Publishers of the Original Scriptural Rosary since 1961
A thought from scripture for every Hail Mary.
The Scriptural Rosary is a pocket prayer book. Before each Hail Mary it gives one short passage, so the story of each mystery unfolds bead by bead.

One line a bead. The rosary keeps its pace.

Unsolicited letters from booksellers and readers
“…a Catholic store would not be the same without that little blue and white book!”
“It is a very popular book, and many of the people who buy it and love it very much are non-Catholics!”
“I absolutely adore this book. 10 out of 10! … Thank you again for putting this book together, it has changed my prayer life dramatically.”
Inside the book
Who is this that arises like the dawn, / fair as the moon, resplendent as the sun?
Two people, or a group, divide each passage at the slash. One begins. The others answer.
“…you are never more than one Hail Mary away from a vivid, thought-provoking reference to one of the Mystery stories.”

An occasional email. A definite prayer. And maybe a story or two.
“If this modern version of the old 15th century Rosary serves to improve the quality of the meditations of a few hundred people in the 20th century, then this book will have fulfilled its objectives handsomely.”
