Description

*UPDATED with new full-screen artwork*

This free application is a meditation and instructive aid for those praying the Rosary. It does NOT replace your Rosary beads, but rather helps you focus on the Mysteries of the Holy Rosary.

As soon as you open the application you are greeted with today's Mysteries to meditate on, each with an accompanying artwork.

If you're new to praying the Rosary, you can follow the simple instructions, prayers, and learn about the Mysteries. Also included are the prayers of the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy.
