This is the long-awaited Rosary CD that Gretchen Harris has referred to so many times in the past. This is a special one because it is led by holy priests - four different priests leading each of the four sets of Mysteries... more » (including the Luminous!) - and four different musical accompaniments depending on the mood of the Mystery. Gretchen does 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!« less

CD Reviews
Good Content but Diffiult to Hear

"I love the meditations and fruits of the mysteries on this CD, but it is difficult to hear at least half of the priests, due to either the quietness of their voices or poor quality sound recording. I always have to adjust my speakers as well as increase the volume in order to actually hear the words. On one of the mysteries (I think it's the last one), in the middle of it I actually have to do even more adjusting because it keeps getting lower and lower in volume.
So I recommend this CD for it's content, but only if you don't mind fiddling with your stereo knobs a lot so that you can hear what's being said."
Lovely and meditative

"This is a basic rosary CD with the recitation only. There are no Bible references, just announcements of each mystery.
You just can't have too many rosary CDs! Each is wonderful and unique and lovingly carries us to the Blessed Mother. I own and play several rosary CDs and this is one of my favorites. Ms. Harris's voice is sweet but it sounds to me sometimes like she's trying to alter her natural voice to come across as being sweet and angelic. I prefer a more natural speaking tone. Personally, I prefer the different priests' voices and recitations. The glorious mysteries are led by a priest whose meditative style of recitation can transport me to the sublime realm - and I have to be careful when playing this in my car while driving!
I would rate this CD as 5 stars for the priests and 4 stars for Ms. Harris."
Wonderful~

"I ordered this CD to use for my daily Rosary that I have started to do again in my walk of Faith with God. The music in the background is wonderful. It does not distract in any way at all. The 4 priests along with Gretchen makes saying the daily Rosary a very easy thing to do filled with Grace and the longing to continue to pray the Rosary as our Mother Mary would like for us to do. You won't be disappointed in Gretchen's Rosary CD. You will love listening to her voice and praying along with her too. Enjoy!"
Soooo Prayerful
