Sometimes it’s difficult to concentrate while praying the Rosary. Can I get an “Amen”?! Four Mysteries Online Rosary (FREE) focuses on just that dilemma by turning each virtual bead on your device’s screen into a different image that relates to the mystery you’re praying. Looking at images that literally change with each bead holds your imagination in check like crazy.
It is stunning how well this works to hold your attention! And the images are all from exquisite works of art. No cartoons or those ugly, dated Oregon Press woodblock cuts. Along with each photo-bead, you get a different Scripture verse too.
The Resurrection beads, for example, all display a variety of aspects of Christ’s resurrection including from the point of view of other people or even the angels. To advance the beads, simply swipe horizontally, so it works equally well for right or left-handers.
