Publisher's summary

Includes the Mysteries of Light! For many Christians the rosary is a signifcant pathway to prayer and intimacy with God. Indeed, the rosary not only introduces us to the mysteries (life events) of Christ's life, but into the living mystery of Christ himself. In this recording, the St. Anthony Messenger Press staff prays the joyful, sorrowful, glorious, and luminous mysteries of the rosary as an aid for your prayer. Each mystery begins with a Scripture verse and/or meditation.

St. Anthony Messenger Press Rosary

This rendition of the Rosary lacks an understanding of the faith as a battle amidst God, the Devil, the world, and the individual person praying the Rosary. It does not contain the Fatima prayer, "O, My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell; lead us and all souls into Heaven, especially those most in need of Your mercy!" This Rosary, seems to deposit an idea of universal salvation e.g. there are no calls for the conversion of poor sinners. Our King and Queen, are put on equal footing at various times with those who are praying this Rosary.

This rendition of the Rosary is only helpful in providing a backdrop of the basic prayers of the Holy Rosary, in conclusion the meditations are not theologically, spiritually, or psychologically correct! Theme music excepted as a marker for the beginning of the sets of meditations [Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries] is totally lacking. The Luminous Mysteries are tagged on at the end of this recording and not positioned after the Joyful Mysteries as a historical sequence of events suggests.

True Catholics, should look for an Audio-Rosary elsewhere, and pray that Audible will soon add another richer rendition of the Rosary that is fully compatible with the traditional faith of the Church!

The Rosary

The Rosary is a standard set of words, collected into prayers, therefore it is difficult to "review" something like this.
I am very happy that this recording exists. Of all the Audible products, I use/listen to this one, the most. I listen to it at least 4-5 times a week.

I really wish that a "Table of Contents" would be available for this recording, so that, we would know which chapter corresponds to what Mystery of the Rosary. This could be available in the description of the recording, or someplace, on the Audible site, where we could print it out.

This recording is wonderful, but I think that it would be a great idea if another one, let's say, another type of recording of The Rosary would also be available.

This "augmented" recording would have quiet, meditative, background music during the prayer. Additional, spoken meditations could be included between prayers, or lengthier thoughts between each decade.

This could be done in the "Scriptural Rosary" format.

One I could pray to

If you could sum up Mysteries of the Rosary in three words, what would they be?

Respectful, clear

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

One fault for me was that a prayer between theGlory be to the Father prayer and the next decade was missing, and I have to quickly say it before the new decade begins. It would be helpful if there were clearer markers between each set of Mysteries,e.g. the Joyful Mysteries The Sorrowful Mysteries, etc. which would help to find where you may have had to leave listening, instead of frustratingly search until you found where you were up to.

Great way to pray the rosary

Good way to pray the rosary...it would have been nice to have the hail holy queen at the end of all the mysteries instead of just the luminous.

Disappointed in what was left out and the format.

Did not include the Fatima Prayer, at ending prayer only once at the very end

I picked this version of the rosary out since it is a group of voices praying.

Spirit Filled

Each decade has a powerful thought. It is paced perfectly, without rushing or dragging. I'm grateful for this Rosary, and love listening to it regularly. The Rosary blesses us with a scripture based walk through the life of Jesus, and this version helps make that daily walk a joy.
