The Way of the Rosary

The Way of the Rosary

Una peregrinación por el mundo, de la mano de María.

Journey through the twenty mysteries of the Rosary, accompanied by a magnificent Marian shrine at every step. A pilgrimage you can undertake from the comfort of your home—one mystery each day—or dream of for your travels. Each decade, a stage; each Hail Mary, a step toward Christ.

Cómo hacer el Camino: recorre una etapa al día —veinte días— o un misterio entero cada semana, según su día. En cada parada: lee el misterio, contempla el santuario, reza la decena y, si quieres, Offer that ten like a rose a la Virgen en el Jardín. Quien no puede viajar, peregrina con el corazón; quien viaja, lleva en el Rosario a quien se queda.
«Cada Avemaría es una rosa. Cada Rosario, un ramo. Cada etapa, un paso hacia Cristo de la mano de María.»
