Help children contemplate the Mysteries of the Rosary through drawing

Rosary Reflections For Kids Tablet and Rosary Reflections Workbook help teach children to say, pray and contemplate the Rosary by drawing the Mysteries, including the new "Luminous" Mysteries.

Two Sizes – One Great Idea!
Rosary Reflections for Kids Tablet is a drawing pad with 30 sheets of 11 x 17-inch paper, formatted to help children draw, color and think about the Mysteries of the Rosary. As you pray the Rosary, children can express the Mysteries by drawing their own picture of each Mystery. Each sheet has drawing space for five Mysteries. A printed Rosary in the center helps children keep track of their progress.

Rosary Reflections Workbook is an 8.5 x 11-inch drawing book with 26 of the same Rosary drawing sheets scaled down to book size, AND includes a how-to guide, list of prayers, selected Scriptures to read. Rosary Reflections has everything you need to learn to pray the Rosary, all in a compact-sized book.

The drawing pad and book use very high quality paper that can handle crayons, markers and even finger paints.

Answering the Pope's Call
In Pope John Paul II's apostolic letter On the Most Holy Rosary there is a call for the Rosary to be "reclaimed in its full meaning" and "properly revitalized." He writes that the Rosary is "an exquisitely contemplative prayer," and that "without contemplation, the Rosary is a body without a soul, and its recitation runs the risk of becoming a mechanical repetition of formulas." Rosary Reflections is a response to this call.

Most children have difficulty contemplating the Mysteries while saying the words of the prayers. Rosary Reflections helps children to learn contemplative techniques such as visualization, allowing them to enter the Mysteries in a more personal and enjoyable way.

How to Use Rosary Reflections
There are several ways you and your child can use Rosary Reflections:
• Contemplate the Mysteries by drawing pictures of each Mystery, one each in the five areas.
• Draw pictures of people or intentions they are praying for.
• Write the five main prayers of the Rosary.
• Color each bead as each prayer is spoken.
• Draw Jesus on the cross as they pray the Apostles' Creed.

You will find many other uses as you and your child explore the Mysteries of the Rosary together. Rosary Reflections can help bring your children closer to Christ and Our Blessed Mother, strengthening your family as you help revitalize this special prayer.

Each sheet can be left in the drawing pad and prayer book or removed and conveniently filed as needed.

Scripture passages are provided for each Mystery
in the Rosary Reflections 8.5" x 11" Workbook.

A New Way to Pray the Rosary
Rosary Reflections offers three main benefits:
• The child actually contemplates the Mystery because he or she is drawing it
• The parent, teacher or guardian can see the drawing, and therefore knows what the child is thinking about in prayer
• Using the pad with others makes saying the Rosary a more shared experience
 

Excellent Teaching Tools
Rosary Reflections teaches children how to pray the Rosary. The larger pad, with its emphasis on drawing, provides ample space for children to draw.

The smaller Workbook is a complete guide featuring a step-by-step diagram to say the Rosary including all the prayers. To aid in contemplation and allow "the word of God to become part of the Rosary's methodology," a selected Scripture for each Mystery is included.

The Tablet has 26 drawing pages with each page formatted for five mysteries, enough pages for once-a-week use throughout the school year. All pages are perforated for easy removal. Or keep the pages together to show students how their contemplation has changed throughout a school year. The convenient size makes it easy to store in a student's desk. Rosary Reflections is the perfect part of a Catholic curriculum year after year.

Already Making a Difference
In the brief time Rosary Reflections has been available, it is already impacting the lives of those who've used it. Here's what they are saying about their experiences:

"It is not that often that one comes across a new idea to give children such a hands-on, comprehensible way of meditating on and expressing their love for the Mysteries of the life of Christ. Our school principal, teachers and I have been so pleased by the children's enthusiasm. How wonderful it is to see them embrace the Rosary, especially now during the Year of the Rosary (2003)."
(Very Rev.) William B. Neuhaus, V.F., Pastor, St. Thomas Church
Ft. Thomas, Kentucky

"By drawing the mysteries, our children could all participate, and saying the Rosary became a wonderful experience. Instead of having meltdowns during the Rosary, our children were able to become very insightful while drawing the Mysteries. We were surprised at how insightful our children were!"
Madonna Gieske, Homemaker and mother of four
Ft. Mitchell, Kentucky

"The quality of the paper that you use for these sheets make it conducive for the children to use almost any type of writing tool imaginable. My eight-year-old daughter loves to color with crayons, while her younger siblings, ages five and three, enjoy finger painting and watercolors. The colors do not bleed through the paper."
Karen L. Gamel, City Mayor and mother of four
Lakeside Park, Kentucky

"I was especially happy to see my 5-year-old get involved and pray the entire Rosary without complaint — he was so excited to explain his drawings to me! This is a wonderful addition to our curriculum!"
Maria Elkins, Homeschool parent and mother of five
Park Hills, Kentucky

"I think Rosary Reflections is a wonderful tool to teach the Mysteries of the Rosary. Children have learned through pictures since they were little and this is just another great way to incorporate pictures into learning. My second grade students brought meaning to the Mysteries of the Rosary by drawing their interpretation of each Mystery. This is something I would enjoy using in my classroom year after year."
Jan Witajewski, 2nd grade teacher, St. Cecilia School
Independence, Kentucky
