Audio Prayers and Other Devotions

By Francis W. Porretto

"Wherever two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am also." [Matthew 18:20]

Many persons find that they have no taste for locally organized prayer groups, while others can't leave the house, or prefer not to. These recordings are "someone to pray along with," so that you might feel less alone in your devotions, yet be spared the inconveniences of in-the-flesh company. You're welcome to use them as you like.

1. The Rosary.

After the Mass, the Rosary is the most beloved of all Christian prayers. There have been some slight alterations to it over the years, but in essence it's the same as it was when first practiced by Irish Christians in the years after Patrick.

The Rosary is normally prayed in pentads, a pentad being a group of five mysteries. Each mystery is concerned with a specific event in the Incarnation, Ministry, Passion or Resurrection of Jesus. The table below is your guide to the four pentads and the recordings thereof:

The Joyful Mysteries The Luminous Mysteries The Sorrowful Mysteries The Glorious Mysteries
Opening Prayers
The Annunciation The Baptism In The Jordan The Agony In The Garden The Resurrection
The Visitation The Wedding At Cana The Scourging At The Pillar The Ascension
The Nativity The Proclamation Of The Kingdom The Crowning With Thorns The Descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost
The Presentation The Transfiguration On The Mountain The Carrying Of The Cross The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin
The Finding In The Temple The Institution Of The Eucharist The Crucifixion The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven
Closing Prayers
