Sacred Story Rosary

A NEW WAY TO PRAY THE ROSARY THAT WILL SUPPORT YOUR OTHER SACRED STORY PRAYER DISCIPLINES.

Those who already love the Rosary will find this a very valuable new addition to their spiritual practice, and newcomers will find Sacred Story Rosary a particularly accessible introduction to the powerful prayer. “Twenty years of praying aided by hefty doses of graced inspiration have led me to a profoundly fruitful practice of this great prayer. I hope it helps you, too, find a new path to God’s graces through this most popular of Catholic/Christian devotional prayers.”
