Thanks Father Joe, you were our very first customer and our first boost of encouragement!   Our very first customer!  How did you find us?  We knew nothing about subscribing to search engines!  We were barley up! Still building! Had no idea that our brand new website URL was like having an unlisted phone number that no one knew about. And now we know this little mystery was born from above.  As we look back on these years, we are very grateful and truly blessed by your continuing encouragement and friendship as well as the greatest customers and friends in the world who have followed you over the years.

  HEBREWS 12:  28-29
"Let us show gratitude by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe - for our God is a consuming fire"

... HE IS WORTHY ...
We are re-dedicating efforts to - not just making prayer beads - but to keep alive and honor the tradition of the early paternoster guilds of Europe.  For centuries, these dedicated artisans took great care in making the most beautiful of prayer beads possible.  Our vision is to craft a sacramental that will not only last for generations but will bring visual glory to God every day.

*pray on line now*

Pray the new mysteries. Pray for peace. Pray the online now. Battles are won by praying the rosary. It is the most powerful prayer/weapon available. No beads?  Use your fingers!

... suspending the laws of nature through prayer ...
We have never seen such power released through natural disasters  and terrorism as we have seen during the presidency of George Bush. No leader of our nation has ever had so much on his shoulders. (We thank the Lord that our president turns to the Lord for guidance.)  When his brother Florida Governor Jeb Bush, first heard of the Asian tsunami, he "began to pray the Mysteries." It's a lesson for us all. At the apparition site of Medjugorje the Blessed Mother said that "with prayer and fasting you can stop wars and even suspend the laws of nature." We have watched the weather radar screens as tornados and terrible storms part and go above and below us as we prayed for protection in the name of Jesus.
+
We must not forget that what is said above is totally true, especially after hearing about the pastor who commanded the tsunami wave to stop 'in the name of Jesus'  - and it did - saving a boatload of orphans from certain death. Pray for our President, pray for the earth and those of the earth and the weather to be at peace.

“While I am in the world, I am the light of the world”  (Jn 9:5)
