The Mystical Rose Tree provides in a very accessible form what several modern Popes, from Leo XIII to Benedict XVI, have had to say about what they had learned about the Rosary, and how each of us Today, and the world as a whole, could profit from such learning and devotion.

The Way of the Rose


Book Description

What happens when a former Zen Buddhist monk and his feminist wife experience an apparition of the Virgin Mary? “This book could not have come at a more auspicious time, and the message is mystical perfection, not to mention a courageous one. I adore this book.”—Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit Before a vision of a mysterious “Lady” invited Clark Strand and Perdita Finn to pray the rosary, they were not only uninterested in becoming Catholic but finished with institutional religion altogether. Their main spiritual concerns were the fate of the planet and the future of their children and grandchildren in an age of ecological collapse. But this Lady barely even referred to the Church and its proscriptions. Instead, she spoke of the miraculous power of the rosary to transform lives and heal the planet, and revealed the secrets she had hidden within the rosary’s prayers and mysteries—secrets of a past age when forests were the only cathedrals and people wove rose garlands for a Mother whose loving presence was as close as the ground beneath their feet. She told Strand and Finn: The rosary is My body, and My body is the body of the world. Your body is one with that body. What cause could there be for fear? Weaving together their own remarkable story of how they came to the rosary, their discoveries about the eco-feminist wisdom at the heart of this ancient devotion, and the life-changing revelations of the Lady herself, the authors reveal an ancestral path—available to everyone, religious or not—that returns us to the powerful healing rhythms of the natural world.

The pain is in her heart, that boding pain Left of the sword that Simeon saw, yet now The Babe is on her breast that charms all pain. PART III. MIRACLE OF THE DESERT. Nine days4 in the desert lost, On a sea of sand-waves tost, Quaffed the last sweet drink of water, Down our pilgrims sink and sigh; Down, perchance, to sleep and die; Nay, in weakness He is nigh, He who shields fair Sion's daughter. Lo! His angel-bands appear, And the fainting sleepers near, And the nearest angel sings As he scatters from his hands Golden seed upon the sands, With his wing the plantage fans Till the quickened seed up-springs. Straight another's shining shaft Cleaves the ground unto its haft, Following which the waters rush With a low and murmuring sound, Eddying in a circle round, Form a basin in the ground, Where a-brim the cool waves gush. One plants germs of purple fruit, Whence the sappy vines they shoot; Another makes the bread-tree rjse, Doth the fountain-border sow, Makes the fruited fig-tree grow, And the fragrant orange blow: And still the golden seed it flies. Boungavilla's purple bloom Gives the visioned night perfume, Poinsetta's azure streamers Floating from the cocoa trees, Waving in the wooing breeze, And the bamboo's widening leaves Hedge around the peaceful dreamers. Grasses creep o'er Mary's bed, Lilies flower about her head, Daffodils below her feet, And a stately sandal fair Spreads its odorous branches there, Casts its perfume in her hair, --Babe and mother slumbering sweet. Yet, afar, another plants, And the beauteous palm up-slants, Straight its trunk forms tall and fair, "Neath the breath the...
