Though simple and effective, the rosary provides much more than a means of rote and mechanistic prayer. It is instead a way of walking with Mary and her son Jesus through his birth, death, and Resurrection. Joy of the Rosary offers insights to help readers pray the Rosary more meaningfully, more devotedly, and more effectively. It includes: A brief history of the origins of the rosary; How Our Lady's Psalter was transformed into the rosary we know today; Suggestions for times and places to pray the rosary; Full text of all the prayers included in the rosary; Meditations and prayers for each of the fifteen mysteries; Exquisite wood engravings by the renowned 20th century artist David Jones that complement each meditation; Scriptural references for each of the mysteries. This delightful and illuminating book offers an invitation to a renewed appreciation of the rosary. Anne Vail is the author of The Story of the Rosary. David Jones is an extraordinarily talented poet and painter. A convert to Catholicism, he is recognized as one of the most gifted and sensitive British watercolorists of the 20th century. Caryll Houselander is a modern English mystic who writes on spirituality. She is best known for her books The Reed of God and A Rocking-Horse Catholic.

The Way of the Cross

In the English-speaking world, the Catholic Literary Revival is typically associated with the work of G. K. Chesterton/Hilaire Belloc, Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene. But in fact the Revival's most numerous members were women. While some of these women remain well knownMuriel Spark, Antonia White, Flannery O'Connor, Dorothy Day - many have been almost entirely forgotten. They include: Enid Dinnis, Anna Hanson Dorsey, Alice Thomas Ellis, Eleanor Farjeon, Rumer Godden, Caroline Gordon, Clotilde Graves, Caryll Houselander, Sheila Kaye-Smith, Jane Lane, Marie Belloc Lowndes, Alice Meynell, Kathleen Raine, Pearl Mary Teresa Richards, Edith Sitwell, Gladys Bronwyn Stern, Josephine Ward, and Maisie Ward.\nThere are various reasons why each of these writers fell out of print: changes in the commercial publishing world after World War II, changes within the Church itself and in the English-speaking universities that redefined the literary canon in the last decades of the 20th century. Yet it remains puzzling that a body of writing so creative, so attuned to its historical moment, and so unique in its perspective on the human condition, should have fallen into obscurity for so long.\nThe Catholic Women Writers series brings together the English-language prose works of Catholic women from the 19th and 20th centuries; work that is of interest to a broad range of readers. Each volume is printed with an accessible but scholarly introduction by theologians and literary specialists.\nThe first volume in the series is Caryll Houselander's The Dry Wood. Houselander is known primarily for her spiritual writings but she also wrote one novel, set in a post-war London Docklands parish. There a motley group of lost souls are mourning the death of their saintly priest and hoping for the miraculous healing of a vulnerable child whose gentleness in the face of suffering brings conversion to them all in surprising and unexpected ways. The Dry Wood offers a vital contribution to the modern literary canon and a profound meditation on the purpose of human suffering.

The author, whose work is rooted in her humanexperience and mystical contemplation, meditateson Mary, the reed through whom the music of Godbecame flesh in Jesus Christ. She inspires us tobecome instruments as well.'Houselander's portrait of Mary rings with echoesof the biblical text'.She lays out for ourcontemplation not a woman of privilege, but awoman of grace so committed to Christ and hisplan for redemption that her every thought andaction is oriented to her son.'?From the Foreword?Caryll Houselander profoundly influenced myspirituality. Her practical, earthy approachrefreshes my sense of the Holy and encourages meto seek the divine presence in what is mostordinary.'?Joyce Rupp, author of Praying Our Goodbyes
