We used these reflections, and other writings of Mother Teresa, to create our new book, Adoring Jesus Through the Rosary: Eucharistic Reflections on the Rosary Based on the Writing of St. Mother Teresa.
Each and every morning Mother Teresa and her sisters spend two hours in prayer. One hour in Holy Mass, and the other adoring Jesus in the Eucharist. While in adoration, Mother Teressa directed each of her sisters to pray the Rosary.
Over the course of several years, Mother Teresa wrote down powerful reflections for each mystery of the Rosary. These reflections pull us into the great reality that through the Rosary we have a special opportunity to adore and contemplate the Eucharist.
For each Joyful Mystery, Mother Teresa asks us to contemplate the JOYS of adoring Jesus in the Eucharist. In the Sorrowful Mysteries Mother Teresa presents us with the WOUNDS that Jesus receives as the Eucharist. And, in the Glorious Mysteries, Mother Teresa explains the GLORY of Jesus fully present in the Eucharist. For each reflection, Mary is our model for adoring, rejoicing and comforting our Lord.
Striving to preserve the heart of Mother Teresa’s reflections, we simplified the text for families and added reflections for the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary, which explore the PRESENCE of Christ in the Holy Eucharist.
It is our hope that this new book will breathe new life into your devotion to the Rosary.
Although this book will enrich the prayer of each and every person, we created this book specifically for families. We had our illustrator create a beautiful, vibrant and detailed image of each mystery of the Rosary. We also printed the book with a spiral binding, so a parent can read the reflection while a child sitting opposite can contemplate the image.
Come, follow the lead of St. Mother Teresa and adore Jesus in the Eucharist through the Rosary!
