Not Your Grandma’s Rosaries: Powerful Prayer Beads Made with Modern Style

This post contains affiliate or associate links with several businesses (which means if you shop through the links, I earn a small commission). As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

The Rosary is a powerful prayer.  Many Catholics and Christians pray it and find it to be an incredible way to grow closer to God and stronger in faith.

With today’s technology, you NEVER have to pray a Rosary alone!

I have often reached for my phone and played one of the many led Rosaries in the Hallow App!

I do this for different reasons, but one was when I was tucking my children to bed – I found it really helped them calm down and fall asleep!

You can try Hallow for FREE by using this link!  

I highly recommend Hallow for starting your day and for tucking the kids in at night!

I had an incredible experience with the Rosary last summer – you have got to hear about! The Power of One Rosary is a miracle story – if you like reading true stories that will boost your hope and faith – that is definitely how I would describe that post!

If you want to know more about why many faithful pray the Rosary, I suggest reading 13 Reasons Why The Rosary is Powerful.

This post showcases many Catholic artisans’ handmade Rosaries – for all ages and personalities!  Give someone the gift of a Rosary – and maybe purchase one for yourself as well!

“Give me an army saying the Rosary and I will conquer the world.” ~ Blessed Pope Pius IX

The Rosary is the Bible on a String

If you’re looking for advice… let me introduce you If you’re looking for advice… let me introduce you to Mother, I mean Saint, Teresa of Calcutta…

#wisewords #CatholicSaints #catholiccoloringpages #MotherTeresa #saintquotes
Mother Teresa gives the BEST advice! Smile at one Mother Teresa gives the BEST advice!

Smile at one another!!!

Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.

Give yourself fully to God! He will use you to accomplish great things!

What advice from Mother Teresa is your favorite? What advice would you add from Saint Teresa of Calcutta?

This Rosary is available from @dellamadonnarosaries ; quite a few quotes are in the book Be Yourself: a Journal for Catholic Girls

Cabbage.Patch. Diary. What I had v. what I needed… Cabbage.Patch. Diary. What I had v. what I needed…
When I discovered this in my basement, my daughter grabbed it and ran off… I still have some speed left in me. “Secrets” recovered 😅.

Writing in a diary or a journal is much different than writing and sharing on social media… especially for kids and teens. Dr. Leonard Sax (author of The Collapse of Parenting) shares in his talks how writing in a diary or journal is living… but writing and posting is performing.

The young need the space to write out of the public eye.

Also… remember the Cabbage Patch Kids 😂!?

The Padre Pio museum and the shrine grounds are a great place to pray and learn more about this anything but boring Saint!
And I have to say we all had a blast looking at the nostalgic candy, ordering our ice cream and playing pinball at The Peppermint Stick!

In 2016 I listened to Father Pio Mandato recount t In 2016 I listened to Father Pio Mandato recount this story and I couldn’t help but laugh 😂.

Father Pio Mandato was able to visit Padre Pio a few times as a boy with his Grandfather. He remembered how Padre Pio in the presence of some Capuchins and laymen, Padre Pio enjoyed the fellowship and he loved to tell jokes and make his friends laugh.

What a joy to know that those in heaven have a sense of humor!

Saint Padre Pio, pray for us!

When I was growing up my friend used to invite me When I was growing up my friend used to invite me to go to “fellowship” with her at their church. That was not a word or idea I was familiar with… 

Later I was taught that faith is a gift… but I didn’t truly understand that until it was faith that was keeping me hanging on…
Having friends to share prayer intentions with and who will not only pray with you but laugh and become your community is priceless,
5 Stars: Highly recommend!

Let us pray together for our priests! In the name Let us pray together for our priests! In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Saint Teresa of Avila is credited with this quote: “Behind each priest, there is a demon fighting for his fall. If we have the language to criticize them, we must have twice as much to pray for them”.

The parish I have been attending for over 20 years has always been blessed either such wonderful priests. I am so grateful, and if I’m being honest, quite sad to see this one go on to another assignment.

Let us fervently pray for all Catholic priests… for they truly help us know and love Jesus Christ more.

God bless Father Windle … and @irishclan7 we loved the ice cream truck at his farewell. Our twins had actually made up a song they would sing on pancake breakfast days… perhaps one day I’ll convince them to sing it for you or for Father Windle 😉 

If you’ve read this far, comment the name of a priest you are praying for!
