The Mysteries of Light: The Bible and the New Luminous Mysteries Book

Roland J. Faley illumines Pope John Paul II's new Luminous Mysteries in the light of the Bible. Since each of the five new mysteries is directly connected to an actual event to the historical personage of Jesus Christ, Fr. Faley links both devotion the church's depository of faith (in the recitation of the Holy Rosary) and its Scriptural bases. This book, like the Pope's letter that announced these Mysteries in October 2002, is Christocentric, but through the lens and intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The Five Mysteries of Light:

1. The Baptism of Jesus
2. The Marriage at Cana
3. The Announcement of the Kingdom and the Call to Conversion
4. The Transfiguration
5. The Last Supper and the Eucharist
