So, you say you thought the Rosary was reserved for sweet old ladies and saints? Maybe a few other nice people with excessive time on their hands? Both fair assumptions, but they couldn't be farther from the truth! The Rosary can be said by anyone and the graces that ensue can be received by anyone. To fully enjoy the healing and life-changing effects of this amazing meditative prayer, all you need to be is one of God's children. I hate to point out the obvious on this one, but yes...YOU qualify! The Rosary has often been called the most powerful prayer on Earth. Revealed by the Virgin Mary to St. Dominic in 1214, this set of prayers is arranged around 20 mysteries, or, biblical stories, about the life of Jesus and His Mother. Saying the Rosary doesn't just include repeating a set of prayers over and over again. The real splendor of the Rosary lies in your meditation on the life of Christ as you say the prayers. As Father Ronan Murphy put it, the Rosary is "the Bible on a string." Learn to pray the Rosary with this simple, straightforward guide that will walk you through all of the prayers and Mysteries for every day of the week. Read the history associated with the Rosary and the amazing promises the Blessed Mother makes to those who regularly pray it. Experience for yourself the peace, grace and blessings that come along with praying what Pope Francis describes as spiritual medicine “good for the heart, the soul, the whole life”. All proceeds go to Sheltering Grace, a homeless pregnancy shelter located near Atlanta, GA.
I feel like this book was written just for me! I have prayed the rosary before, and knew the mechanics of how to do it, but never understood all of the reasons why we do it. This book brought to light the details about the blessings that come from praying the rosary and also gave easy to understand information about why and how to do it right.
I absolutely loved the daily breakdown and the visual guide is a big help for me, too. This book makes praying the rosary something I could see as an important part of my weekly routine, instead of something that I would just do every once in a while and not really understand why. The bright colors and pretty layout of the guide is not lost on me either.
The book was a very approachable and written in a voice that I can understand; like an invitation from a good friend for me to reacquaint myself with the lovely ritual of praying the rosary.
I am so grateful I found this book! I am not a cradle Catholic, I converted when I married. This book is so user friendly, bright colors, easy to read and understand, guiding you through the prayers and mysteries each day. Praying the Rosary has given me such hope and peace that continues throughout the day. It's the perfect tool for enlightening my grandchildren as well as myself on the Rosary. I highly recommend this book, you will not be disappointed. Great gift idea for Confirmation.
