Catholic Jules

My faith really started on a trip to Adoration. I was on call at the hospital and there was a chapel just down the road. On my way in I found a pamphlet on “how to pray The Rosary”. Although I prayed the Rosary nightly as a child I never memorized or understood the mysteries. After that trip I found a beautiful rosary that I just kept wanting to reach for, keep with me, and pray. Of course the graces that come from praying The Holy Rosary took over from there.

With every rosary purchased, I include the same version of the pamphlet I found in the adoration chapel, along with the 15 promises of the Rosary.

My prayer and mission for Catholicjules is to make a beautiful rosary that will have the same effect on you. A rosary that will make you want to keep reaching for it. A rosary that will keep your hand in the hand of our Blessed Mother as she leads us to her Redeeming Son, Our Lord, and Savior, Jesus Christ. A rosary that will help lead YOU on YOUR walk with God. A rosary that will light YOUR soul on fire. A rosary that will raise the whole Church a little higher. A rosary that will bring Glory to the Almighty Father.

One could think these are high hopes for a rosary, and they are. But I know power isn't in the beads, but in God and what He can do in us when we turn to Him and pray a Rosary.

When meditating on the mysteries and holding the beads, we are transported spiritually to the time of Jesus. It is our Bible on a string. And I hope you can envision Mary holding your hand when you are holding your rosary.

I pray this sacramental brings you comfort like a weighted blanket as you slide to the next Hail Mary. And that one of these designs speak to your soul; a particular sacrament that you are drawn to, a saint you find as a friend, a color that reminds you of someone you love, or a powerful gift you want to share with someone else.

You are seen, known, and loved by the God of the universe. Xoxo
