In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Stephen Rouhana on his book A Rosary for Religious and Restless Minds: The Structured Contemplative Rosary – A New Method of Contemplation within The Holy Rosary (September 22, 2025)

This book introduces a new method to pray the Rosary that helps the person praying stay focused on the lives of Jesus and Mary. The method takes short phrases from Sacred Scripture and Church writings and inserts them into the Hail Mary/Holy Mary sequence. This keeps the mind from wandering and/or brings it back if it does wander. The author recounts his difficulties praying the Rosary before this method and how the method resolved them.
