Sharing the Sorrow

Sharing the Sorrow is the second in this Rosary-themed chapter book series.

When Peter's friend Caitlyn comes over again, he can't wait to play outside. Last time they traveled through the Portal to the Rosary Mysteries all the way to Bible times, and he wants to go again! Caitlyn doesn't seem as anxious to go. She tells him that the next mysteries of the Rosary are sad, and she doesn't want to be sad. Then she finds a note in her Rosary journal that changes her mind: "Saint Faustina said Jesus gives us great graces when we meditate on the Sorrowful Mysteries."

Peter remembers how they moved from each mystery after finding the virtue for that mystery, so he plans to find the virtue quickly if a mystery gets too sad. It's a good plan, but once they step into Bible times, nothing goes as expected.

Join Caitlyn and Peter on their adventure to Bible times as they experience the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary with Jesus, the Apostles, and the Blessed Mother in this Rosary-themed chapter book geared toward six- to nine-year-olds. Readers will learn how their imagination can help them meditate on the mysteries. And they might even start praying for specific virtues related to each mystery. After the story, find Bible verses and a list of virtues specific to each mystery, along with a "Prayer before the Rosary" for children.
