I’m looking for a nice in depth book that will compliment daily recitation of the rosary. I’ve got a “booklet” now that has a VERY short meditation for each mystery, but I would really enjoy something with biblical readings, comments by the saints, in depth meditation etc.

Any suggestions? (Something pre-vatican II wouldn’t be turned down if you know of it, but as long as its orthodox I’m fine ;))
 
**The first book below by Prof Sri…is scriptural with excellent scriptural background analysis for meditation insights…and (most helpful) for each mystery/…each Our Father/Hail Mary/Glory Be…there is a scriptural quote for specific meditation. I love this book.
**

**The second book by Father Groeschel is also a top favorite. It is more like a short (half - to - one page) meditation/reflection homily…with excellent/beautiful mystery paintings for contemplation and Lectio Divina (putting yourself in the mystery).

Both books were published in the 2003 time frame and include JP-II’s encyclical on the Holy Rosary and the Luminous Mysteries…The year of the Rosary. They cost @ & $11-$12

The Glories of Mary by St. Alphonsus Marie de Liguori, or one of St. Louis de Montfort’s works.
 
St. Josemaria Escriva wrote a series of fairly brief meditations on the Holy Rosary. It can be read on-line here. Since the addition of the Luminous Mysteries long after his death, editors have added brief selections from some of his homilies and reflections to correspond to those mysteries as well…
