My best friend is a Christian.  She was given this beautiful rosary by a customer at our job. 

I mentioned to her it's so beautiful. How blessed to be given a Rosary!! 

She stated she doesn't believe in idol worshipping and gifted it to me. 

I was estatic!! I am Catholic. I would display and pray with it proudly.

 My question is; do I get this blessed or may I bless it with Holy Water?

I can pray the rosary just fine but it’s the reading that get me so I was wondering if I can pray the rosary without the readings

I am agnostic but I like the way rosary's look, would it be offensive or something of that nature if I were to make them?

My paracord 550 rosary 20 decades (and another with 5 decades)

Just curious. When did the Miraculous Medal Centerpieces started/began to circulate?

A few weeks ago I read about the life of St. Mark Ji Tianxiang. Canonized by Pope St. John Paul II, St Mark was martyred during the Boxer Rebellion in China. It was his 30 year struggle with Opium addiction that caught my attention. My youngest son died from an overdose seven years ago, so I’m always on the look out for prayers and devotions to saints that are patrons of those who suffer from addiction. I have St. Maximillian Kolbe Chaplets in my shop, but I really wanted to add and promote St Mark as well. 

Imagine my surprise when I could not find a chaplet to this saint! Not only that, I couldn’t find any type of medal either! Since there is no chaplet I decided to make a Rosary, but that meant creating my own center medal. It took a few tries before I was able to figure out how to use the glass and frames without glue sticking out the sides. I also had to learn how to print the images small enough to fit the frame, but still clear enough to be seen. But a lot of prayer and trial and error, and I finally have my “Addicts’ Rosary”.

St. Mark Ji Tianxiang Rosary

I supplied the crucifix and center to a jewelry designer. She hand painted the Our Father beads with the Olympic rings and then made the rosary. I think she did a beautiful job.

I had this rosary made for a friend who earned a silver medal at the Paris Olympics. 

I just recently found this antique rosary, but I don't recognize what the centerpiece is supposed to represent.  It could very well just be a random design.  But I thought I would ask here if anyone recognized it

Is this centerpiece just a random design or does it represent something?

I make my own rosary beads.

I got this rosary during one of my two trips to Medjugore (95 and 97). Once we got back to the U.S. a woman in the shuttle with us gifted me with a Fatima Rosary. 

At some point I decided to not promote unapproved apparitions. That’s when I switched out the Medjugorje rosary centerpiece for the Fatima centerpiece. 

At some point around the same general time period some people had a box of used religious items and was told I could take something from the box. I took the very worn Holy Face medal and at some point thereafter I attached the Holy Face medal to the centerpiece. I like the effect of the worn centerpiece…to me it accentuates what Our Lord did for us. 

Now I feel a little bad about the Fatima Rosary being “Frankensteined” for another Rosary. But, on the other hand, I probably would have given the Fatima rosary away…or something like that. I can’t change the past. 

This is one of my favorite rosaries…probably the one I have prayed on the most.

Newest Rosary 

I recently obtained this well made rosary via eBay. I would have preferred to purchase a brand new rosary but I find that a lot of the new rosaries are not to my taste. I was vaguely aware of the vintage/antique market. I had mixed feelings about buying something that may have been previously blessed. The more I read about devout individuals who obtain many of these rosaries from estate sales and their history of interest in rosaries the more I was okay with it. I would prefer that the families would keep them and pass them on…but that’s not always the world we live in… this a way of helping to ensure that the rosaries get into the hands of people who will pray on them—rather than being disrespectfully discarded.

I don’t typically like really expensive new rosaries…I like quality but it doesn’t need to be super expensive. 

I had a lot of choices. I went with this one because of 

1) The corpus resonated with me…The close ups provided by the seller showed a fairly detailed face and an expression that moved me. In real life it’s impossible for me to see…but my own photographs reveal the same quality in the facial expression.

2) The centerpiece has clearly delineated detail and I find it to be respectful to Our Lady. The centerpiece is also quite small…but is still very clean and detailed when zoomed. This is also true of the grotto scene on the reverse side. Bernadette’s candle is very clear when zoomed.

3) The beads are to my liking and I like the quirky Pater beads.

4) The connections between the beads are excellent and probably the best of all my rosaries in this respect.

5) Though aged, the aging metal on the center piece is not so much that it distracts me in prayer.

Lourdes Cocoa Wood Rosary from France

This is one of my favorite rosaries. I got it during a visit to the Blue Army Shrine in New Jersey in the late 1990s.
I like that the little Our Father medals each have something different on them and each side has something different.
A friend went to the Vatican and gave me a crucifix that had been blessed by Pope St.
John Paul II. I removed the original crucifix and replaced it with the one blessed by St.
JP II.
I think of it as a rosary that I like to meditate with using the CCC...but I don't use it for that exclusively.

Blue Army Shrine Rosary

The first one was a lovely voice in a dream telling me to pray the rosary. At this stage in my life I’ve been pretty new to it, prayed it sometimes but never thought much about it (I used to be protestant). Ive been receiving much grace, good thoughts, spiritual wisdom, dreams. At some point I started asking more about my guardian angel, and I asked how I can be sure that this is not a demon in disguise masquerading as an angel. The answer was also in a dream, a simple sentence spoken by a kind voice: “If you want to be sure, pray the rosary.” (Note, I NEVER thought about its importance, I treated it like one prayer of many) Lately I’ve stopped praying it because I kept having intrusive thoughts during the reciting and at some point it just felt like a headache. Today I’ve been thinking about buying pearls for a rosary, but I told to myself: “I’ve not been faithful with the rosary, I’m not worthy of a new one.” Immediately in the same moment I heard something say in my thoughts, a loud sentence: “But you can recover.” I immediately asked: (because I started noticing that there’s more to rosary than I can see) “Why is the rosary so important?” I was told, that it’s for my salvation. I am a huge sinner, I’ve been disappointing Christ for 6 years being lukewarm. Is it only for MY salvation? Or is it for all? Is there a theology for the rosary and why it’s so important?

I’ve been having spiritual encounters, all telling me to pray the rosary. I’m confused, is there a theology regarding salvation and the rosary?
