We live in a very troubled time, and we feel we need Peace.We need Peace in our life and in our spirit. Peace in our homes and families, in our work, in our friendships and community. Peace in Europe. Peace in the World.
Peace will only be achieved when the Love for the other is greater than the Love for Power, when freedom speaks louder than the greed of men.
We need to be at Peace within ourselves in order to share it with others, we need to be promoters of Peace.
We can only live at Peace when we are truly committed to God, because He is Peace. It is God who completes us, who revives us, who gives us strength and vigor so that we can feel His presence, feel His Peace, and live by it.
In Her apparitions, Our Lady of Fatima always asks us to pray for Peace.
This rosary was made by artisans in the parish of Fatima, Ourém.
It is made from 3 semiprecious stones: blue sodalite, tridacna, and yellow agate.
Their colors: Blue, White, and Yellow, represent the colors of Europe: an appeal to Union. An appeal to Freedom. An appeal to Peace.
Blue is also a color that has always been very associated with Our Lady of Fatima. White with Peace. Yellow with Light, Warmth, and Optimism.
May our leaders draw inspiration from the Humility of the Shepherds, and always be guided by the motherly hand of Our Lady.
Amen.
This rosary hand is made in Fatima, Portugal, and blessed by the local priest before shipping. It is complete with a sturdy translucent squared-box, perfect for display, safekeeping, and perfect for offering this priceless gift to your loved ones.
