Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:6-7

Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, pray for us


.


Our entire perfection consists in being conformed, united and consecrated to Jesus Christ. Hence the most perfect of all devotions is undoubtedly that which conforms, unites and consecrates us most perfectly to Jesus Christ. Now, since Mary is of all creatures the one most conformed to Jesus Christ, it follows that among all devotions that which most consecrates and conforms a soul to our Lord is devotion to Mary, his Holy Mother, and that the more a soul is consecrated to her the more will it be consecrated to Jesus Christ.” -- Pope John Paul II, Rosarium Virginis Mariae


~~~~~

In honor of Our Blessed Mother's special feast day, I will give this rosary away to one reader. For a chance to win, leave your name and a way to contact you (it is imperative that you leave your email address if you do not have a blog) in the comment box -- or email me --by Sunday at 8 p.m., and I will draw one name.

I have had these beautiful pink beads in my stash for a few months, waiting for just the right opportunity to use them. The Aves are 5 x 8 mm rondelles and the Paters are 8 x 10 mm rondelles, both in facted pink glass. The Paters are capped with silver flower petals. The center is an Immaculate Queen image, with the words "Immaculate Heart of Mary" stamped in the back. The crucifix is a beautiful design with a picot edge.

  15. You don't see many pink glass rosaries! I had one for my First Holy Communion, and kept it with me thru a loss of faith (teen years) and back again. But then it fell out of my pocket on a roller coaster ride I really DID NOT WANT TO BE ON with my young son who was barely tall enough to ride. He looked up at me with those longing eyes... and had a great time, next to his white-knuckled mom.
