The Rosary has enjoyed renewed popularity since Pope John Paul II added a new mystery to the Rosary in 2002, the first such addition since Catholics began praying the Rosary in 1569. The new Luminous Mysteries join the three traditional Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries.Now Br. Armstrong encourages us to tap our imaginations, aided by inspiration, to create additional, personal mysteries as well. He suggests that the catalyst for these new, personal mysteries can be diverse elements, such as our own vocation, scripture, memories from our youth, and The Golden Rule.
