Rosary means ‘crown of roses‘, and that is what I’d like to offer Christ to replace his crown of thorns he suffered for me and all of us on that cross so many years ago. I know the rosary was originally created to offer prayer by Catholic monks, but it is a good practice and reminder to pray daily and devote thoughtful presence to God and His Divinity.
I am not Catholic, but since my conversion to Christ and becoming coram Deo (before God), I have longed to wear a rosary, with beads representing prayers and praise, and so that I might have a constant remembrance to pray often.
I also would like to proclaim my faith to others so that they might come to know the saving and healing love of God as I have. I think for the beads I will use something like this, because I absolutely love mother of pearl. And silver.
I also like the idea of making these for friends, kids, and maybe even soldiers oversees (sent with psalms written by the warrior David perhaps?) to offer comfort and guidance in combat.
My 44th birthday is coming up and I think it fitting that for this master birthday, I am renewing my faith in God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, though I am sorry that it has taken me so long to do so.
Dear God, I love and worship You in all Your forms. Lavish me with Your love and Your Light and Your truth. That is all I want and need. Now and forever.~~<3
And here is my completed rosary~
