Suscipio is hosting a
"Show and Tell" link-up celebrating the month of the Most Holy Rosary. So fun!
We have a lot of rosaries. Most of them reside in our sacramental drawer (the drawer itself isn't sacramental...you get it. "Sacramental drawer" just sounds nicer than "Catholic junk drawer").

My favorite rosary was the first one I ever used. It was a gift from Paul right before I started RCIA. He got it from the priest who was the chaplain of the college Newman group. It was blessed by JPII.

| It is relatively small, the result of which is that most normal rosaries intended for adults feel awkwardly long to me. |
It's not the most beautiful rosary in my collection, but it does mean the most to me. As I said, it's the first rosary I ever used, the one I learned on. The hyperdulia afforded to the Blessed Virgin was one of the things that drew me to the Church--it just made sense to me that we ought to love Jesus's mother and ask her to pray for us. I was excited to learn to pray in this way, and Paul taught me, mostly over the phone. I'd say this is my second favorite sacramental he's given me over the years (with #1 being my wedding band).
Join in the show and tell fun over at
Suscipio!
