Pocket Guide to the Rosary

Great pocket guide for those who are wanting to start a devotion to our Blessed Mother and those new to the faith! Has a variety of prayers and is easy to follow along.

This is an absolutely gorgeous rosary booklet that is easy to navigate and read, has ribbons to hold your place, and explains all mysteries and prayers with beautiful illustrations. It is such a delight to use and to keep on my side table with my rosary. Gift quality and worth the extra few bucks compared to the others I've used before.

I love this little book. Very classy leather binding and a first class way to learn to say this wonderful prayer better. I’ve been saying the rosary along with some great YouTube videos for years, but as a connoisseur of many movies and shows that end or begin with some manner of Apocalipse… it dawned on me one day that doing it that way would be quite damaging in a world where people had to survive the end of civilized society. You don’t want to suddenly not be able to pray your “power prayers” like this one just because you slid into depending on those videos to make it more convenient for you. Learn your prayers MANUALLY. Have them in your brain. My rant is at an end.

Handy, pocket-sized. So, its main focus is on the mysteries (which I can never remember), but as an added bonus, Engl/Latin versions of all the rosary prayers plus a nice selection of additional prayers, also in English and Latin. Very handy for those who sometimes stumble over remembering the differences of the Nicene and the Apostles Creeds, as well as the Salve Regina. Beautiful binding as well. Pride of place in a pocket this deserves!

Well this book is not pocket sized or small. It’s the size of a 6x4 photo. The book is WONDERFUL for al you who love to say the rosary. The reflective meditations are very thought provoking. The illustrations could only be more beautiful if they were in color and voila I have colored. Pencils. I would HIGHLY recommend this book for everyone.

I brought this pocket guide a number of years ago. Have been using for the last week during holy rosary prayer time. Rich & insightful. It is loaded with understanding the mystery just a little prayer at a time

Other reviews are saying that this Leatherette book has a low quality cover and newsprint. I don't know what they were expecting, but I've paid more for a book with the same description and received a lot lower quality. The paper is not as thin as newsprint. It could stand to be a little thicker paper and still be pretty compact. I know I'll be using it a lot so a thicker cover and paper would be a nice improvement. As for content, I think it's wonderful. It covers all basics in detail that's easy to follow. It also includes the Luminous Mysteries and instructs which mysteries to pray according to the days of the week. While the personal application sections are a great place to start, I'm still yearning for more specific examples of that personal application. Ascension has been providing a great service with live streaming of praying the rosary during the Corona Virus Pandemic, and so many Ascension volunteer rosary leaders have provided so many wonderful examples to meditate on. I lined space in each of those personal application sections would be a fantastic addition for further meditation. I was lucky enough to get this for a screaming deal late one night. I was able to get a second for myself. It's definitely going to be a go-to gift for sacramental occasions.

Back in the early days I don’t remember very little on how I prayed the rosary. And either a bunch changed or I was doing it wrong all along lol. First off, I love the aesthetic of this little book. The nice blue leather with the gold stamped design. The double satin ribbon bookmarks, and the illustrations within are all beautiful! I like the guide of which days to contemplate each group of mysteries. And I also appreciated the small summary of each and a guide on what to think about for each one. This was really helpful as someone who was basically starting from scratch. The guide in the back on the walkthrough on HOW TO pray the rosary was nice. I’m a visual person :) And the prayers are organized well and I really like the Latin translations of each prayers too. That’s my next step to learn. I guess some reviews are mentioning the price, but I’ve had this booklet for almost 2 months now and I’ve used it everyday! So I’ve gotten my money’s worth. If you’re starting from the beginning or need to relearn, I highly recommend this pocket guide.
