The Rosary with Bishop Barron

I use this book to lead the rosary at the senior living community where I work. The residents love it so much they wanted their own copies. Bishop Barron provides excellent introductions for each decade and the artwork is beautiful. A wonderful companion for anyone who prays the rosary but particularly for anyone who is new to praying the rosary.

This is an excellent guide to praying the rosary. I am already a fan of Bishop Barron so I thought I’d get this book to help pray the rosary andI’m glad that I did. You don’t have to be familiar with Bishop Barron to enjoy this, it’s useful to anyone wanting to pray the rosary.This book is a great size to keep with my rosary as I travel, it doesn’t take up a lot of space and is small enough to fit into smaller pockets in my various bags. I like having a smaller book or pamphlet to carry alongside my rosary. I have Pope Francis’ little booklet that I keep in my travel bags. Both are excellent options for travel and both offer great meditations on the mysteries.This booklet gives you all of the prayers needed to pray the rosary as well as the mysteries you pray for each day. Bishop Barron offers a meditation for each of the mysteries that you can ponder as you go through each decade of the rosary. What I appreciate is that he gives a longer meditation that is a few paragraphs long and then a short summary of the meditation to save time or if you pray the rosary in groups. What I appreciated the most is that he lists all of the prayers for the beginning of the rosary and lists the mysteries so you can turn to them. Instead of just listing the mysteries themselves he also lists the prayers so if you don’t have all of them memorized you don’t have to turn back to the beginning of the book to find them. at the end of the decade it also gives you the prayers to end the rosary so you don’t have to refer to the beginning again. Essentially, you can do each mystery without needing to refer to all of the prayers you’d need at the beginning of the book.The meditations that Bishop Barron offers are excellent. I found myself appreciating the mysteries they reflect much more. The meditations offered have impacted my faith and made me think about the situations in the mysteries in a different light. This is why I wanted a guide with meditations from admirable members of the church.I had a small pamphlet, a card, Pope Francis’ book, and this one for praying the rosary and this one is my favorite. I am going to buy multiple copies to gift as well as for keeping at home and others just for traveling. This is well worth buying if you pray the rosary and want a good guide with insightful meditations.

The reflections for each mystery of the Rosary are very well written and inspire deep contemplation when praying it.

This book gives clear information on the Rosary. How to say the rosary with all the information you need. Goes through the Rosary step by step. Very simple and doesn't tell you to go here or there but simply moves forward for all aspects

Love how he has made the rosary illustrated. Great book.

I love saying the Rosay with Bishop Baron, he is a wonderful man and Bishop; I wanted to follow along with him and was very happy to find this book. It is a must have, Watch and Pray with Bishop Baron on YouTube and bring yourself closer to GOD.

This book by Bishop Barron is amazing.Elegant and affordable.The reflections on each of the mysteries are insightful and provokes thoughtful consideration.Look, I buy a lot of rosary meditation books, because the rosary is my favorite form of contemplating God in my life and this small book by Bishop Barron is the best by far in a very long time.I'm already sharing it with others, who go to the same church as I do.Thanks!

Bishop Barron provides a great starting point for the rosary, but the book is lacking. Like this and his other works (only "The Strangest Way: Walking the Christian Path" I've read) he needs a vision for his books and a good editor to sit down with him and hammer out his thoughts.The reflections are short and sort of meandering, and for each mystery, the book illustrates how to pray the rosary. Rather then that, it would have been better to provide deeper insight into each mystery; how it pertains to our life, more insight into it, various commentaries, relevant scriptures, ecetera. Bishop Barron certainly has the insight for it, but doesn't have the experiance formulating it into a book.Over all, I do enjoy having a copy near me, and the illustrations are beautiful. Many thanks to Bishop Barron.

This is really helpful while watching Bishop Barron's YouTube.

Great book in terms of the contents but very poor binding. The pages are already coming apart so I have to spend more money to have it binded again.

Das Buch war ein Geschenk, der Beschenkte war erfreut.
