For his birthday, Kolbe's godmother gave him the Holy Heroes Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary CD. We finally pulled it out last week for "R" week, as I decided it would be a good opportunity to talk about the Rosary. I was really impressed with this CD. The entire Rosary is led by children, with explanations at the beginning of each mystery and then a brief meditation before each Hail Mary. This is a wonderful tool - in my opinion - for praying the Rosary with kids. Because I have high hopes of praying a Decade of the Rosary with my children and I'll be honest, it just never happens. Now we've started the habit that if we go somewhere in the car (which happens more days than not it seems), the first thing we do is listen to/pray a Decade of the Rosary. Call me lazy, but having it on a CD is so much easier than trying to lead it on my own, and engage the kids in what is going on. I was so excited about this that I decided to purchase the Sorrowful Mysteries as part of the kids' Valentines present for us to use during the upcoming Lenten Season, and will likely purchase the Glorious Mysteries as an Easter gift. You can also purchase the entire Rosary as a set.
Click here for more information about Holy Heroes. And if you haven't heard of their Lenten Adventure, you can check it out here. They also have an Advent Adventure and a Summer program as well. We've never participated actively in one of their Adventures, but I am signed up for the emails and they have great resources for families during these important Liturgical seasons. And, it's FREE!! So go check Holy Heroes out and support a wonderful, truly Catholic, family produced and run company.
***I received nothing in return for this review, I simply wanted to give an honest review about a Catholic product I found to be a good fit for our family.***

I've often wondered about the Rosary CDs. I'd also like to pray the Rosary with the kids but it's always such a disaster I usually give up. Our evening prayers are going so well, though, (candles are a beautiful thing) that I'm very tempted to add it. Perhaps during the Easter season...
I like their new Catholic prayers for children CD, too, though I have the pre-release version.
I have the pre-release version as well. We haven't listened to it for awhile though. Used my $10 coupon for giving "my two cents" to buy the Sorrowful Mysteries in fact!
