I’m wondering of the validity of praying the Rosary along with a recording. The ones I am referring to are like “Praying the Rosary with Fr. Pio, or Mother Teresa,” etc. They have wonderful, prayerful meditations between each Hail Mary and Mysteries. My problem with that is that they are recordings and you follow along a recording of the prayers. I feel like it is not real or valid since it is a recording. Does this question make sense?

Of course it is real. Mother Theresa or Padre Pio may not be praying it at that very moment, but YOU are. It’s really no different that praying the rosary with Mother Angelica and her nuns on EWTN. Those are recorded. You are the one meditating on the mysteries and saying the words with them; thus, you are really praying! Things like recordings are a wonderful tool to help us pray the rosary.
 
I like the meditated Rosaries I have heard with Father Groeschel, I did buy the recorded Rosary with Dana too, she’s a singer from Ireland, that’s fairly good too but I heard Father Groeschel’s version on the radio and thought it was good. I like his voice.
 
If it weren’t for rosary recordings, praying the Rosary would have been extremely difficult for me especially when i first started. I really like Father Groeschel’s Rosary recordings too.
As long as you are praying along, it is real! It’s not as if you were playing the recording and saying "here God, I’m going to let the recording do the praying for me " 😃

(Although, believe it or not, a few years ago I remember seeing some service on the Internet that offered to say your prayers for you digitally, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting. Now that wouldn’t count :rolleyes:)
 
I believe that praying the rosary anytime and anyway you pray it. 🙂
 
My mother got me a recording of Mother Angelica praying the Rosary. I love it.

praying the rosary recorded or not is absolutely fine, as long as your praying it, there are so many ways to pray the rosary these days, and opportunities - Congrats to you for praying the rosary - Keep it up

:gopray2:
 
In my own opinion, it is ok, you are actually saying the prayers, is like when hearing songs and praying along/singing along
 
Thank you all for the positive feedback. I really do like the meditations between the Hail Mary’s. They help me think far more deeply than if I just pray alone. I will look into the couple of links a couple of you submitted.
Blessing to all of you.
