“Many Catholics feel secretly guilty about the fact that they struggle with the Rosary. In this practical and contemplative book, Madeleine Carroll helps young people engage with the Rosary from an early age. With the help of reflections, illustrations, and an abundance of Scriptural material, Madeleine beautifully shows how this powerful Marian prayer is rooted not in mindless repetition but in loving meditation on the mysteries of Christ's life.”

For many Catholics, the Rosary can feel repetitive or confusing. They might have a hard time staying focused. They may have learned the prayers but not know the meaning or how to bring it into their life in a real way. Designed for youth ages 10 and up, A Young Catholic’s Guide to the Rosary helps young Catholics not only learn how to pray the Rosary but experience it in a way that is engaging, meaningful, and personal. Inspired by the format of The Rosary in a Year podcast, this full-color prayer book builds a foundation for a lifelong love for this powerful devotion. Young Catholics (and adults, too!) will learn to enter into meditation with the Rosary through:

• Insights into why and how to pray based on the chart-topping podcast The Rosary in a Year (with Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR).
   
• Imaginative retellings of the mysteries of the Rosary and artwork to spark reflection.
   
• Thoughtful explanations and quotes from the saints that deepen understanding of the mysteries.
   
• A Bible verse for each Our Father and Hail Mary to prayerfully connect the Rosary to God’s Word.
   
• Complete instructions and all the prayers of the Rosary to build confidence in prayer time.

With space to write prayer intentions and practical guidance throughout, this is more than a prayer book. It is a companion for building a habit of prayer and helping young Catholics grow in relationship with Jesus through Mary.
