On the Importance of Being the
Suffering Servant
The Suffering Servant is a figure described in the Book of the Prophet Isaiah.
Indeed, its direct and indirect use by Our Lord Jesus Christ and its vast
role in the life of the Church
had led the Fathers to refer to this book as the “Fifth Gospel.”

Christine Haapala is the author of over 13 Scriptural prayer books.
She founded Suffering Servant Scriptorium in the Jubilee year –
2000. The Suffering Servant’s Courage was one of her first
prayer book. This new pocket-size format means you can carry
the book in your back pocket, briefcase, or purse, thus having
it available anytime for prayer.
This prayer book integrates poignant Sacred Scripture verses about
courage and strength, the prayers of the mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary,
and the inspired artistic genius of the 19th century Catholic illustrator,
Gustave Dore. All 20 Rosary mysteries are included.
These Bible stories show how much Jesus suffered for you and me.
Since Jesus’ birth, the Blessed Virgin Mary bore the prophetic message
that her heart would be “pierced by a sword.” She was nearly alone
at the foot of the cross. Mary’s heart was surely pierced,
when she saw her son’s heart, pierced by a lance.
"I have heard many Catholics say that they found the Rosary monotonous. ...
Christine Haapala’s Scriptural Rosary, with illustrations by Gustave
Dore, is anything but boring. It helps one to pray the Rosary while really
meditating…
from Introduction
To love as the Suffering Servant means to follow the path of
self-sacrifice – a way that would be impossible without the courage
of the Suffering Servant.

In her eleventh Scriptural prayer book, Christine Haapala
reveals another view of the mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary
through meditations from five books of Moses - the first books of the Bible - the Pentateuch.
“In the beginning...” is a unifying theme to meditate on the entirety
of the Gospels as reflected in the mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary.
This book, “In the Beginning…”, updates Book 1: The Pentateuch in From Genesis
to Revelation. The Our Father meditations are selected from Sacred Scripture verses
that focus on “In the Beginning…”. The Hail Mary meditations are selected from the
Pentateuch [Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy]. Additional
verses are selected from the Catholic Old Testament books of Wisdom and Sirach.
All new meditations for the Luminous Mysteries were selected for this book.

from the Author's Note in this prayer book
Fifty years ago, the crew of Apollo 8 read from the Book of Genesis as they orbited the moon.
Astronauts Bill Anders, Jim Lovell, and Frank Borman recited Genesis chapter 1, verses 1
through 10. They started with “In the beginning, God created…” and they concluded with
“God bless all of you, all of you on the good Earth.” ...
Like those astronauts some fifty years ago, who recited the words “In the beginning…,” we
too know that the God who has no beginning, gave us the breath of life and formed our
world out of nothing. ...
In the 1990s, I wrote From Genesis to Revelation. This prayer book was
a collection of seven scriptural rosaries based on selections from the entirety
of Sacred Scriptures. ...
A Scriptural Rosary simplifies, yet spiritually edifies, the meditation
process of the praying of the Most Holy Rosary. A Scriptural Rosary
is a conversation with God. ...
Pope Saint John Paul II in his 2002 Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis
Mariae recommended praying a new set of mysteries called the Luminous Mysteries.
The Luminous Mysteries filled in the chronological gap from the Fifth Joyful
Mystery with Jesus as a boy of twelve to the First Sorrowful Mystery when
Jesus begins His Passion in the Garden of Gethsemane. ...
... Over
the years, I have had many requests to update the Seven Scriptural Rosaries in
From Genesis to Revelation with meditations for the Luminous Mysteries.
First, in 2004, Psalter of Jesus and Mary A Scriptural Rosary
according to Psalms and Proverbs updated Book 4: The
Psalms in From Genesis to Revelation. ... To unveil the new Luminous Mysteries
in light of Scripture,
I selected meditations from the thirty-one Proverbs, the wise words of Solomon.
Next, in 2009, Pearls of Peace
A Rosary Journey through the
Holy Land updated Book 6: SS Peter
and Paul in From Genesis to Revelation. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI
declared a Jubilee Year of St. Paul from June 2008 through June 2009.
I ... New St. Paul reflections were selected for the Luminous
Mysteries. Keeping with the theme of Jesus’ life on earth, this prayer book was
illustrated with photography from the Holy Land.
Now, in 2019, I focus on the theme of Creation and how
“In the beginning...” is a unifying theme to meditate on the entirety
of the Gospels as reflected in the mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary.
