Inspiration and Meditation through Art and LiteraturePope Benedict XV's Encyclical on Dante "IN PRAECLARA SUMMORUM" (April 30, 1921) stated that "Among the many celebrated geniuses of whom the Catholic faith can boast who have left undying fruits in literature ... highest stands the name of Dante Alighieri..." [IPS, 1] Dante's Divine Comedy is organized on the basis of the number seven - the seven circles of Inferno; the seven terraces on the mountain of Purgatorio; and, the seven spheres of Paradiso. Three pictures from The Dore Illustrations for Dante's Divine Comedy are included for each of the Seven Visits. The first picture is from Purgatorio and reflects on the particular vice we wish to eliminate. The next two pictures from Paradiso are one artist's interpretation of the beatific vision - God's promise of eternal life. Pope Benedict XV further said that while the Divine Comedy "uses various symbolic images and records the lives of mortals on earth, it has for its true aim the glorification of the justice and providence of God who rules the world through time and all eternity and punishes and rewards the actions of individuals and human society." [IPS, 4] |

from the Author's Note in this prayer book Fifty years ago, the crew of Apollo 8 read from the Book of Genesis as they orbited the moon. Astronauts Bill Anders, Jim Lovell, and Frank Borman recited Genesis chapter 1, verses 1 through 10. They started with “In the beginning, God created…” and they concluded with “God bless all of you, all of you on the good Earth.” ... Like those astronauts some fifty years ago, who recited the words “In the beginning…,” we too know that the God who has no beginning, gave us the breath of life and formed our world out of nothing. ... In the 1990s, I wrote From Genesis to Revelation. This prayer book was a collection of seven scriptural rosaries based on selections from the entirety of Sacred Scriptures. ... A Scriptural Rosary simplifies, yet spiritually edifies, the meditation process of the praying of the Most Holy Rosary. A Scriptural Rosary is a conversation with God. ... Pope Saint John Paul II in his 2002 Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae recommended praying a new set of mysteries called the Luminous Mysteries. The Luminous Mysteries filled in the chronological gap from the Fifth Joyful Mystery with Jesus as a boy of twelve to the First Sorrowful Mystery when Jesus begins His Passion in the Garden of Gethsemane. ... ... Over the years, I have had many requests to update the Seven Scriptural Rosaries in From Genesis to Revelation with meditations for the Luminous Mysteries. 
First, in 2004, Psalter of Jesus and Mary A Scriptural Rosary
according to Psalms and Proverbs updated Book 4: The
Psalms in From Genesis to Revelation. ... To unveil the new Luminous Mysteries
in light of Scripture,
I selected meditations from the thirty-one Proverbs, the wise words of Solomon.
 Next, in 2009, Pearls of Peace
A Rosary Journey through the
Holy Land updated Book 6: SS Peter
and Paul in From Genesis to Revelation. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI
declared a Jubilee Year of St. Paul from June 2008 through June 2009.
I ... New St. Paul reflections were selected for the Luminous
Mysteries. Keeping with the theme of Jesus’ life on earth, this prayer book was
illustrated with photography from the Holy Land.
Now, in 2019, I focus on the theme of Creation and how
“In the beginning...” is a unifying theme to meditate on the entirety
of the Gospels as reflected in the mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary.

150 Hail Marys and 150 Psalms:
"EVER SINCE Saint Dominic established the devotion to the Holy Rosary up until the time when Blessed Alan de la Roche re-established it in 1460, it has always been called the Psalter of Jesus and Mary. This is because i
It has the same number of Angelic Salutations as there are Psalms in the Book
of the Psalms of David. Since simple and
uneducated people are not able to say the Psalms of David the Rosary
is held to be just as fruitful for them as David's Psalter is for others."
What is the Connection? from St. Louis de Montfort's SECRET of THE ROSARY SIXTH ROSE: MARY'S PSALTER
from the Author's Note in this prayer book
"For many centuries, the Most Holy Rosary consisted of fifteen decades
prayed in three groups of mysteries - the Joyful, the Sorrowful, and the Glorious.
St. Pope John Paul II recommended an additional set of mysteries, the Luminous. ...
For some, the addition of the Luminous Mysteries may
cause concern because of the departure from tradition ...
Rather we should be renewed and energized by the addition
of these new Luminous Mysteries, looking forward to a revitalization of
the praying of the Most Holy Rosary ...
This pocketsize book includes the Psalms Scriptural Rosary from
From Genesis to Revelation: Seven Scriptural Rosaries.
To unveil the new Luminous Mysteries in light of Scripture,
we selected meditations from the thirty-one Proverbs, the wise words of Solomon."
