Shower of Roses – rosary

Description

St. Therese once said that she wanted to “send down a shower of roses from the heavens” as her time in eternity; she wants to intercede and obtain for us all the graces necessary for our sanctification so that we too can be with God in Heaven.

This is Mary’s goal as well.

In this rosary, walk with Mary and reflect on the graces God has showered down in your life, and pray for those intentions which are dear to your heart. As you journey from the white beads in the beginning, reflect on the graces of consolation when you felt God was near, but as the colors gently transition to the vibrant red, think about the sufferings that are nonetheless graces as well. In one of my favorite quotes from Fr. Jaques Phillippe he says, “stop dreaming of a life without suffering or conflict. That is the life of Heaven and not of earth”.

In the early days of our spiritual lives we will receive many beautiful graces, but that is not the end of the story. 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.

But when we take on the Cross, we are never alone. Mary is there, your guardian angel is there, 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 both about seeing the graces showered down upon us, but also our call and ability to shower roses down on our loved ones. It’s a rosary of receiving and petition. On the days when it is too painful to reflect on the sorrows and sufferings, simply use this rosary for intercession. Draw near Mary’s heart and bring all 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.  While I do strength test every rosary, it is still a handmade piece and prone to human error. So, should it break, simply gather all the beads you can find and contact me and I’ll gladly repair it for you for free sans shipping and the replacement of major beads (if you loose the spacers, don’t even worry about it).

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.

The beading wire stretches slightly as it is used (this is normal – it wears in like good leather boots) so you will still be able to slide the beads along as you pray.

I’m so excited to release this rosary! All the pieces came together so well.

Features of the rosary:

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