Praying the Rosary without Distractions, published by the Dominican Friars at the Rosary Center, Oregon, USA, is a small treasure that tells how to pray the Rosary but that also gives a one-line meditation for each bead. All mysteries of the Rosary are covered in this booklet. Two facing pages are devoted to each mystery, with the left hand page devoted to a traditional painting of the mystery and the right hand page listing the meditative sentences.

For example, the Fourth Luminous Mystery, the Transfiguration of Jesus, shares the following meditations for each Hail Mary.

1. Jesus took Peter, James and John up a high mountain to pray.

2. Jesus was transfigured before them.

3. "His face became as dazzling as the sun, His clothes as radiant as llight."

4. This was to fortify their faith to withstand the coming tragedy of the Passion.

5. Jesus foresaw the "scandal of the cross," and prepared them for it by this manifestation of His glory.

6. Moses and Elias appeared (representing the Law and the Prophets of the Old Testament) and were conversing with Jesus about His passion.

7. "Do not think I have come to destroy the Law or the Prophets. . . but to fulfill them."

8. From a cloud came a voice: "This is My beloved Son, listen to Him."

9. Jesus admonishes them not to tell the vision to anyone until the Son of Man rises from the dead.

10. We too will behold the transfigured Jesus on the Last Day.

Each mystery follows the same format with meditations specific to that mystery.
