St. John Paul II urged us to rediscover the Rosary in light of Scripture. When we do this well, the Mysteries come alive, the past is made present and their saving power is released. The Risen Lord appears for 40 days to reveal the triumph of God’s love over evil, to set their hearts on fire with his interpretation of the Scriptures, to make himself known in the breaking of the bread, and to breathe the Holy Spirit on the apostles - a spirit of pardon and peace.
