"The Church is not merely “a human enterprise,” but rather “a love story,” said Pope Francis, "and the faithful must remember that it is only in the path of love that the Church can grow. The Church began “in the heart of the Father,” + “So this love story began, a story that has gone on for so long, and is not yet ended,” he explained. “We, the women and men of the Church, we are in the middle of a love story: each of us is a link in this chain of love. And if we do not understand this, we have understood nothing of what the Church is.” |

13 Listen, my faithful children: open up your petals, like roses planted near running waters; 14 Send up the sweet odor of incense, break forth in blossoms like the lily Send up the sweet odor of your hymn of praise; shared by Fr Joe |

There was a period in the history of bead making - a few centuries ago - when pressed beads became very popular. Molten glass was drawn into long thin rods and cooled. These rods could be as long as 20 meters and as thin as 1 mm. They were cut into 'canes' which were about 3 feet long. (small seed beads were made this way and called 'drawn beads') + This more workable length allowed the bead maker to soften the glass then press it into new shapes with the use of tongs that actually molded the glass into interesting beads. They became so good at their craft that it was hard to tell the difference between faceted beads that were cut and those that were molded. Today, many of these shapes from the old molds are being used again and we are very excited about the opportunity to offer some of these to you in various forms. |

I have been living in the Washington DC area for 9 years and one of my most profound prayer experiences was when I went down to the Pentagon on September 11th at 8:30 PM. I had to go out because the news made it seem like the world was ending. The search was still on for survivors so the roads were not yet blocked and barricaded. I lived 4 miles from the Pentagon then. Now I live barely 2 miles away. I tell you there was a rosary made of human beings linked by hands that night. It was the most powerful prayer moment I have ever felt. Brenda D (VA) + ... my favourite prayer ... Twenty-four years ago, on 29 October 1978, scarcely two weeks after my election to the See of Peter, I frankly admitted: “The Rosary is my favourite prayer. A marvellous prayer! Marvellous in its simplicity and its depth. John Paul II + ... thank you for making this purchase easy ... "What a GREAT website and nice wonderful service. Thank you so much for making this purchase easy and enjoyable. I checked out at least 6 other Rosary Bead Websites and chose yours for the original designs, great prices and beautiful presentation." Blessings to you, Summer B (USA) + ... I'll become a Catholic yet! ... "I love your site and look at it often for my own inspiration and upliftment. I am a bead artist who recently discovered the Rosary as a prayer habit. Have been making Rosaries for my friends, mostly protestants, but hey, it can't hurt! Thanks for your beautiful site. I'll become a Catholic yet! In Christ, Ruth R. (NC) + ... his first communion in 1908 ... I've been collecting rosaries for quite a long time but none of them are quite as grand as what you produce. I do have the rosary that was given to my Father when he made his First Communion in 1908. Keep up your beautiful work. Joan M. (MD) + ... as our Lady asks ... I was at Catholicity Chat room and was told this is a wonderful site for beautiful rosaries. I agree. I am interested in the world rosary and would like to pray along with all those who are praying as Our Lady asks us. I make mission plastic rosaries and distribute them all over the world. Gladys S. (PA) + ... my rosary most dear ... Of all my Catholic religious items, I hold my rosaries most dear. [when]I am upset, I go to my rosary...Gods blessing... Mimi C. (PA) + ... it will be used daily ... Rare old wine arrived - and has a warmth and softness that was not apparent in the picture. I knew when I first saw it that you were making it for me... You can be sure that it will be used daily. I am a member of the Legion of Mary so your work will be in constant use in the service of our Lady. Thanks again, so much. God Bless Sharon G (GA) + ... an 'Old World Look ... Wow! Beautiful work! It took me two hours of looking back at all the selections to decide which rosary (actually rosaries) I wanted to purchase. They have an "Old World" look to them that I really find attractive. Can't wait to receive mine! Jennifer B (IN) |
