Parish Priest publishes book on Jesus Prayer
Father Michael Cleary SVD, Parish Priest of the famous Bristol
city-centre church, St Mary-on-the-Quay, has just had his book
'The Jesus Prayer Rosary' published.
'The Jesus Prayer Rosary' is made up of four sets of meditations that focus on the infancy narratives in Matthew and Luke, Gospel scenes from the ministry of Jesus and from his passion and death. Finally, there are readings from the New Testament that give us insight into our experience of Jesus as the Risen One who gradually transforms our lives. Each meditation concludes with a prayer, usually taken from the liturgy. Biblical canticles, such as the Magnificat, are provided to bring the rosary to its conclusion. The 'Jesus Prayer', with its background in the Eastern Church and now regularly used by Christians of whatever tradition, is the rosary's leitmotiv and has given it its name. A complete resource for praying privately or in groups, it is hoped that this will be a readily available "Rosary for all Christians". 'The Jesus Prayer Rosary' (ISBN 978-1853118111) is published by Canterbury Press and available at all good booksellers, including Amazon.
