About the Recording

This acoustic guitar version of one of the most powerful prayers we have to combat evil takes about 30 minutes to pray and is very portable (car, laptop, cellphone, Mp3 player, etc.). It is meant to be sung along with by nature of the simplistic melodies.

There are only five Hail Mary prayers per decade by liberty of St. Augustine's statement "Singing is praying twice". Although there are many different versions of the Rosary, this is the version we grew up saying which includes the Fatima prayer.

Tip: Since tracks 3-7 are exactly the same (i.e. the 5 decades of the Rosary), download the MP3 file "Tracks 03-07" once, then make 4 more copies of the file, renaming each one slightly different than the previous. After downloading the other MP3 files, you should have 9 tracks total.
