A spiritual writer and former missioner offers beautiful meditations on those eternal mysteries lived in contemporary flesh and blood. Therese Rhodes recounts a series of stories that reflect the way in which the events of Mary and Jesus’ lives intersect our own experience, focus our prayers, and renew our hearts. Each story flows from the themes of one of the mysteries of the rosary and represents moments in life that lead us to reach for God. Each story is its own meditation on a mystery and is as such, a point of entry int9o the entire story of God’s loving revelation.
Teresa Rhodes worked as a lay missioner in Peru, as Director of the Transforming Trauma initiative at the Garrison Institute, and as the first lay Director of Society Member Services for the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers. Her other books include Transforming Trauma, The Comforter: Stories of Loss and Rebirth, and Jim’s Last Summer: Lessons on Living from a Dying Priest.
If you think the Mysteries of the Rosary are removed from everyday life, think again! Teresa Rhode’s touching meditations intimately connect and relate the sorrow and joy in the lives of Jesus and Mary with the tears and laughter of contemporary life. An ancient devotion is reborn in this book.
