101 Inspirational Stories of the Rosary

I purchased this book before I started making rosaries, but I never read it. I am not 100% sure, but I think I first heard about the Rosary Army and making rosaries when listening to an episode of the Catholic Insider. It is another SQPN podcast. Hearing about the Rosary Army is what convinced me to make Rosaries. Their motto of “Make them, pray them and give them away” just seemed natural. The funny thing is I am not even sure if I ever prayed a rosary before making one. I know I have had a rosary since I made my first communion as a child and I still have it thanks to my mother. I even have one in most of my cars, placed their by my father. I began to read this book a little while after I started going to the Rosary Army forums looking for advice about how to teach my CCD/PREP class how to make rosaries. I have yet to tackle this task, but after reading the forums I am a lot more confident that we will be successful. 101 Inspirational Stories of the Rosary was compiled and produced by Sister Patricia Proctor, OSC. The book is about 211 pages long. It is filled with wonder stories about how praying the rosary has affected the lives of people just like you and I. The stories are filled with many “small” miracles. The stories are truly inspirational. The book also contains many quotes from Saints and famous people about the rosary as well as many prayers to our Mother Mary. One of the best parts about the book is its appendices. They provide a lot of information about the Rosary including its history, mysteries, how to make one and how to pray one. If you have any doubts about the Rosary this is a great book to read.

"Love the Madonna and pray the rosary, for her rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today."

– Saint Padre Pio
