The Holy Rosary Through The Visions Of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich edited by Father Mark Higgins

Paperback: The German Mystic born in the latter part of the Eighteenth Century, Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, was privileged by Almighty God with sensory visions disclosing the earthly life of God Incarnate, of His Holy Mother, the Virgin Mary and of the progression of salvation history from Genesis to the Apocalypse.

In this short book, the reader will find a carefully collated set of rosary meditations faithfully drawn from the texts of these visions. Meditations taken directly from our saint’s writings are provided for every bead of the rosary, allowing you to ponder at greater depth the secrets revealed to Blessed Anne Catherine and enable you to truly immerse yourself in the marvellous historical events which occurred in the life of Our Divine Redeemer and His Holy Mother.

This work is a work of prayer and was revised multiple times in order to offer golden nuggets of contemplative material in every bead of Our Lady’s Psalter.

For the benefit of the reader, meditations have also been offered, once again, drawn entirely from Our Saint’s writings, for the Mysteries of Light, which are popular among many Catholics, as well as five additional mysteries, entitled “the Hopeful Mysteries”, which cover events in Salvation History and in the life of Our Blessed Mother prior to the Incarnation.

Blessed Anne offers a wealth of detail for each of these mysteries and these details have been collated for you in The Holy Rosary (Catholic Way Publishing, 2019).

The Holy Rosary is compiled and edited by Father Mark Higgins and translated from the German by The Very Reverend K E Schmoger, CSSR.

About the author: Anne Catherine Emmerich was born to poor parents at Westphalia, Germany in 1774. When she was twenty-eight years old, she became an Augustinian nun at Dulmen, and apparently began to experience ecstasies as a result of spiritual favours. She received the Stigmata in 1813, confined to her bed, and reportedly convinced a vicar-general, Overberg, and three physicians of her sanctity. She later reported that she had seen visions of Christ and the souls in purgatory as a child, as well as a circular core with three sections representing the Trinity. She is the author of The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Life of Jesus Christ and Biblical Revelations, and The Bitter Passion and the Life of Mary.

Anne Emmerich died on 9 February 1824 and was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2004.
