"By His Wounds" Catholic Locket Shrine Necklace

"By His Wounds"

"By His wounds we are healed"

Prayer to Christ in His Passion and Death
Hail, sweet Jesus! Praise, honor, and glory be to Thee,
O Christ, who of Thine own accord didst embrace death,
and, recommending Thyself to Thy heavenly Father,
bowing down Thy venerable head, didst yield up Thy spirit.
Truly thus giving up Thy life for Thy sheep,
Thou hast shown Thyself to be a good shepherd.
Thou didst die, O only-begotten Son of God.
Thou didst die, O my beloved Saviour, that I might live forever.
O how great hope, how great confidence have
I reposed in Thy death and Thy Blood!
I glorify and praise Thy Holy Name,
acknowledging my infinite obligations to Thee.
O good Jesus, by Thy bitter death and Passion,
give me grace and pardon.
Give unto the faithful departed rest and life everlasting.
Amen.
ST. PAUL OF THE CROSS




I created this locket shrine necklace as a reminder of Our Lord's ultimate sacrifice for us

I used a vintage pearl necklace with a 14K clasp, a vintage acrylic cameo of Our Lord with crown of thorns "Ecce Homo"
Inside locket I created a shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe, Infant of Prague and St. Anthony

St. Joseph Cameo Religious Locket Shrine Necklace

Oh, St Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong,
so prompt before the throne of God,
I place in you all my interest and desires.
Oh, St Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession,
and obtain for me from your divine Son
all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, out Lord.
So that, having engages here below your heavenly power,
I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.

Oh, St Joseph, I never weary contemplating you,
and Jesus asleep in your arm;
I dare not approach while he resposes near your heart.
Press Him in my name and kiss His find head for me
and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath.
St Joseph, patron of departing souls - Pray for me.

St. Joseph is also patron of the universal Church, fathers, carpenters, and social justice.


A man of God that he is the role model for all fathers that obeying God's word he became a very important part of Our Lord's life as a father on earth.

What a privilege must be for St. Joseph to take the role of Our Lord Jesus Christ and raise Him as His own

With this necklace I wanted to make honor to St. Joseph as the role of father to Our Lord and just love this vintage cameo depicting him with Child Jesus

I wanted to make it to look and feel like an older antique piece using antiqued trade beads

Jesus Relic, Reliquary Locket Religious Medal Necklace

I compassionate thee, O most sorrowful Mother Thy heart was pierced with a sword of grief  when Simeon foretold to thee in the Temple  the ignominious death and the desolation  of thy Divine and most dear Son,  which thou west destined one day to witness.  By the great anguish of thy suffering heart,  O gracious Queen of the universe,  impress upon my mind,  in life and in death,  the sacred Passion of Jesus and shine own sorrows.  Amen. 
St. Alphonsus

I created another special and meaningful locket reliquary locket necklace with a very unique relic touched to the Holy Shroud of Oviedo in Spain (Cloth touched to the Holy Shroud of Oviedo) (Head-veil of Christ)

I added red beads to represent the Precious Blood of Christ. I included a one decade rosary and a piece of a vintage broken bracelet depicting the Stations of the Cross

I found it interesting that on this relic medal there is a red stain inside the glass dome and not all the relics have this stain, I did noticed it when I was adding it to the locket.

Antique-Style Virgin Mary Cameo Handcrafted Catholic Necklace

To You do we turn,
Our Heavenly Mother of sweetest love and tender compassion,
in this and every graceful moment
that passes under Your protection and care.
Pray for us Your beloved children,
oh Help of Christians,

which so purely flows through Your Immaculate Heart
will illuminate our lives
and vanquish all darkness in our midst.
Oh Spouse of The Most High,
pray the Father to have mercy upon our land
that we might not received what we deserve
but rather what we need.
Merciful Mother by the aid of Your most Holy angels
direct our ways into Your shelter;
into Your health;
safe within Your loving bosom;
into a renewed and united revelation
of God’s infinite and everlasting love through Jesus Christ.

Amen.

I was able to create this necklace with a gorgeous antique-style pine resin cameo of Virgin Mary with Baby Jesus.

I also added a beautiful handcrafted Orthodox cross made with an antique style mold and a beautiful brass Our Lady of Miraculous Medal center.

Holding the beautiful cameo, I added a stunning mother of pearl bead and capped with a very unique brass cap with rhinestones.
