Christine wakes up every morning in an unfamiliar bed with an unfamiliar man. She looks in the mirror and sees an unfamiliar, middle-aged face. And every morning, the man she has woken up with must explain that he is Ben, he is her husband, she is 47 years old, and a terrible accident two decades earlier decimated her ability to form new memories. Every day, Christine must begin again the reconstruction of her past. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more unbelievable it seems.

Each mystery has a five-part introduction after which the traditional prayers are prayed. Since the mysteries are a little longer than versions that only announce the name of the mystery, you may choose to only do two or three at a time. But you will know how best to pray with them. We are very excited to have this resource available to pray with at home, work, on retreats, or anywhere you pray. St. Ignatius, pray for us. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for me!
