Catholic Virgin Mary OL Fatima , Saints Religious Medals Charm Bracelet

 Dear Lady of Fatima,

We come on bended knee,

To beg Your intercession,

For peace and unity.

The right and shining way,

A Rosary each day.

You promised at Fatima,

Each time that You appeared,

To help us if we pray to You,

To banish war and fear.

Dear Lady, on First Saturdays,

We ask Your guiding hand,

For grace and guidance here on earth,

And protection for our land.

In honor of Our Lady of Fatima I created this bracelet using a stunning cameo of Our Lady of Fatima adorned with pink Czech. rhinestones fit for a Queen.

I was inspired to create another charm bracelet honoring this great Saint, St. Therese.  In this occasion, I felt to create one more festive than I normally create for St. Therese, maybe the spirit was more joyous on the creation and I combined several colors and beads including vintage Lucite flowers and I really loved the outcome of it.

My Roses from St. Therese

For a very long time I have been wanting to experience St. Therese's roses to come to me unexpected and feel the joy that I hear many people experience.

Last year a wonderful woman sent me a couple of rose petals that were touched to St. Therese's Relics and in the process of my rearranging my room I could not find those precious rose petals and I was devastating about it and never to be found.

I kept praying to St. Therese and to please grant me that privileged to experience once again the honor of having roses from her.  I want my creations to be close or touched by them to help others.

As time passed I continued with my search and to no avail, not able to find them.  I finally gave up the search.

On Friday, September 24, 2011 I went to pick up my mail and when I opened my box, there was this beautiful scent coming from inside my mailbox and when I picked up my mail, there was an envelope that caught my attention and I could feel something very special inside and the scent was so beautiful and my heart began pounding, very excited knowing something Holy or special was in that envelope.

When I read the name from it was from I was very pleasantly surprised coming from Dyan, a special lady I met through my ebay store and thinking she might of sent me a medal, which sometimes I have received medals or prayer cards from very special wonderful people I meet in my store.

When I opened the envelope, I just could not believe that inside were rose petals touched to St. Therese's relics in Ireland, I was just overwhelmed with joy and it took me a while to really realize what I had in my possession, something so Special and meaningful.  I cannot thank enough St. Therese to express her love to me and use Dyan to send me the rose petals.  

She stated she had them for several years and one day suddenly she felt that she needed to send them to me.

I feel so Blessed

St. Therese Relic Saints Religious Medal Charm Bracelet

The Depths of the Love

of Your Heart

Virgin full of grace,

I know that at Nazareth

You lived modestly,

without requesting anything more.

Neither ecstasies, nor miracles,

nor other extra ordinary deeds

enhanced Your life,

O Queen of the elect.

The number of the lowly,

"the little ones,"

is very great on earth.

They can raise their eyes

to You without any fear.

You are the incomparable Mother

who walks with them along

the common way

to guide them to heaven.

Beloved Mother,

in this harsh exile,

I want to live always with You

and follow you every day.

I am enraptured

by the contemplation of You

and I discover the depths

of the love of Your heart.

All my fears vanish

under Your motherly gaze,

which teaches me

to weep and to rejoice!

Amen

Prayer by St. Therese

Today I created another bracelet honoring St. Therese and the feelings and emotions that went through me, are unexplainable. I have made other bracelets before, but today was different. I even felt like crying, but in a good way, so much love that I wanted to reach to everyone in compassion and love, more than usual, and just wanted to make every pain and anguish from everyone that I came across disappear and letting them know God is with them and those emotions are still with me as I'm writing this. If that is the Love St. Therese felt for everyone she met, it is an exhilarating feeling that I cannot explain such emotion. I just feel blessed I'm able to feel such emotion.
