This is such a gorgeous, meaningful, keepsake rosary made with all the birthstones of grandparents, parents, children and grandchildren...representing 4 generations. The Sacred Heart of Jesus has significance for this family, so a centerpiece depicting the Sacred Heart was chosen along with the beautiful filigree crucifix and Miraculous Medal.

Who is the king of your heart?
Today we celebrate the Solemnity of Christ the King, bringing this liturgical year to a close. Can you believe Advent begins next week? Before we jump ahead to Advent, take a moment to reflect on who is king over your heart and your life. +
+
Does Christ reign over.....
Your thoughts?
Your actions?
Your choices?
Your family?
Your relationships?
Your work?
+
+
In order to make the Kingdom of Christ a reality, He must reign over ALL parts of your life, not just some of them. Today is a good day to reflect on what parts of your life you may be holding back from Him. Prayerfully consider those areas where there may be a lack of trust, or fear, and surrender them to Him. +
+
Let Christ be your King and give Him full reign over your heart and your life! +
+
“For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11

Do now, do now, what you will wish to have done when you’re moment comes to die. ~St. Angela Merici +
+
+
What things are in your heart that you would like to do before you die? With November being the month of All Souls, and thinking about my own mortality, I think it is important to evaluate your life and prayerfully consider what God is calling you to do. Then, do not delay! Get to it! +

As we honor our veterans today, our hearts are filled with gratitude for their dedicated, selfless service. +
+
+
This beautiful single decade keepsake rosary was recently made for an army veteran who is now serving our community as a police officer. The black beads are onyx, with ruby glass accents around the Pater. +
+
+
What makes this piece extra special is the St. Michael medal that hangs with the St. Benedict crucifix and Miraculous Medal. It has the seal of the United States Army. The seal embodies the Army's ideals of loyalty, vigilance, perseverance, truth, courage, zeal, fortitude, remembrance, determination, constancy, achievement, dignity, and honor.

November is dedicated to the poor souls in purgatory. Over the years, as we have learned more and grown in our faith, we have adopted the tradition of praying this prayer of Saint Gertrude the Great every day during the month of November.
.
.
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family.
AMEN

The rosary has been in the hands of the saints for over 800 years. If you want to be a saint, it should be in yours, too. ~Donald H. Calloway, MIC
.
This quote comes from the book, “10 Wonders of the Rosary”, by Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC. He contends that, “all saints know the power of the rosary.” .
Here are a few... St. Dominic
St. Bernardine of Siena
St. Anthony Mary Claret
St. Teresa of Calcutta
St. Louis de Montfort
Pope St. John Paul II
St. Pio of Pietrelcina
St. Thérèse of Lisieux
Pope St. Pius X
St. Francis de Sales
St. Louise de Marillac
. .
The rosary is a powerful devotion for a good reason. It never fails! The Blessed Mother herself gave this gift of prayer as a spiritual weapon for our times.
