The Holy Rosary: Prayers and the Litany of Loreto Explained (Catholic Faith Essentials Book 2)

The Holy Rosary book will help devotees to grow from a mechanical and monotonous recitation of the Rosary to a meditative reflection on the mysteries and the litany. It is not an exhaustive theological treatise, but it has included scriptural exegesis, Catholic doctrines, and Old Testament typology with substantial personal arguments. The book undertakes a critical study of the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary in order to help Catholics and Non-Catholics who are unfamiliar with the deep theological meaning buried in these invocations due to loss of original language and culture of the Bible. The devotion, deeply steeped in the sacred scriptures and the sacred tradition of the Church, will also help us grow in our relationship with the Mother of God and our Mother. You will find in this book a companion who accompanies you as you explore and deepen your Marian devotion.About the author: Fr Nilesh Parmar SJ is a Jesuit pastor who has been working among the tribals of Northeast India for the past 25 years.
