After being inspired by a dream she had, Gigi Taylor created a unique way to pray the rosary using a small prayer booklet called “The Illustrated Rosary, Page by Page and Bead by Bead ”. On Tuesday, August 24, Taylor will discuss the rosary and her booklet on the live CatholicTV talk show This is the Day.
The CatholicTV Network's signature talk show, This Is The Day, is on every day of the week on America's Catholic Television Network™. The show airs live every Tuesday and Friday at 10:30 a.m. (Eastern) with rebroadcasts all week. Father Robert Reed and Jay Fadden host with Kevin Nelson in the Catholic News Center. The show features interviews with Catholic celebrities, Catholic news, and discussion of Catholic current affairs. Every episode is archived at its show page at CatholicTV.com.
The idea of "The Illustrated Rosary" originally came to Taylor from a dream she had shortly after the death of her 11-year-old son. Gigi’s son, Will, was non-verbal and Gigi had previously programmed the Rosary into Will’s electronic communication device. Gigi and Will would then pray the Rosary together.
"The Illustrated Rosary" reminds Catholics that the Rosary is a prayer rooted in scripture. In it, the various mysteries of the Rosary are accompanied by scriptural texts associated with each mystery and accompanying images which can be used to assist during prayer.
