'OUR LADY OF GOOD HELP, QUEEN OF HEAVEN'
If you are not familiar with this, the first approved (2010) apparition of our Lady in the United States, be sure and learn more about her by googling Our Lady of Good Help Shrine in Champion WI., either through our website or the internet. Her 1859 message is powerful, with a follow up 12 years later - to the day - you will not believe! It speaks to us today as we know not the hour.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE ROSARY
The first Hail Mary was brought to earth by Angel Gabriel to Mary. Paul VI called the rosary "a compendium of the Gospel." Pio called the rosary, "his weapon". At Fatima, Mary identified herself as, "I am the Lady of the Rosary", and continued, " I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend our Lord any more, for he is already to grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the rosary. Let them continue saying it every day."

HAND MADE TEARDROPS BY BASH

'GOD'S TEARDROPS of PROMISE'
Teardrops of rainbow colors, this 18 in necklace is a beautiful example of elegant simplicity! Black, matte beads are antique from Gablonz and hold a teardrop full of rainbow colors, God's teardrop filled with his promise in the symbol of the rain bow. Reminding us of God's love and how he suffers with us when we are in pain, yet he offers us the inner sign of promised hope!
+
Each color moves as you change your direction, each side is different. We have used antiqued metal filigree caps on the necklace and the earrings that come with the necklace. Very very limited, these hand made (dichroic glass) lampwork Basha beads! Each a work of art, never to be repeated.

SEE FULL COLLECTION

THE SISTERS OF BETHLEHEM (FRANCE)
Handmade by the sisters in the monastery of Mougeres France, using a local dolomite stone from the Pyrenees in the south of France. It is crushed then resin is added so the stone may be cast. The wonderful thing about this stone, once reconstituted is that it takes on a rare patina when painted or may be left in its more natural ivoried matte state.

... I have to make a rosary ...
I am so inspired to rosary making after seeing your article in Belle Armoire. How can you help me get started? I see your kits are sold out, but would that be the best way to start? Thank you. Sincerely yours, Judith Jensen (US)
.
Thank you Judith, the best way to get started is to buy some beads at your local bead store and start stringing them. No different than jewelry making in technique - just in the counting. Also see our pages on supplies & rosarymaking. Blessings, RW

~ VISITORS COMMENTS ~

... all the holy places ...
As you know, I've ordered a number of rosaries from the Guild and I took all of them with me to the Holy Land last June (during the very brief truce) and touched them to all the holy places we visited. In addition, I guess I visit your website just about every other day so.....I'm very, very familiar with your work.
+
I just had to beg the question. It just seems to me that as a matter of justice some credit should be given to the Guild, but I know that you all don't preoccupy yourselves with such banalities. It's just that I just love your work/creations, your philosophy, your prayerfulness, etc. and I just had to know. In Jesus and Mary, John Medina Corpus Christi, Tx

... shopping cart is just great! ...
The new shopping cart is just great! a huge improvement! I've been planning to order, and when I saw the post about the new system, I was eager to try! I can't get over how well it worked, because I've used electronic shopping carts before; I wish all were this fast and fluid. It worked perfectly. Maria K (Via Rosa)

... Jesus alone ...
We must pray without tiring, for the salvation of mankind does not depend on material success; nor on sciences that cloud the intellect. Neither does it depend on arms and human industries, but on Jesus alone.
St. Frances Xavier Cabrini

THE JESUS PRAYER ROSARY
by MICHAEL CLEARY SVD
Canterbury Press

Bible meditations for praying with beads. - The Jesus Prayer Rosary will be welcomed by the growing number of people who are discovering that rhythmic prayer with beads is a spiritually enriching and therapeutic experience. It will further enrich the spirituality of the many Christians who have found meditative repetition of the ancient Jesus Prayer to be a valuable devotional aid. This unique book brings together these two popular approaches to prayer and worship.

Michael Cleary is parish priest of the Church of St-Mary-on-the-Quay, Bristol (UK). to purchase, go to Amazon:
