End your Marian month of May in style by giving yourself the gift of the new “Rosary Miracle Prayer” iPhone/iPod application from Pauline Books and Media.
I questioned whether or not I really needed another Rosary app on my iPhone – I already had two but really wasn’t completely satisfied with either of them. I’m so glad to have this new application, which seems absolutely perfect to me. I have to preface my remarks by saying that I am a major fan of the Daughters of St. Paul and Pauline Media – they always seem to be on the forefront of media advances and continually deliver high quality products.
This Rosary Application is a continuation of that trend. According to the iTunes store, the features for this app include:
• audio of the sisters praying the rosary: listen to the rosary or pray with the group
• never say the rosary alone again! Feel the comfort of praying with others.
• scripture introduction to each mystery with a meditative reflection.
• 18 sets of images to choose from for visual meditation while praying: vibrant photos, stained glass windows, icons, and religious art
• option to view images of the mysteries of the rosary or meaningful photos
• unique way to enter the rosary through the lens of your daily life, praying the needs of your heart
• scripture choices for each mystery for further reflection
• suggestions for prayer intentions for each mystery
• share miracles you receive and read those of others on associated website: rosarymiracleprayer.spruz.com.
• clear, easy to follow diagram for how to pray the rosary
• introduction to the praying of the rosary: meditation on the lives of Jesus and Mary, prayers of the rosary
• e-mail a friend or loved one that you have prayed for them
• hymns sung by the internationally acclaimed Daughters of St. Paul Choir
The cost of the application is $2.99. Having seen many Catholic iPhone apps lately, I’d have to say that this one is my new favorite. I hope it helps you draw closer to Jesus through His Mother Mary and that you enjoy it as much as I do!!

Thank you very much for writing about this iPod application. I had no idea there were Catholic applications and I’ve been striving to add the Rosary into my daily devotions. I think that praying with others will be of enormous benefit. Really – thank you.
I was looking forward to getting the Daughters of St. Paul Rosary App. It is not available, they say.
I love the Rosary by the Sisters on CD but would love to have a podcast or app so I could listen on my phone,
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Ronnie
Dear Ronnie, it may be that the Sisters have decided not to update the app for the latest version of iOS. This original post was from 2010. There are many other Rosary apps available; you might wish to investigate those. Family Rosary, a partner ministry of Holy Cross Family Ministries, has an app: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/family-rosarys-mobile-rosary/id476564520?mt=8
