Immaculate Heart of Mary Rosary Bracelet
- Catholic Prayer Beads, Devotional Niner Chaplet -
Dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, this rosary bracelet features a lovely Blessed Virgin holy medal, blue quartz rounds, and a combination of white pearls and pink crystals. The holy medal is Italian-made from base metal and is nicely detailed. The blue quartz is eye-catching and represents the robe of the Holy Mother. The white pearls and pink crystals are from Swarovski and bring a light gloss and sparkle to the whole chaplet.
Also included are the following:
• Sterling silver round beads (made in USA)
• TierraCast spacers and jump rings (made in USA)
• One-inch silver extender chain
• 49-strand beading wire (made in USA)
• Sterling twist crimps and wire guards (made in USA)
• Complimentary holy card (made in Italy)
• Silver plated lobster clasp
To the extender chain is added a three-bead dangle representing the Holy Trinity. The basic length of the chaplet is 7.5 inches.
I purchased the medal at the Shrine of the Little Flower in Nasonville, RI. The shrine was founded in 1923, shortly after St. Theresa of Lisieux was beatified. It is the first shrine dedicated to this saint in the US, and is a beautiful place of peace and contemplation. As for the card, it is from Mount St. Mary's Abbey in Wrentham, MA. The abbey houses a community of Trappistine nuns in a peaceful, meditative environment. It is a very special place!
This lovely and meaningful chaplet bracelet was handmade by me with great care, thought, and best wishes for its destined wearer. It comes in a pretty organza bag, wrapped and ready for giving to a Marian devotee or anyone who appreciates the sweet and touching image of the Holy Mother Mary. As with all my rosary bracelets, making this piece was also a meditation on my mother, who loved the rosary and would have been especially delighted by one dedicated to the Blessed Virgin.
About the Immaculate Heart of Mary
The symbol of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is a human heart in flames, with a circlet of roses around it and rays of spiritual light emanating from it. Sometimes a piercing sword is also included. The devotion to this aspect of the Virgin Mary focuses on love—her love for Jesus, her love for God, and her compassion for humanity. The icon showing the Virgin pointing to her exposed heart reminds us of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which also focuses on love, particularly Christ's divine love for humanity.
The devotion to the Heart of Mary originated in medieval times. During World War II, Pope Pius XII consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart in a spiritual effort to protect humanity from complete destruction.
About Nine-Bead Chaplets
A nine-bead chaplet (often called a "niner") facilitates a simple and easily remembered form of spiritual devotion. Its conventional prayer pattern is three recitations of each of the following prayers: "Our Father," "Hail Mary," and "Glory Be." The trios of each prayer correspond to the trios of the prayer beads. Having a chaplet as a bracelet is nice because it easily goes with you, right on your wrist, and can act as reminder of spiritual practice as well as a helper with that practice. It can be used for any form of good intention - such as offering thanksgiving, reflecting on penance, or petitioning divine assistance for oneself or others - or simply as a "time out" of life's busy flow to engage in personal meditation.
