Embracing October: Rosary Bracelets!

In this glorious month of October, when the world is awash in golden light,, we celebrate Our Lady of the Rosary!

Last week was the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary (on October 7), which also happens to mark the victory at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. 

So we get a whole MONTH dedicated to Our Lady and the powerful rosary. I’m not a theologian, so I’ll leave it to the experts to explain why we have a whole month dedicated to Our Lady’s holy rosary. Here’s a fabulous article!

Now, one aspect of the Catholic faith, that I find totally fantastic, is that we use tangibles to express spiritual reality. Something like the rosary gives us something concrete that we can hold in our hands to help us spiritually reach the heavens. 

Our Lady of Fatima said to, “Pray the rosary daily to obtain peace in the world.”

What could be an easier reminder to pray our daily rosary than by…

Wearing a rosary bracelet!

Not only does it gently remind us to get those decades in, but it can also be a fabulous conversation starter to teach people about the rosary and introduce them to its power. 

So… 

Here are some tasteful, lovely rosary bracelets to shop and (might I add), they make perfect gifts for birthdays, Christmas, and Sacraments.
