Connie, what was your incentive in co-authoring the Contemplative Rosary? How long did it take to complete this project? How did you pick the clausal addition....was it from Rosarium Virginus alone?
Connie Rossini
1) Dan Burke proposed this project. At first, my desire was to make St. Teresa's teaching on vocal prayer more widely known. But as I began to read Rosarium Virginus Mariae (which I believe I had done when it was first released), I wanted also to share this most beautiful document with the world.
2) We started in the summer of 2015, so the whole project took a little over two years. However, much of that time was waiting for the publisher to respond to inquiries and drafts, etc. And we changed publishers after our original publisher was acquired by another company. The actual writing and re-writing was very spread out, but I would say took 4 to 6 weeks on my part, with another couple of weeks finding the right art work.
3) The idea of the clausal addition comes from Blessed Paul VI originally. The clauses we used were pretty obvious ones. Most of them were the same as in the original New Guide to the Rosary issued by the National Catholic Register in 2003.

I'm the informal leader of a Catholic woman's study group. We're finishing up on HAIL, HOLY QUEEN, by Scott Hahn, and with the advent of Lent (not trying to be funny. . .), we're about to start on a book of Lenten meditations written by Fr. Peter Stravinskas. Do you have anything suitable for older women? I write fiction with a Catholic perspective.
