Shower of Roses – rosary, bracelet

$32.00$73.00

Inspired by St. Therese’s shower of roses quote, the subtle pinks transition to a deep red; the roses and thorns of life. Made from durable and flexible steel wire, this rosary is set to last.

The perfect gift for all Catholic moms on mothers day, or for any girl. The genuine stone beads add a weight and gravitas to the rosary that makes it totally unique from most other rosaries.

Please note that each rosary will be unique and the design might change in practice, but not in spirit, over time. Centerpieces and crucifixes might change, but should be noted in the photos. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at outpouringoftrust@gmail.com!

 

In the unlikely event that this rosary should break, simply gather all the beads you can find and email me. You only pay for shipping and the replacement of missing parts; major beads and the medals.

Description

St. Therese once said, “I will send down a shower of roses from the heavens; I will spend my heaven doing good upon earth”. If she who is the Little Flower promised that, how much more true is it of the most beautiful rose in God’s garden; Mary. 

In the early days of our spiritual lives we receive many graces, but to become perfect imitators of Christ, we must become like Him in all things, even death. We must take up our cross and follow Him. That is why the rosary transitions from light pink to deep red.

But when we take on the red sufferings of our Cross, we are never alone. Mary, your guardian angel, all the Saints are there. They provide a sweetness as beautiful as the roses to help us in our suffering, reminding us of the goodness of God even when He seems far away.

This rosary is about seeing the graces showered down upon us, our call and ability to shower roses down on our loved ones, and our ability to unite our sufferings to Jesus on the Cross. And it depends on the day. Draw near near to your mother’s heart and bring your cares to her.

——–

At 16 inches long, with 8mm beads, these rosaries are about the same size as a standard rosary. The rosary is assembled with 49-strand steel beading wire, crimping beads, and wire protectors, so it is super strong.

Because this rosary is made with stone beads, it has a weight to it and retains ambient cooler room temperate, which is really awesome to feel when you’re praying; it always made me focus more on what I was saying. And then as you pray the stones warm up from your body heat.

Please remember that all things can break with excessive use. Under normal, conscientious use, this rosary will last a very long time, but, for instance, if you keep this rosary in a tight pocket every day, all day and get it crushed under you or against something, the small glass spacers can break and the steel wire will be under strain and can stretch and even break.

These repairs can be made, and I would be delighted to do so, but as time goes on, I might not have extra beads or I might be gone. So do be gentle and take good care of your rosary.

 

Features of the rosary:

Center piece: 3/4″x1/2″ silver tone Miraculous Medal with roses, double sided

Crucifix: 2″x1-1/4″ silver tone crucifix with cherubs

Hail Mary beads: 10 different stones from agate to jade to rhodonite. May vary slightly depending on availability of the stones, but will always have a smooth gradient.

Our Father beads: 10mm Malaysian jade with silver bead caps and clear quartz spacers

Spacers: clear czech glass seed

With a little bit of practice, you can easily undo/redo the clasp on this rosary bracelet so you can pray it anywhere. The short strand of beads makes it perfect for holding it in the palm of your hand and keeps it from getting caught on anything.

On the bracelet you have the Benedictine Crucifix (protection against demons and temptation in general) and the Miraculous Medal (Mary asked that all wear it).

Stylish, practical, and comfortable, this rosary bracelet has been my go-to rosary for months.

Bracelet measurements – I found the best way to measure my wrist size is to use my phone charger cable because it simulates the thickness of the beads when on the wrist. Wrap the cord around your wrist and make it a comfortable size. Mark (pencil/pen/sharpie) the cord, then measure it flat.

Choose the bracelet size closest to your measurement, rounding down as the beading wire will relax and get larger with constant wear, especially with showering.

7″ – The size in the photos on my wrist. Fits snugly directly against the skin.

7.5″ – what I’m finding to be the average wrist size.

8″ – larger wrist size.

Feel free to ask for a specific size if these don’t work! Extra beads are added between the crucifix and clasp and are adjusted to order.

Your Impact

For every order, 10% of all proceeds will go to organizations who provide resources to at risk women before and after birth.

The first is The Pregnancy Care Center of Rockford. They area a local organization to me,  providing resources and care for free to women in crisis pregnancies, from ultrasounds to parenting classes to post abortion healing.

The second is the Sisters of Life, a newer religious community founded in 1991 in New York to promote the dignity of every human life. They have houses for women to come live with them during and after their pregnancy as they get back on their feet, as well as counseling for post abortion healing, and other missions.
