Try F11 With Version 2 Mysteries

If you like to see the picture while you pray then try version two of each mystery and hit "F11" on your keyboard before you begin. This will give you the full screen. To go back to "normal", just hit "F11" again.

I received a submission from a group of 82 that prayed the scriptural rosary today. That is so wonderful! It also means we have set a new daily record and are on our way to break the weekly record set last week.

Thanks to all for your prayers and participation.

Monthly Record Broken!

There are still three days left in March but the record of 1593 rosaries prayed last March has been broken!

Check back on 4/1/11 to see the total for the new record.

Also, I've started advertising the new sister site, www.rosarysite.com. This is an effort to get ranked on google searches for terms like rosary, holy rosary, online rosary etc.

I did this originally for www.scripturalrosary.org and it is now ranked #1 on google, yahoo and other search engines for the term "scriptural rosary". However, we are nowhere to be found when you search for rosary, holy rosary, online rosary, etc.

You can help! Go here to see how.

Thanks,

Bill

One Week Record Is Broken!

Scroll down to the next post to read about the larger font in version 2 and why it has been changed.

This post is a "Congratulations To All" for helping us break the record for most rosaries prayed in one week. The old record was 423. The new record set last week is 459.

We've got five more days to beat the all time monthly record of 1593. Through 3/26/11 we've prayed 1489 rosaries. We need 105 to break the record. That's 21 per day so this record should fall.

Many thanks to all of you for your prayers and support!

Font Increased On Second Version

In order to assist those that need it, I have increased the font on the version 2 of the scriptural rosary. The first version uses font size 20. Version 2 uses font size 18. I could not make it quite as big and keep the picture on the side.

You may need to refresh each page if you want to use the larger font.

I had a request and I remembered that several others had expressed an appreciation for the larger font in the original version. I hope the change proves helpful.

Thanks and God Bless.

Eleven Today Will Break A Record!

With 413 rosaries already prayed through Friday we need just 11 more today to break the weekly record of 423. Saturdays are not the best day but 11 doesn't seem like it will be a problem.

To break the record for a month (1593), we need to pray 151 more rosaries with six more days to do it. That's right at 25 per day so it looks like a new monthly record will be set too.

If you haven't already, take a second one day and check out the guest book or the feedback section of the site. The mission of www.scripturalrosary.org is to enhance the experience for those that already pray the Holy Rosary and to encourage others to begin this devotion on a daily basis. It appears that at least to some degree, it is working!

Your support and participation is greatly appreciated. Please continue to help spread the word by sharing the site with your friends and acquaintances.

Thank you,

Two Records May Be Broken!

We have an opportunity to set two records in rosaries prayed at www.scripturalrosary.org. The current record for rosaries prayed in one week is 423. Through Thursday, we have prayed 344 rosaries. It will take 80 more in the next two days to beat that record.

We've also prayed 1374 rosaries this month. The record for one month is 1593. We need 220 more prayed to beat the record and we have 7 days to accomplish this task.

The site was first published on 1/20/08. Back then I got excited when one rosary was prayed. It is extremely exciting to see so many take advantage of the website this month. I hope everyone is enjoying spending the time with Jesus and His mother.

Thank you all for your support and participation!

God Bless,

Thanks For Your Support and Participation!

The rosary count in March appears to be on its way to a new monthly record. Thank you all for your prayers and support of the website and its mission.

If you haven't already noticed, there are four more scriptural rosaries to pray now. They are all easy to pray and the images depicting each mystery are larger. I hope you like them for a change in pace occasionally.

Please continue to spread the word about the site. The current goal is to have 100,000 rosaries prayed because of the site. The goal was originally 1,000,000 but that wasn't seeming very realistic at the rate it was going.

With your help and your prayers, maybe it still will happen.

God Bless,

Bill

New Joyful and Sorrowful Mysteries Added

You may have to "refresh" the Beginning Prayers Page to see them but I have completed two new versions for the Joyful and Sorrowful Mysteries. The new versions for the Illuminous and Glorious Mysteries will follow soon.

I wanted to give you an option to change it up a bit. I hope you enjoy them.

Thanks,

Bill

UPDATE: The new versions of the Mysteries of Light and the Glorious Mysteries have also been added to the site. You may need to refresh the "Beginning Prayers" page to see the new links.

Lent Begins!

Just a reminder that today is Ash Wednesday. While you're trying to figure out what you plan to "give up" consider this... How about giving up 30 minutes a day to pray the Holy Rosary every day? It's just a thought.

My goal this season is to create another scriptural rosary with different scripture verses and different pictures to give you the chance for a change when you visit www.scripturalrosary.org. I'm going to try to create a format that allows you to see the picture or pictures representing each mystery throughout the 10 "Hail Marys". I'll try to have it finished before Holy Thursday.

Please keep me in your prayers during lent. I will do the same for you all.

Thank you for your participation and support of my site and its mission!

God Bless,

Bill

We need to average 54 per day or better.

A group of 25 will help today's total. Thank you! We need to average 54 rosaries prayed per day for the remainder of March if we hope to break the record of 1593 set in March 2010.

Please continue to spread the word and let others know about the site and its mission.

Thanks for your support!

God Bless.
