Beaded Christian Jewelry
Q.After thorough search at deja.com, it was apparent that the subject has not been recently discussed. I would be most appreciative if any of you folks would comment as to the current feelings of wearing Rosaries as jewelry. I'm doing some extensive historical research into the subject but would appreciate any comments or further leads you guys might have. I have noticed many "perky Goths" wearing Rosaries and on acquiring why' they were they said... "they're Koowel" yet it appears within the youth drug culture they are used as a protest or to 'diss' the establishment.
A.I was always taught as a child that Catholic Rosaries were for prayer, not for jewelry. Site for many, many different ways to pray the Rosary: gopher://wiretap.spies.com/00/Library/Religion/Catholic/Rituals/rosary.txt The Fifteen Promises of the Virgin Mary to those who recite the Rosary (Revealed to St. Dominic and Blessed Alan): 1) Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive signal graces. 2) I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary. 3) The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies. 4) It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of people from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means. 5) The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish. 6) Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its Sacred Mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life. 7) Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church. 8) Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plentitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the Saints in Paradise. 9) I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary. 10) The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven. 11) You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary. 12) All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities. 13) I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death. 14) All who recite the Rosary are my children, and brothers and sisters of my only Son, Jesus Christ. 15) Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.
