**About the Book** The Recovery Rosary bridges Catholic devotional practice with the Twelve Steps of recovery, offering a unique resource for Catholics struggling with addiction or supporting loved ones in recovery. The authors from Catholic in Recovery have crafted meditations on all twenty mysteries of the Rosary that draw from personal experiences of alcoholism, drug addiction, sexual addiction, eating disorders, and the journey of being an addiction survivor's family member. Each mystery includes a relevant biblical or papal excerpt, a personalized meditation written by community members, and three reflection questions designed for both individual prayer and group discussion. The book aims to deepen relationships with Jesus and Mary while drawing strength from Catholic tradition united with the proven framework of Twelve Step recovery, offering hope and encouragement regardless of where readers find themselves on their healing journey. **CCMMP Analysis** - **Created**: The book honors the fundamental dignity of every person struggling with addiction by rooting recovery in relationship with Jesus and Mary, affirming that even those caught in destructive patterns retain their identity as beloved children of God - **Fallen**: The personal meditations honestly confront the reality of addiction's destructive power across multiple areas—substance abuse, sexual compulsion, disordered eating—acknowledging how these patterns wound both individuals and their families - **Redeemed**: The integration of Twelve Step principles with Marian devotion points toward restoration through both divine grace and proven recovery practices, offering concrete pathways to freedom and healing - **Temperance**: The entire framework supports the cultivation of sobriety, self-control, and moderation while providing spiritual tools to strengthen these virtues through prayer and community - **Fortitude**: The emphasis on perseverance through the recovery journey, supported by regular prayer practice, builds the courage and resilience necessary for sustained healing
