not just for decoration…

… October was the month of the rosary and I posted asking readers to send me photos and stories of their rosaries or share them on their own blogs. Readers have sent me everything from intricate heirloom rosaries to simple knotted rosaries. The stories that accompanied each were touching, some funny, but all expressed a genuine love and attachment to their rosaries.

However, it is what Paul Cat had to say about his rosary that made the most profound impression.

“There’s no special story about it. No one important or special gave this particular rosary to me. It’s not blessed by the Pope. I didn’t take it on a trip with me. It didn’t help me find my vocation. The only real story is that I have a rosary ring, and I use it.”
