Back in November 2023, I announced a wonderful new resource: a booklet, Sanctissimum Rosarium in Cantu, that sets the Latin prayers of the Rosary to Gregorian chant psalm tones, in order to make the chanting of it very easy to do. All that would be needed for a chanted Rosary—the Apostles’ Creed, the announcing of the mysteries, the Pater Noster, the Ave Maria, the Gloria Patri, the Salve Regina (simple, solemn, monastic), and the prayer after the Rosary—was included.

The reception was overwhelming. Many found it ideal for long hikes or pilgrimages, a rosary rally, or even the long drive to Mass on Sunday, where the additional time involved in singing the prayers would not feel out of place, as it might in a standard group or individual recitation.

However, certain readers contacted the publisher and suggested a larger selection of chants. We listened carefully to the wish lists, and got to work!

Our newly-released second edition—a conveniently-sized 5” x 7” book with a new cover—has more than twice the content.
