Our Lady of Guadalupe in Lapis, Amazonite, Howelite order & Olive Wood

One of the many things on my slow slippery slide to getting lost so many years ago was a fascination with “Malas”.   
  
It wasn't really the malas themselves that had me fascinated, but the beauty of the stones on the Buddhist prayer beads….  
  
I have long loved gemstones….they have inspired in me awe and wonder at the beauty of how each stone has been formed in the Earth by the master Artist.   
  
Where I got a little lost was when I started placing my trust in the “power” of stones over God. Years later finding my way back to God through Our Lady, I couldn't help but desire to “reclaim” the beauty of the beautiful stones that God created to make beautiful Rosaries.   
  
Secular society places an incredible emphasis on the importance of meditation for our mental health. Often however; many meditation practices have been claimed by many New Age movements that often confuse God's truth.   
  
What is often forgotten is the beauty of the Scriptural and Christian meditation found in the Rosary. My main ministry focus has been to draw attention to the beautiful gift of the Rosary, as a place to lay down our cares and worries at the foot of the cross and as a order place for our hearts to be ever so gently healed through the intercession of Mary.   
  
Often my goal is to make each one more beautiful then the next. That the beauty of the stones would inspire awe and wonder of the Divine Creator who sculpted the Heavens and Earth….and the mystical beauty of the Queen of Heaven who deserves to be crowned with each one of them ❤️  
  
This pretty Rosary is made with Amazonite, lapis, Holy Land Olive wood and white Howelite. It's hand knotted in blue nylon cord with an “Our Lady of Guadalupe” medal with a 3rd class relic on the back touched to the Tilma.   
  
It's a reminder to surrender all our cares to Mary who reminded Juan Diego that we truly had nothing to worry about when we are within the folds of Her Mantle.   
  
May the Holy Spirit continue to work in each of our Hearts, drawing us into a greater devotion to the Rosary and closer to the hearts of Jesus and Mary.
