Pope St. John Paul II’s letter, Rosarium Virginis Mariae, revitalized the Rosary by confirming its role as a “compendium of the Gospel” and a prayer centered entirely on Jesus Christ. The letter’s major contribution was the addition of the five Luminous Mysteries (Mysteries of Light) to help us meditate on Christ’s public life and ministry. JPII taught that the Rosary is how we “contemplate with Mary the face of Christ,” making it a perfect tool for growing in holiness and a necessary prayer for peace and the family in the modern world.

Pope Benedict XVI strongly affirmed that the Rosary is a powerful, enduring prayer experiencing a “new springtime,” serving as an essential school of contemplation and inner silence. He stressed that this prayer is fundamentally Christocentric, a means by which the Blessed Mother leads us to gaze upon the face of Jesus in His mysteries. By authentically and profoundly reciting the Rosary, we allow the cadence of the prayers to foster a receptive silence, leading us toward peace, reconciliation, and greater conformity to Christ.

The following webinars were offered as part of our Catechist Formation Webinar Series.  Each topic below is connected specifically with our Via Fidelis journey.  These training sessions may be helpful both for individual study and for study as a group.  It can be especially helpful for a parish evangelization team or ministry leadership team to examine some of these topics together as a group.

Starting a small group to study, pray or to share faith is a great way to create a space to share the Gospel, as well as to discuss our common mission to go out and make disciples.
