BATCHO ---<BR/><BR/>"the rosary" is the chain of life . . . it links us with the prayers of our family, and of each other and with The Blessed Mother and through her with Jesus' prayer to The Father in The Holy Spirit . . . Father Patrick Peyton used to say: "The Family That Prayes Together Stays Together" as he urged the praying of "The Family Rosary" . . . <BR/><BR/>i come from the spiritual and litgical traidion of The Eastern Church, Orthodoxy . . .yet i pray The Rosary for all of the reasons i stated above, and most of all because it is the form of prayer that Our Lady specifically named and asked that we pray. and she asked this not once, but many times and in many places. so it is a prayer in which Mary joins in a special way as she intercedes for us in her own prayers . . . the rosary transcends "east and west" and it transcends denominations and "various faiths" . . . it is a prayer that begins here on our lips and in our hearts and ends on the lips and in the heart of Mary, the Mother of God in heaven . . . who could ignore such a powerful prayer?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037603787996669106.post-59793760573152889042008-12-31T17:10:00.000-06:002008-12-31T17:10:00.000-06:00Nice Site and Rosary bracelets.To answer your que...Nice Site and Rosary bracelets.<BR/><BR/>To answer your question the term Rosary bracelet gets about 22,000 searches a month.

I know that I had over 5,000 hits on my site this year from the words "Rosary Bracelet"<BR/><BR/>I don't know how 'hot' they would be considered, but I can say that I had very good sales during Christmas:<BR/><BR/>www.sthubertsrosary.com<BR/><BR/>Mostly semiprecious stones sold, and Fancy Agate, Snowflake Obsidian and Rose Quartz are the most popular stones. <BR/><BR/>Anonymous: I think it natural that people are attracted to particular colors or materials when they want to pray. I mean, you can pray in a cave, but its often easier to focus the heart in prayer when sitting in a grand cathedral. Praying with something that looks pretty and feels nice in the hand is only a help, but it isn't the prayer itself. Some grouse about the cost of building a beautiful church full of statues and carved decorations, but if it is a means to help others pray, the cost is worth it. <BR/><BR/>Of the glass Rosary bracelets, light blue tops any other color. I ran out of beads.<BR/><BR/>I know that many of my customers use them to pray and not to just wear something pretty and religious; I have lovely emails from many who tell me how nice it is to have a Rosary right there on their wrist so they can catch a moment of prayer. It reminds them to pray rather than worry. One of my customers works in a very stressful job in government in her state and has one made for each suit; she likes that they aren't overtly 'religious' looking so she doesn't have to worry about anyone getting bent out of shape over a gov't worker wearing religious jewelry on the job. She does use her bracelets for prayer, too - her job would giver her ulcers if she didn't stop and pray frequently.<BR/><BR/>One of my male customers gave his bracelet away to a clerk. After talking with him for a while, he discerned that the clerk needed it more than he did. He told me that it just seemed to be the right thing to do.<BR/><BR/>I'm much happier thinking that the Rosary itself is "hot" than any one type is "hot" for fashion or bragging's sake!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037603787996669106.post-38206323524666194482008-12-31T11:58:00.000-06:002008-12-31T11:58:00.000-06:00Tomcoll67Before condemning someone do you know for...Tomcoll67<BR/>Before condemning someone do you know for a fact that Maureen Sweeney did NOT receive an annulment of her first marriage.<BR/>MaxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037603787996669106.post-11280207749437844632008-12-31T09:37:00.000-06:002008-12-31T09:37:00.000-06:00Dawn, Might want to read up on Mrs. Sweeney-Kyle. ...Dawn, <BR/>Might want to read up on Mrs. Sweeney-Kyle.

Mary showed Maureen a Rosary with the Hail Mary beads shaped like teardrops and a replica of the pre-born child in each one asking her to tell the people that when they pray the Rosary on this special Rosary of the Unborn there will be a baby rescued from an abortion for each Hail Mary bead. Maureen has had these Rosaries made according to what she was shown and you can get one calling 440-327-4532. That is the United Hearts Gift Shop.

I'd like to point out that the modern church didn't do away with devotions as so many people think. The truth is Vatican II's document Sacrosanctum Concilium—The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy states," 13. Popular devotions of the Christian people are to be highly commended, provided they accord with the laws and norms of the Church, above all when they are ordered by the Apostolic See." There hasn't been a Pope since Vatican II who has not encouraged the rosary as a sincere form of devotion, especially Pope JPII. <BR/>Thanks<BR/>Peacefully,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037603787996669106.post-55127995886637626162008-12-30T13:16:00.000-06:002008-12-30T13:16:00.000-06:00Some of the most beautiful rosaries are at this si...Some of the most beautiful rosaries are at this site:<BR/><BR/>http://magnificatrosaries.com/index.html<BR/><BR/>I am saving my pennies to obtain the one at the top of this page:<BR/><BR/>http://magnificatrosaries.com/_wsn/page17.htmlMaggie Goffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02359407598534173765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037603787996669106.post-62553215367562334262008-12-30T11:22:00.000-06:002008-12-30T11:22:00.000-06:00Hail Joseph, pure of heart. the Lord has favored T...Hail Joseph, pure of heart. the Lord has favored Thee, blessed art Thou among men and blessed are the fruits of the love and protection You gave as head of the Holy Family.<BR/>Holy Joseph, virginal foster Father of God the Son and beloved husband of Mary Immaculate, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
