Our Lady of Guadalupe "Patroness of the Unborn" Charm Bracelet

PATRONESS OF THE UNBORN
THE BLACK BELT
She was with child because she wore the Aztec Maternity Belt.
In 1531 a "Lady from Heaven" appeared to a poor Indian at Tepeyac, a hill northwest of Mexico City; she identified herself as the Mother of the True God, instructed him to have the bishop build a temple on the site and left an image of herself imprinted miraculously on his tilma, a poor quality cactus-cloth, which should have deteriorated in 20 years but shows no sign of decay 474 years later and still defies all scientific explanations of its origin.
PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE
O Virgin of Guadalupe,
Mother of the Americas,
grant to our homes the grace of loving
and respecting life in its beginnings,
with the same love with which
you conceived in your womb
the life of the Son of God.
Blessed Virgin Mary,
Mother of Fair Love,
protect our families so that
they may always be united
and bless the upbringing of our children.

Our hope, look upon us with pity,
teach is to go continually to Jesus,
and if we fall
help us to rise again and return to Him
through the confession of our faults
and our sins in the Sacrament of penance,
which gives peace to the soul.

We beg you to grant us a great love
of all the holy Sacraments,
which are, as it were,
the signs that your Son left us on earth.
Thus, Most Holy Mother,
with the peace of God in our consciences,
with our hearts free from evil and hatred,
we will be able to bring to all others
true joy and peace,
which come to us from your Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ,
who with the Father and the Holy Spirit,
lives and reigns for ever and ever.

Amen.

(Pope John Paul II.)


With this bracelet I wanted to make honor to Our Lady of Guadalupe as "Patroness of the Unborn" adding a photo charm for a baby picture.

I also used a St. Gerard medal, Patron Saint of the unborn and other Catholic medals. I also used roses as well as Rose: The rose is regarded as the "queen of flowers", and often symbolizes Mary, the Queen of Heaven. Also an almost universal symbol of perfect love, its color, perfection of form, and fragrance, as well as its thorns signifies Mary's role in salvation history as the Mother of God the Savior who was crowned with thorns and shed His blood on the Cross for love of mankind. The rose, arising from a thorny bush, also signifies Mary, the Mystical Rose

Most of the roses are polymer clay. I did used a carved coral flower on center and a turquoise howlite stone cross.

In 1531 a "Lady from Heaven" appeared to a poor Indian at Tepeyac, a hill northwest of Mexico City; she identified herself as the Mother of the True God, instructed him to have the bishop build a temple on the site and left an image of herself imprinted miraculously on his tilma, a poor quality cactus-cloth, which should have deteriorated in 20 years but shows no sign of decay 474 years later and still defies all scientific explanations of its origin.

God of power and mercy, you blessed the Americas at Tepeyac with the presence of the Virgin Mary of Guadalupe. May her prayers help all men and women to accept each other as brothers and sisters. Through your justice present in our hearts, may your peace reign in the world. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

I was inspired to create this bracelet in honor to Our Blessed Mother Our Lady of Guadalupe in turquoise color. I created angels using turquoise howlite stone, adding tibetan turquoise and goldtone ornate bead caps as part of the gown and antique goldtone wings and halos.

On center I added a beautiful carved coral rose holding Our Blessed Mother's color medal.

Other Catholic medals I used are: St. Michael, Guardian Angel, St. Padre Pio, St. Peregrine, St. Philomena, Pope John Paul ll, Our Lady of Czestechowa and St. Francis Xavier.

I was inspired to create this bracelet with this beautiful color medal of Our Lady of Guadalupe and a relic medal of Our Lady.

Back of relic medal has the words - Ex Indumentis Meaning: "from the clothing worn" or could be of pieces of cloth that have touched the body or shrine of saint or apparition site.

My inspiration to use turquoise, jasper and coral came from the wonderful colors Our Lady of Guadalupe would love.

I used other Catholic medals like Sacred Heart of Jesus, Miraculous Medal, St.Therese and others.
