Sacred Story Rosary: An Ignatian Way to Pray the Mysteries

Each mystery has a five-part introduction after which the traditional prayers are prayed. Since the mysteries are a little longer than versions that only announce the name of the mystery, you may choose to only do two or three at a time. But you will know how best to pray with them.

We are very excited to have this resource available to pray with at home, work, on retreats, or anywhere you pray. St. Ignatius, pray for us. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for me!

Sacred Story Rosary

I recommend this if you are searching for a way to pray The Rosary more mindfully. It takes a little longer than other audio rosaries, but when I have the time, this is a wonderful way to shut out the world and enter peacefully into the Holy Rosary.

A truly contemplative way to pray the Rosary

Moving meditations, music and narration make for a beautiful and meaningful way to pray.

A great Audiobook -- almost a meditation!!

I have Fr. Bill's book on the Rosary, but the Audiobook, which includes Bill reciting the prayers after his discussion/mediation on each of the mysteries, is really superior. I am definitely NOT a devotee of the Rosary (or haven't been) but this Audiobook really does provide great explanations and a wonderful approach to the prayer/mediation of the Rosary. Don't be intimidated if you aren't a regular. I like so much of what Bill Watson and Sacred Story does, but this one is really special.

This is an exceptional Rosary Book!

I have the hard copy of this book and was happy to buy the Audible edition. I like that Author is also the narrator. There is so much here!! Each Decade has a deep, powerful introduction and I get something different every time I pray it. Highly recommend! PS if Father is reading this: this would make a great App!!!

Rosary Retreat

This is a very beautiful way to have a daily mini Rosary Retreat. It really helps me transition from my hectic activity in the day to connection to heaven and eternal truths. I know I will make this part of my prayer life for the rest of my life. I'm very grateful!
