Wild about Red

Feast of Mary Mother of God

For todays feast I have gifted each member of my family with beautiful, glass beaded rosaries.  Ruth,of Loreto rosaries  is the artist behind each of these amazing rosaries.  All that is pictured here, is my stunning blue, Our Lady undoer Knots rosary, and the gift bags holding each of the other rosaries.  Ruth ordered my special center piece from the Holy Land, knowing my devotion to Mary of this title.   Sorry the picture is not that great, I am needing a better camera, but I do hope you can at least get somewhat of an idea of the beauty these rosaries hold.

I pray that we all have a blessed New Year, devoting all of our hearts more and more, daily to the Immaculate.

And from Seamus....
