Description
MYSTERY is a collected study book for you or your group.
It contains four different studies on each mystery of the Rosary by four different authors.
Each study on the mysteries of the Rosary has five sessions or chapters inside it. They’re designed so that each session would be one meeting of your group. This collected study book has twenty sessions total!
The mysteries of the Rosary are: Sorrowful, Glorious, Luminous, and Joyful as revealed to Saint Dominic and Pope Saint John Paul II.
What does a single session look like?
Let’s take the Visitation, the second Joyful Mystery. It would be comprised of:
+ Scripture passage where the mystery is derived from;
+ a 200-300 word reflection by the author;
+ questions for reflection; and
+ questions for discussion.
What’s in a reflection?
We examine our lives mirrored in Mary’s as we ponder a different layer of our relationships in each of the five Mysteries by focusing on vocation, community, home, God, and family.
Who’s it for?
You, two girlfriends, or two hundred ladies ages 18+! The format is perfect for community groups of any size. You can read aloud a chapter together as a group, discuss the questions, read it ahead of time and journal about it, or ponder the Scripture verses using lectio divina.

Our Theological Editor, Susanna Spencer, MA Theology, checks every one of our written products. She references and cross-references and makes sure we are completely in line with Church teaching on the topic. These materials were submitted for the imprimatur but were deemed “reflections” and not “teachings.” We feel confident that they are rock-solid theologically.
Nihil Obstat from Rev. Father Eugene Mary of the Trinity, Erem. Dio., S.T.L

We started the Joyful Mystery Section of the Study last night. It turned out so beautifully! It was a small group study. Our review is based on the first night’s study only, but so far, it has made me look forward to the next one! I especially loved how the writer was able to pull out the word, “troubled” in relation to Mary’s “yes”. That brought on whole new way of looking at that moment in her life and that mystery of the Rosary. Beautifully done!

This study on the Rosary is super amazing! It helps me to reflect and pray the rosary everyday! This study helped me to fall more in love with Jesus and with His/our mother. It helped me to get to know her more and build a relationship with our Blessed Mother!

I bought this workbook, loved it and completed it. Then I bought it again just so I could start from the beginning to learn more about the rosary and my relationship to it. This study is that fabulous.
