Synopsis

What if the Rosary could teach you how to pray?

Many Catholics know the prayers of the Rosary. They can recite the Our Father, the Hail Mary, and the Glory Be. Yet knowing the words of a prayer is not necessarily the same thing as learning how to pray.

Learning to Pray the Rosary approaches this beloved Catholic devotion from a different direction.

Rather than treating the Rosary simply as a sequence of prayers to be recited, Doug Sumowski explores how the Rosary can become a school of prayer—teaching us how to turn our attention toward God, meditate on the mysteries of Christ, and enter more deeply into a life of prayer.

Through Scripture, Catholic teaching, and reflection on the mysteries of the Rosary, this book explores questions such as:

• Why should Catholics pray the Rosary?
• What place does Mary have in Christian prayer?
• What can the structure of the Rosary teach us about prayer itself?
• How can the mysteries lead us into deeper meditation on the life of Christ?
• How can the Rosary help transform prayer from words we say into a relationship we live?

Whether you are beginning to pray the Rosary, returning to it after years away, or already pray it regularly but desire something deeper, this book invites you to discover what is hidden beneath its familiar words.

The Rosary is more than a devotion to complete.

It is an invitation to contemplate Christ.

It is a way of learning to pray.

And when we learn to pray more deeply, we begin to see our relationship with God—and our entire spiritual life—differently.

Don't simply learn how to say the Rosary. Let the Rosary teach you how to pray.
