POPE BENEDICT ROSARY FROM THE ROSARY WORKSHOP
RDSP.2565, CDSP.2565 - Papal
'BLESSING'  I & II
DEDICATED TO OUR NEW HOLY FATHER, BENEDICT XVI
 Choosing the name Benedict XVI opened up many prophetic words from centuries past who labeled the new pope 'The Glory of the Olive'. Only time will tell how right these words are.  A few of these news items have brought us inspiration for a rosary dedicated to our new Holy Father. The word Benedict means 'Blessings' and the order of 6th century St. Benedict is often called the 'Olivetans' has as its symbol the olive branch. (Peace maker).

... MAKE PEACE BEFORE ...
 "Pray for your enemies in the love of Christ, Make peace, before the setting of the sun, with those from whom you have been separated by discord, and never despair of the mercy of God." Much has been said recently re JPII being 'De Labore Solis',  (from the labor of the sun.) so this prophetic quote by St. Benedict makes one ponder.
+
 ...  THE SETTING OF THE SUN ...
  JP II was often thought of as 'De Labore Solis',  (from the labor of the sun.) On the day of his funeral (April 8 2005) there was an eclipse of the sun as on the day of his birth. He was born during an eclipse (May 18, 1920).   Eclipses of the sun have been thought of as 'signposts' or 'warnings' for centuries having heralded world events.  He was 'Mary's Pope' of the 3 secrets of Fatima '(Miracle of the Sun'.) And the sun rises in the East as did JP II who was from Poland.

 ... THE MERCY OF GOD IS THE HOPE THAT IS WITHIN ...


 
ONE OF THE 12 STONES

~ JASPER ROSARY ~

IN THE FOUNDATION OF
THE NEW JERUSALEM
+
 "Dear young people": "Do not be afraid of Christ! He takes nothing away, and he gives you everything. When we give ourselves to him, we receive a hundredfold in return. Yes, open, open wide the doors to Christ -- and you will find true life."
Benedict XVI (Inauguration - April 24, 2005 - Vatican City)
 
THESE BEAUTIFUL 10 mm OLIVEWOOD BEADS FROM BETHLEHEM

CARRY THE  'ROSE CARVINGS' WHICH HAS BEEN TRADITIONALLY USED ON
ROSARIES FOR CENTURIES.
 
WHY OLIVEWOOD?
The new Pope, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger is not a Benedictine but a Diocesan Priest but  the name Benedict he chose gives us a road sign - or the direction of his time as leader of the Roman Catholic Church.  He has spoken often about the desire to seek peace (Olive branch) bridging differences between other faiths and religions. Jasper is used on the Paters remembering that Jasper is one of the twelve stones in the foundation of the New Jerusalem.

NEW SPRINGTIME

ALONG WITH THE CLOISONNÉ PATERS GIVE US THE SENSE OF THE NEW
SPRINGTIME COMING IN THE CHURCH
 
CLOISONNÉ ROSARY
He has also spoken of the 'New Springtime,' backing the words of John Paul II. He, puts a great deal of trust in the youth of our world who are rising up as a strong new church that backs the church as given to us by Christ himself 2000 years ago. When interviewed as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger on EWTN, he spoke to Raymond Arroyo of ths New Springtine coming forth in new communities, new life, who will bring back' the joy of faith,' and even small in numbers, our youth our young people are beginning to radiate this joy which will be the 'central life of tomorrows church'.
+
Because of this New Springtime, we have set Paters of cloisonné that enrich the carved (roses) olivewood beads from Israel, both of which have a theme of flowers, symbolizing the new Springtime and of Mary. The spacers are random faceted beads that reflect the cloisonné colors in a refreshing and special way.

THE POWER OF THE ST BENEDICT MEDAL
Did you know that the Benedictine medal carries the same power against evil as does the true cross? The round Benedictine medal, the one we are most familiar with, is called the Jubilee Medal (struck in 1880 marking the 1400th anniversary of St. Benedict's birth) but many existed before this time, including the one used on the chaplets below. For more information on this medal see:
 
... WHAT THE MEDAL SAYS ...
 The reverse of the medal bears a cross with the initial letters of the words: "Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux"
 THE HOLY CROSS BY MY LIGHT
 +
 written downward on the perpendicular bar; the initial letters of the words, "Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux"
 LET NOT THE DRAGON BE MY GUIDE
 +
  on the horizontal bar; and the initial letters of "Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti"
 IN THE ANGELS OF THE CROSS
 +
 Round the margin stand the initial letters of the distich: "Vade Retro Satana, Nunquam Suade Mihi Vana
 Sunt Mala Quae Libas, Ipse Venena Bibas"
 BEGONE, SATAN, DO NOT SUGGEST TO ME THY VANITIES
 EVIL ARE THE THINGS THOU PROFFEREST
 DRINK THOU THY OWN POISON
                                                                             +
  At the top of the cross usually stands the word Pax (peace).
