How to Pray the Holy Rosary with Pictures: From Your First Bead to Your Final Amen
An Illustrated Beginner's Guide to the Prayers, All Twenty Mysteries, and Daily MeditationBy Alex LaneLength3h 46m
About this audiobook
A complete, step-by-step guide to praying the Holy Rosary, written for someone holding the beads for the first time.
It walks through the prayers as they are actually said, marks every one of the fifty-nine beads so you never lose your place, and sets out all twenty mysteries with a short meditation for each. Diagrams show how the beads are arranged and how a decade works, and a repeated decade strip sits beside every mystery.
Also included: a brief history of the devotion, the customary prayers in full, a weekly schedule for spreading the mysteries across the week, practical guidance for praying alone or in a group, a glossary, and the sources consulted.
The illustrations are in greyscale, designed for clear printing.
