Prayer The Virtue of Trust

THE VIRTUE OF TRUST

My trust is in sweet Jesus: 

He is my passport to heaven! 

I place my life in His gentle hands; 

He will guide me along the rainbow. 

My blind trust is His to guide, 

May my soul reflect His light. 

I look around and see Jesus' help; 

I know He is worthy of my trust. 

Sweet Jesus, remain by my side, 

Never letting my trust be shaken! 

May I learn to share my trust with others, 

So Jesus will be known to all! 

Devotion in Honor of the Five Holy Wounds

Devotion in Honor of the Five Holy Wounds
As I kneel before Thee on the Cross, most loving Savior of my soul, my conscience tells me it is I who have nailed Thee to that Cross with these hands of mine, as often as I have fallen into mortal sin, wearing Thee with my monstrous ingratitude.
My God, my chief and most perfect Good, worthy of all my love, seeing Thou hast ever loaded me with blessings, I cannot now undo my misdeeds, as I would most willingly, but I can and will loathe them, grieving greatly for having offended Thee Who art infinite Goodness. And now, kneeling at Thy feet, I will try at least to compassionate Thee, to give Thee thanks, to ask of Thee pardon and contrition. Wherefore, with heart and lips I say:
(To the Wound of the Left Foot)
Holy Wound of the Left Foot of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for the love whereby Thou was wearied in overtaking me on to way to ruin, and didst bleed amid the thorns and brambles of my sins. I offer to the Eternal Father the pain and love of Thy most Sacred Humanity, in atonement for my sins, all of which I detest with sincere and bitter contrition.
(To the Wound of the Right Foot)
Holy Wound of the Right Foot of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for the love which pierced Thee with such torture and shedding of blood in order to punish my wanderings and the guilty pleasures I have granted to my passions. I offer to the Eternal Father all the pain and love of Thy most Sacred Humanity, and I pray unto Him for grace to weep over my transgressions with burning tears, and to enable me to persevere in the good which I have begun, without ever swerving again from my obedience to the commandments of my God.
(To the Wound of the Left Hand)
Holy Wound of the Left Hand of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for having, in Thy love, spared me the scourges and eternal damnation which my sins have merited. I offer to the Eternal Father the pain and love of Thy most Sacred Humanity, and I pray Him to teach me how to turn to good account my span of life, and bring forth in it worthy fruits of penance, and so disarm the angry justice of my God.
(To the Wound of the Right Hand)
Holy Wound of the Right Hand of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for Thy graces lavished on me with such love, in spite of all my miserable obstinacy. I offer to the Eternal Father all the pain and love of Thy most Sacred Humanity, and I pray Him to change my heart and its affections, and make me do all my actions in accordance with the will of God.
(To the Wound in the Sacred Side)
Holy Wound in the Side of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O my Jesus, for the cruel insult Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee, my Jesus, for the love which suffered Thy side and Heart to be pierced, that the last drops of Blood and water might issue forth, making my redemption to abound. I offer to the Eternal Father this outrage, and the love of Thy most Sacred Humanity, that my soul may enter once for all into that most loving Heart, eager and ready to receive the greatest sinners, and from it may never more depart.

Prayer to the Sacred Heart by Saint Francis De Sales

May Thy Heart dwell always in our hearts!
May Thy Blood ever flow in the veins of our souls!
O sun of our hearts, Thou givest life to all things by the rays of Thy goodness!
I will not go until Thy Heart has strengthened me, O Lord Jesus!
May the Heart of Jesus be the King of my heart!
Blessed be God. Amen.

I created this bracelet with much love and devotion to Our loving Sacred Heart of Jesus. Whenever you are burden, He will take your burdens and place them in His heart.

When I was 19 yrs. old I was burden with so many things going on with my life and He came to me in a dream and showed me His heart on His hand and I could actually see the heart pulsating and He told me that He suffered for us and His heart was open to take my pain and burden away and whenever I was going through a difficult time, place it in His heart and He will let me know He is with my by my side.

For many years, when I'm troubled by something, I find, out of no where, heart shape items, not man made hearts, but either stones, outside the garden, leaves, even rubber bands and up to today. I can still find His message and that overwhelms me.

That is why this bracelet is very meaningful to me as well. May His love be with you always.

Virgin Mary Our Lady of Sorrows Cameo Bracelet

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.

Several years ago I had a vision of seeing Our Lady's Tears falling and would see Her teardrops and I was inspired to create a rosary with teardrop shape beads, but when I began making these inspirational bracelets and found this cameo, I then was inspired to continue creating a bracelet reflecting in Her tears shed.

I wanted to create this bracelet as a reflection of Her pain and sorrow.

That is the reason I used mother of pearl teardrop-shape beads to represent Her tears. I also added a one decade rosary to this bracelets.

Besides the beautiful vintage cameo, I added other Catholic medals: Sacred Heart of Jesus, St. Therese, Our Lady of Fatima, Infant of Prague and others.

Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Necklace

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.

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.)

Today I had the inspiration to create a unique and bold necklace in honor of Our most humble Lady of Guadalupe.

I used a vintage cameo set in a stunning ornate setting and placed it on beautiful vintage lace adorned with rhinestones, calla Lillies and a rose.

I added stabilized turquoise beads to necklace keeping it simple on the necklace part to enhance the beauty of the came of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

"FLOWERS FOR OUR BLESSED MOTHER"

THE ROSE BEING REPRESENTATIVE OF MARY

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, "our fallen Nature's solitary boast", who alone of the human race was conceived without sin. It also may contain a parallel with the fiery thorn bush from which God spoke to Moses: Mary, immaculately conceived, was the means through which God became Man, The Word made flesh.)

I just love this cameo with an antique style and look to it. It's made of pine resin with an antique finish.

I decorated it with a vintage goldplated rose bracelet that I placed around the cameo.

This necklace is made with vintage chain. I also added a one decade rosary created with natural garnet beads, Our Lady of Miraculous Medal center and beautiful ornate crucifix.

To the center rosary in necklace I created it with vintage pearls and an Immaculate Heart of Mary center and a large natural Tourmaline gemstone bead holding cameo.

I also added a beautiful brass medal of Our Lady of Miraculous Medal.

I added flowers as "Flowers to Our Blessed Mother"
