Description
The Rosary in Action is written by a layman expressly for lay people, but it has a message for all who seek a deeper appreciation of Mary's favorite prayer. The title explains the purpose of the book: to reveal the vital role that the Rosary can and should play in the spiritual progress of Lady Mary's children who are immersed in the feverish activity of contemporary life.
John Johnson has a deep Catholic sense which led him many years ago to discover in the Rosary the solution of his own spiritual problems. "There is none who considereth in the heart." The prophet's criticism opened the author's eyes to the cause of his spiritual stagnation; he realized the necessity of spiritual thinking, of meditation. he found the means - adapted to his active life - ready at hand in the Rosary. The essential feature of the Rosary is not the mere telling of the beads but meditation, as the Blessed Mother has reminded us in her Fatima appearance.
The prospect of meditation frightens many not schooled in the formal prayer of priests and religious. Mr. Johnson, from personal experience, explains that meditation is within the reach of all, even of those who consider themselves too busy for prayer. He shares the secret of his own method of mediation, and explains with charming simplicity, yet with strict theological exactness, the power, the beauty, the wealth of Mary's prayer.
All who with to understand and receive the benefits of the Rosary will be happy that the author has been willing to share his experiences.
