Slow down for half an hour to spend a little extra time with Jesus. Personal renewal awaits you in prayer and meditation. This episode of Footsteps to Heaven gives it to you. We’ve recorded a Good News Rosary of the Joyful Mysteries. It is, of course, different than all other rosaries. It includes meditations written by Terry Modica to make the Joyful Mysteries very personal for you, and it begins with a Prayer of Consecration to Christ.
This podcast is also available as a video >>
We have had an interactive “cyber-rosary” on our website. The blue rosary beads turn gold as you pray on each bead. You’ll find all four sets of mysteries at gnm.org/prayers/pray-the-rosary/start/.
The meditations used in this Rosary are posted below. Or download a PDF of the prayers without the transcript (scroll to the bottom of the first Joyful Mystery).
Download this podcast to listen to it anywhere and pray the Joyful Mysteries while driving or anytime you want a “companion” to pray the Rosary with.
You can download the transcript from our Media Center >>
