For years we struggled with praying the Rosary with our children. They found it boring and hard because they saw it as a lot of the same prayers and not as a meditation. We had to train them to think about the Mysteries of the Rosary as the stories from the Bible. We used this CD on car trips and even praying at night in our home, and by doing so, our children not only pray the Rosary, but they really understand it and the Scripture that goes with it.
The Joyful Mysteries
The first of the 4-volume set of the Mysteries of the Rosary includes an overview of the Rosary, how to pray it, and a Scriptural Rosary, including more than a dozen children. Each mystery is introduced by an explanation of "what happened in the mystery." Then, before each "Hail Mary," a child reads a verse from the Scriptural revelation of the mystery. At the conclusion, hear about the exciting part the Rosary played in the naval battle called "The Miracle of Lepanto." Original orchestral music by Eric Genuis aids the beauty of the meditations.

This rosary CD effectively engages children and adults in prayer through scripture readings between each Hail Mary. Customers praised the "sweet voices of children praying with passion" and beautiful background music. The meditations help families understand mysteries deeply. "Excellent teaching tool" for religious education and car listening.

I got the entire collection for my whole family, fell in love with the beauty and sweetness of the meditation and purchased for my niece for her First Holy Communion. She can listen while in the car, to help her fall asleep, or even teach her younger siblings to pray. The sweet voices of children praying with passion and enthusiasm make it easy to get kids to participate.
We love these rosary CD's! It has made praying the rosary such a beautiful experience. The readings in between each Hail Mary is such a wonderful idea to engage children (& adults) throughout all 5 mysteries!
During Religious Ed class we only say a decade of the rosary at a time. This CD was great for the kids to say the rosary along with and get the concept of the prayer.
Our children love listening to the kids voices describing the mysteries! Helps me meditate on them as well!! So well done!
The Scripture readings throughout the Rosary help to give us a more profound understanding of the mysteries and a better ability to meditate on the mysteries. Lovely.
I love all the different kids' voices for each prayer and scripture selection, and also the background music. I highly recommend this for kids to listen to in the car. A great teaching tool (for adults as well!).
I purchased for religious education class. The children responded very positively. I couldn't be more pleased. The Customer service was five star too. The CD arrived the second day after ordering.
excellent teaching tool
For over a year we have done a monthly "Family Rosary Night" with our friends, and we have tried various ways to engage the kids (ages newborn to 10yo) in contemplating the mysteries and listening to what Jesus and his Blessed Mother have to say to us about our lives. Your CDs have truly hit the right note - the meditations and scripture verses illuminate the "stories" and lessons like I have never been able to and the kids are really responding to it. I am so glad to have found a resource (done by and for kids, no less!) that combines hard-core catcechesis with the loving intimacy of a personal relationship with Jesus. I look forward to seeing what Holy Heroes will bring us next!
This cd has inspired my 5 year old son to pick up the Rosary and pray on his own! He's even started drawing pictures based on the Joyful mysteries because of the cd! It has truly proven to be a wonderful gift for my children and has even bore fruit! I have recommended this CD and Glory Stories to my friends, and I just placed an order for the other mysteries of the Rosary and Glory Stories to finish off my collection! Thank you Holy Heroes!
I love it!
Music is wonderful. Understated but keeps attention focused on the meditation, not distracting. The Hail, Holy Queen prayer alone is worth the whole CD: beautiful the sound of the children's voices and the music coming up. Brings tears to my eyes every time. Great to introduce my family to the Scripture behind the mysteries with a context even the younger kids can understand. Bring us more!
