The Scriptural Rosary app was designed to help you pray the Rosary as if you had your Rosary beads in your hands.
Users can choose to hear the Rosary as it is being prayed as well as see the spoken word highlighted as the prayer progresses.
We do not claim that this app is the only accepted way of praying the Rosary.
Please consider that everything we have created with this app was done with the best intent.

If you are praying the Rosary with this app or while holding your Rosary beads you
should be praying in the most respectful and thoughtful way. You alone must focus your thoughts on the
prayer while praying with Rosary beads or by using this app.

First - Because many people do not know how to pray the Rosary and this app can help change that.
Second – It has been my observation that most people do not carry a Rosary in their pocket. However, in today's world, many people own and carry
a phone capable of running this Rosary app. Therefore this app offers those with an Android phone the option to pray the Rosary often.

No – While the Rosary is a core Catholic tradition, we designed this app as a meditative tool to
help anyone/everyone can pray the Rosary.

Yes, it is respectful. If you are using your Rosary beads or this app consider these quotes from the
book,
The Secret of the Rosary - 'It is not so much the length of a prayer, but the fervor with which it is said which pleases
Almighty God and touches His Heart.' And this quote from the same book – 'One single Hail Mary that is said
properly is worth more than one hundred and fifty that are said badly.'

Sadly, I would guess no – There are times, October, in our Diocese where the Rosary is prayed before all Masses.
I have observed the 'before Mass Rosary' tradition in other countries and various Parishes in the US also.
It is very common before a funeral Mass to say the Rosary with the family present in the Church.

Yes! – Google - 'Marian apparitions and the message of the Virgin Mary' – As for me – I believe.

Not as often as my mother or grandmother.

All text comes from Public Domain sources, my own memory, and the cherished personal journals of my
mother and grandmother. While small variations exist in Rosary traditions worldwide, our
version was created with the best intent to honor the Word.

There are times when a person is incapacitated and cannot hear the Rosary prayers or is in an
environment where holding Rosary beads and listening to audio is not possible. Word guide visually shows the
person the current prayer word so the Rosary can be followed. It is also a wonderful tool for the hearing impaired or
those in quiet environments like a library or a bus.

No- the app does
NOT pray the Rosary. There are times when a person is in a respectable focused environment and cannot hold the
Rosary beads to pray the Rosary. The prayer advance feature is designed for those situations where you can pray the Rosary along with the app
while your hands are not available. If you find yourself unfocused and the prayers are moving along without your attention,
tap the Pause button, and start the where you left off when your mind is focused on the Rosary.

They probably are different. There are many, many bible translations to choose from and we are not saying one translation
is better than another. Please compare the text from this site with your Bible text. Discover why the translations are different.
We wanted to use a modern translation of the Bible. But there are significant copyright issues involved with
modern Bible translations found online. We could not easily and/or economically overcome these issues.
In some cases we could not get permission from the copyright owner for our use therefore we had to seek out a
copyright free Public Domain source.
