Jesus Rosary

Jesus Rosary is a simple prayer app for praying the Rosary while keeping your mind on the life of Jesus. It gives you the prayers and a set of Scripture verses to meditate on as you go.

There are twenty topics to choose from and, the developer says, over a thousand verses, drawing on the four traditional sets of mysteries. As you pray each bead, you have a verse to sit with, which turns the Rosary into a slow walk through the Gospel rather than words you race through from memory. It is built to help you actually memorize and meditate on Scripture along the way.

I like the basic idea here. The Rosary can go on autopilot, and tying each part to a verse pulls your attention back to what you are praying about. For someone who finds their mind wandering through the decades, this is a gentle help.

Good for daily Rosary, for people who want to know their Bible better, and for anyone who likes to meditate on Scripture but wants a frame to hold it together.

A couple of honest notes. This is a small app from a small developer, with very few ratings, and it has not been updated in a while. It is a dollar to buy. Do not expect a polished, feature-heavy experience, it does one thing, and it leans on the verses to carry it.

Ninety-nine cents, from Gifted Books and Media. Available on the App Store: Jesus Rosary. A modest but worthwhile aid for praying the Rosary with Scripture.
