Rosary

Description

Product Description

The Rosary CD was honored as a final nominee for two Unity Awards – ‘Devotional Album of the Year’ and ‘Spoken Word Album of the Year’! This is the long-awaited Rosary CD that Gretchen Harris has referred to so many times in the past. This is a very special one because it is led by holy priests – four different priests leading each of the four sets of Mysteries (including the Luminous!) – and four different musical accompaniments depending on the mood of the Mystery. Gretchen prays the responses and announces the Fruits of the Mysteries to add to the meditational experience. Each Rosary is about 18 minutes in prayer, and they are all included on one CD! Says Gretchen, ‘I am so blessed and honored to pray with each and every person who buys this CD. My heart and soul is with them, and I feel this privilege very deeply.’ This is a wonderful gift for people who pray the Rosary and for people who would love to learn how to join in this beautiful prayer!
