The Rosary, often called “the Gospel in miniature,” is both explained and meditated upon by Rev. John Phalen, C.S.C., president of Holy Cross Family Ministries and one of today’s leading Rosary evangelists.

As president of Holy Cross Family Ministries—the organization founded by Patrick Peyton, the “Rosary Priest”—Rev. John Phalen, C.S.C., has traveled the world, giving retreats and workshops on the Rosary to thousands. A perfect resource for RCIA leaders, catechists, and parish ministers, Living the Rosary: Finding Your Life in the Mysteries situates each of the twenty “mysteries” of the life of Jesus within both biblical and modern stories of conversion and spiritual growth. Beginning with his own vocation story (an example of “annunciation”), Phalen offers twenty different stories—some scriptural, some personal, all of them practical—that will help readers better understand and live each mystery of the Rosary. An explanation of how to pray the Rosary is included.
