In this month of October, let us consider the beautiful prayer of the Rosary as a means that we too can use to draw closer to God by meditating on the great mysteries of our salvation. The Rosary, at its core, is a contemplative prayer where we meditate on the life, passion, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ through the eyes of His beloved mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. The repetitive nature of the Hail Marys provides a rhythmic backdrop that allows the faithful to dive deep into these mysteries, drawing them closer to both Jesus and Mary.
Available in the Shrine Gift Shop are handmade twine rosaries that come in an assortment of colors–Stained glass, Field of Violets, Colors of Our Lady of Czestochowa, Desert Camo, DeColores, the Eucharistic Congress Colors, Plum, and the Hail Mary. They each have a Black Madonna medal attached; as well as an Our Lady of Czestochowa holy card.
