There is a story behind every rosary I make. Every bead, centerpiece, and crucifix is selected based upon a central theme or idea.
Today I want to share the story behind my blue and red glass bead single decade rosary. Most of my rosaries are constructed out of plastic beads mainly to keep them lighter in your hands when you pray but sometimes holding something with more weight to it can be soothing. Plus I believe there is a tactile element to praying the rosary. I often find myself massaging the beads between my fingers as I move along in prayer reflecting on Jesus' life.
But did you know you can use the rosary for more than saying the rosary? The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is another beautiful prayer and you can join Drew Mariani in saying it daily on Relevant Radio. In fact, he is the one who helped me fall deeper in love with this prayer and this rosary is inspired by my love for this prayer.
The blue and red symbolize the water and blood flowing from Jesus' pierced side. Blue and red remind me of the great mercy of God and how merciful He has been to me. I do have rosaries with a centerpiece with the traditional Divine Mercy image but for this rosary I selected Mary and the back of the centerpiece reads "Immaculate Heart of Mary Pray for Us".
I chose this centerpiece because it was Mary who drew me even closer to Jesus and to understanding more fully God's mercy and how He is at work in my life. The blue beads have a shimmer inside that remind me of the froth of ocean waves and that brings an added sense of peace....and I do love the sound of the clink of the beads.
