The Rosary Is a Luminous Place

Fr. Groeschel and Simonetta are an inspiration to pray the Rosary - the Marian prayer. I listened to it for the first time on Catholic radio (EWTN radio) and liked it so much that when I found out the CD was available I purchased it. I no longer have to wait until 10 PM to pray the Rosary. I can now pray at any given time.......IT IS TRULY A BLESSING FROM GOD....

For this year's Lent I decided to look for a rosary that was recited on CD. After listening to several on iTunes I ran across Fr. Benedict's version. I was not familiar with the Luminous Mysteries, but very anxious to hear them. Fr. Benedict's narrative is the key to making this CD so special! His awesome narrative is what really draws you into these prayers. He does not rush the prayers either which we all have a tendency to do. Simonetta's beautiful vocals are the perfect compliment to the overall atmosphere this CD creates. If you are a Cradle Catholic, these fairly new mysteries will rekindle your faith. If you are just beginning your faith journey with the Catholic Church, this recording will inspire you.

This album combines the beauty of this most exquisite Catholic prayer with profound meditation and serene music. A perfect blend that enhances both the prayer and the musical experience. In our hectic busy culture this provides an oasis of serenity in a troubled world. I recommend it highly -- daily doses for a spiritual cure.
