Today at church, we had visitors from the Holy Land.
They brought rosaries with them, and it reminded me of one I had back in 2022. I ended up giving that one to my mother, which made it even more special in its own way.
Today, I was blessed to receive another one.
The daily rosary has been one of those small things that has quietly changed my life. It keeps me grounded and humble and it slows me down. It also brings me closer to God.
Grateful to have this with me again. π God Bless and happy Sunday stackers.
Lovely!!! Please keep me in your prayers @Car and I'll do the same :)
Great to see this. Prayer is how we take care of our mental and spiritual health. A lot of people these days recommend "meditation" which imo is harmful and is pushed by people who sense that there is something missing in secular society but don't want to admit the need to return to pre Enlightenment wisdom to address the God-sized hole in the human heart.
We are criminally ignorant and ill informed about the pre-enlightenment world. We gained many things but lost many as well. Been learning a lot about this recently and dare I say... it is enlightening.

It reminds me of the rosary I had as a child. The wooden beads wear nicely with use. I can't lie and claim mine was well worn, but my grandmother's was.
This is really beautiful π I'm so glad you got one from the Holy Land. It was definitely meant to be
A few years ago I don't think I would have to context to understand why this helps you. I can get it now
Growing up as a catholic, reciting the rosary was something I could do effortlessly but as I grew up, I canβt remember the last time I did.
I feel my faith is down as I experience the world. My rosary now feels more like a prop.
