The Most Holy Rosary: Volume I: Saint Dominic and the Mirror of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Throughout the ages, countless Popes have acclaimed the benefits of the Most Holy Rosary and have attributed its establishment to Saint Dominic de Guzmán. Nevertheless, this Pious Tradition has endured the ravages of history and centuries of attacks. Because the most ancient biographies of Saint Dominic's life do not explicitly mention the Rosary, many deny the veracity of the Pious Tradition. However, the meaning and purpose of the Rosary cannot be understood apart from its founder.Rather than argue this history, Michael Servis adopts the position of the Popes and from this premise, he plows a new path by conducting a thought experiment which asks: "What does Saint Dominic's historical biography look like in view of the Pious Tradition? Does the Rosary key unlock the mysteries surrounding his life?"In Book One of this volume, Michael Servis masterfully recounts Saint Dominic's life using creative nonfiction. He transforms the saint's biography into a dynamic narrative that places the Blessed Mother and her Rosary at its center. In so doing, he uncovers the Rosary's lost Tradition and rich meaning. In Book Two, he offers a comparative work that unearths the interconnectedness of Mariology, motives of Saint Dominic's character, and the essence of the Holy Rosary. Thus, he unveils the harmony of the saint and his mission, and the Blessed Mother and her Rosary.For lovers of the Blessed Mother, Saint Dominic, and the Rosary, this volume is a must-read. Read more
