The Litany of Loreto Rosary: Scriptural Meditations on the Rosary based on the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary, written by Supertradmum
Each decade is divided into three meditations, which are a prayer, a scripture reading and the specific name of the Blessed Virgin Mary.These meditations are interpreted in light of the mystery of that decade. The names of the Blessed Virgin Mary are presented in the order of the Litany of Loreto. For example, the First Joyful Mystery is divided as follows: prayer, scripture, "Holy Mary" name, prayer, scripture, "Mother of God", prayer, scripture, "Virgin of Virgins" and so on. Thus, every decade contains four prayers, three scripture passages and three names honoring the Virgin. One is encouraged to think of the names of Mary at leisure, allowing insight to come through the meditations from the Holy Spirit.
The Litany of the Blessed Virgin is one of the oldest and most loved prayers to the Blessed Mother. Said in the context of the Mysteries of the Rosary, this litany honors the Mother of God and informs the one who is praying of his relationship with the Son of God and the Mother of God.
This is all my own work using some of the saints as mentioned. My main sources are St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Ronald Knox's "Esther as a Type for Our Lady", C. C. Martindale's "The Litany of Our Lady" and "The Mary Book", Simone Weil, a medieval poem and the Bible. As the text is 31 pages long, I am dividing it up into the three traditional mysteries in sections.
If anyone would like to help me get this published, I would be greatly appreciative. I do not have a date on this manuscript found today, but it was written between 1979-1984.
The Rosary Meditations open with the Litany of Loreto.
