What is a "Family Rosary"

A rosary (prayer beads) is an important tool in each Catholic's life. I will make a piece for you any member of your family will cherish. Each of your family members are represented by their birth month colors in Swarovski crystals! Any number of family members can be represented...mother, father, sister, brother, son, daughter, grandmother, grandfather etc. Let me create a special family heirloom for someone special in your life.

What the Rosary IS:
Padre Pio, St. Pio of Pietrelcina: "The Rosary is THE WEAPON."

St. Louis de Montfort: "The Rosary is the most powerful prayer to touch the Heart of Jesus, Our Redeemer, who so loves His Mother."

Pope Paul V: "The Rosary is a treasure of graces."

Pope John Paul II: "The Rosary is my favorite prayer...The simple prayer of the Rosary marks the rhythm of human life."The Rosary Prayers are powerful and efficacious in seeking Christ and as weapons against the evil one. The very power of the words themselves can lead those who feel weak in their prayer life toward a deeper relationship with Jesus, through his Blessed Mother (who always and only points the way to Him), by creating a general mood, and an attitude and posture of prayer, through which their open spirits can learn from the Holy Spirit.

How to Pray the Rosary:
1. While holding the crucifix make the Sign of the Cross and then recite the Apostles Creed.

2. Recite the Our Father on the first large bead.3.On each of the three small beads recite a Hail Mary for an increase of faith, hope and charity.Click here for more info...http://www.theworkofgod.org/Devotns/Rosary/how2pray.htm#How%20to%20pray
