The Power of the Rosary

De: Gabriel Castillo

Narrado por: Gabriel Castillo, T.K. Coleman, Josef Castillo, Gemma Castillo

The Power of the Rosary by Gabriel Castillo, is more than a book: It is a theological bombshell, a detonator for spiritual renewal, and a lifeline for modern Catholics who feel lost in the storm. At once mystical, scholarly, and deeply personal, this work deserves to be placed alongside the classics of Marian devotion. It is The Secret of the Rosary for a new generation—expanded, clarified, and intensified. From the very first minutes, Castillo makes clear that the Rosary is not a sentimental string of beads for the weak but a divine weapon forged by the Queen of Heaven and designed to sanctify, deliver, and transform.

With the precision of a scholar and the urgency of a preacher, he traces the Rosary’s roots from Sacred Scripture and the Gospels, through St. Dominic and Bl. Alan de la Roche, to Lourdes, Fatima, and the towering figure of St. John Paul II. Every chapter is saturated with insights from the greatest saints, grounded in tradition, and supported by the lived witness of souls who have been changed by Mary’s intercession. Yet what makes this book shine is not just its doctrinal clarity but its deep intimacy.

Castillo writes as one who has been saved by the Rosary. He speaks not just to minds but to hearts—to the young who are searching for purpose, to sinners trapped in mortal sin, to heartbroken parents, exhausted priests, and lukewarm souls in need of fire. His voice is bold but fatherly, convicting but compassionate. Particularly illuminating is his teaching on mental prayer—how to truly pray the Rosary, and pray it well, using the method of the saints. He combines Carmelite mysticism with Dominican structure. It is here that mystical theology becomes tangible. Listeners are not just invited to recite prayers but to encounter Christ face-to-face through Mary, to gaze into the eyes of Jesus in the mysteries of the Rosary, and to converse with God from the heart.

This book will pierce you. It will awaken you. It will challenge you to live differently.

Inspiring

Never before I felt about entertaining the idea of doing the daily rosary. Now, I have practiced doing the 4 rosaries here and there and dropped to one a day. I strongly considering to doing the four once again.

How to meditate on the mysteries is a life changer. Your relationship with both Mary and Jesus will grow as well as your desire for holiness. The Mass, the sacraments, adoration, and serving the Lord will start to take off. Recommended 100%.

True Power - Our Lady Unlocks Grace

Since Mary's fiat at the Annunciation when her consent opened the torrents of grace through her Son our Lord, we can draw from her the grace of her Son through her prayers and molding us as we hold her hand in the Rosary and meditate on our Salvation.

Gabe's emphasis on the mental prayer in the rosary is a game changer. My experience of the full rosary all 4 sets of Mysteries will be enhanced and offer more blessings to the intentions I bring to Christ through Mary.

Full of many graces! Highly recommend

I have the book and it was wonderful to be able to get the audible version! Gabi is an amazing educator with a passionate heart – he makes everything he teaches about super interesting and very easy to understand. It is because of him I am becoming a Catholic and I have been praying the rosary for over a year now. I can’t say enough about this book or about his teaching and YouTube and true faith TV channels.
Rosary for me has been a lifesaver – I have four or five different issues going on in my life that Their own and I have been able to surrender and pray at least one rosary day, my goal will be to do all four of them. In the night, I sometimes wake up and just put on the full rosary and I can easily fall back asleep and I know that my soul is more at peace!
Thank you, Gabi!

By God's grace

personally I have never liked it when an author changes their voice in order to highlight a different speaker or quote from another, it's a pet peeve and hence the score I attributed to performance. the book was good, I will very likely read it again, it has also done what it has set out to do, and I have started doing 4 rosaries a day, by God's grace I will continue well past the 7 days I have assigned it.

It was a great modern recap

I enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it. It's a great "modern" style way of reviewing the rosary importance meaning etc
