The Jubilee Rosary Book : Holy Year 2025 was the culmination of nine years of dedicated daily prayer, reflection and striving for perfection in my way of praying the Rosary. Yet, this volume is not merely a collection of prayers and images – it is
a multifaceted response born of that nine-year endeavor which transformed my own spiritual journey, starting with the question:
How do I pray the Rosary?
Our journey finds its roots in history and holy tradition, “the Christian tradition comprises three major expressions of the life of prayer: vocal, meditation, and contemplative. (CCC 2721). In joyful Mysteries ( Luk 2:29–32), the Scripture tells us,
that Christ is the “a light to the revelation of the Gentiles” and “my eyes have seen thy salvation”. According to tradition, the Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Dominic, in 1214, urging him to pray and teach her Psalter, composed of 150 Hail Mary, as a tool for the salvation of souls. It was given as a powerful spiritual weapon to combat the heresies that threatened the Faith in Spain and France. “Hence, there exists a close connection and communication between sacred tradition and Sacred Scripture”(Dei Verbum, #9, 1965) This historical legacy is a reminder of the Rosary’s potency – not only as a means of defense but also as an offensive instrument, a way to fortify the soul and launch a spiritual counter-attack against the forces that seek to diminish the light of Christ.
Our Jubilee Rosary, focuses on the sacred tradition and the 150 Hail Mary and do not include the meditations of the public life of Jesus, introduced by Pope John Paul II in October 2002. This meditation disrupts the relationship between the Rosary and the breviary Psalms, and the Pope himself writes about in 2002, that his new version is ‘left to the freedom of individuals.’ Our version does exist as it is popular, but in a stand-alone version.
This Rosary book is not merely a guide; it is a testament to the enduring power of prayer. It was born out of personal trials, character assassination, betrayal and moments of deep isolation, and it is the ultimate triumph over darkness; it is precisely in these moments the Rosary, with its divine mysteries and sacred art, is our refuge and our strength, as “genuine sacred art draws man to adoration, to prayer, and to the love of God, Creator and Savior, the Holy One and Sanctifier.” (CCC 2502). It is crafted by family members, for the family, and for families.
