta's spiritual writings in their
original
Italian, and in their English translations approved to that time by the
present publishers.]
SOME EARLY FEEDBACK
Ever so many thanks for this new Rosary booklet…
The design and choice of easily legible print is good for people trying
to pray in chapels and homes where lighting is not perfect. I
will
try to get the lady who buys books for our parish bookstall to order
some.
It will surely be a bestseller, and other parishes will in time hear
about
it. .Best wishes and thanks.
FR. TOM O'NEILL S.J., Singapore.
We found the "Praying the Rosary" booklet very
beautiful…
You may be interested to know that we are Protestants (Pentecostals)
who
have been immensely blessed by the treasures of Maria Valtorta's
writings…
May the Lord use Maria's writings to bring about the unity of all
Christians
which He so desires.
MARTIN KOSHY, WA, Australia.
It is a marvellous book for praying the
Rosary.
I see that the passages are abridged from the Readers' Group's "Gospel
Meditated Rosary." I think that this was done well, as this
format
will make it more regularly used.
FR. AL WINSHMAN, Boston MA, USA.
Thanks for the beautiful 'Praying the
Rosary'
booklet. It is indeed a pocket book but contains treasure. It is a
summary
of the summary of the Valtorta work! This book is so attractive and it
is a good tool to promote Valtorta books because it is easy to read
before
one is introduced to The Poem etc…
SR. CHRISTINE KABUMBU, Zambia.
(And lastly, from a Readers’ Group member in Arizona, USA:) Having really prayed it, I can tell you that I've never felt closer to Jesus and Mary.
