Czech Crystal Stations of the Cross Chaplet, Lent Devotional order Chaplet, Catholic Chaplet

Czech crystal Stations of the Cross chaplet from the Rosary a Day Project. This catholic chaplet is made up of 15 sets of three beads. Separating these sets are nicely detailed, round medal connectors depicting scenes from the Passion. Then there is an additional 6 beads between the center and the crucifix.

The beads are 6mm, indicolite, Czech glass crystals in a bicone, or diamond, shape. The Stations of the Cross crucifix, Stations medal set, and other metals, are lead-free nickel silver. Given the size of the beads, and the numerous medals, this chaplet is large, quite a bit longer than the average rosary.

Rosaries and chaplets make perfect gifts for any occasion, even a "just because" gift for yourself! All chaplets and rosaries from Mary's Garden are handcrafted and the workmanship is guaranteed.

This is an ideal devotional for those who are unable to go to a church for Stations, or simply to carry while following the Way. The following is a suggested way of praying with this chaplet:

***

On the Crucifix say the Apostle's Creed.

On each of the following six beads:

1. An Act of Contrition.

2. Prayer to Jesus Christ Crucified:

Behold, O kind and most sweet Jesus, I cast myself on my knees in Your order sight and with the most fervent desire of my soul I pray and beg You to impress upon my heart lively sentiments of faith, hope and charity, with true repentance for my sins, and a firm desire of amendment, while with deep affection and grief of soul I ponder within myself and mentally contemplate Your five most precious wounds: having before my eyes that which David spoke in prophecy: "They have pierced My hands and My feet; they have numbered all My bones."

3. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them; and may all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen

4. Our Father

5. Hail Mary

6. Glory be

For the intentions of the Holy Father: at each medal/station say:

We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You, because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.

Followed by:

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.
