This is the Chaplet of St. Monica, Heirloom Quality. Chaplet rosaries
are tailored to a specific set of prayer. There are no two chaplets
alike. The number of beads that compose a chaplet are generally
significant and meaningful to the chaplet itself.
“This is a wonderful chaplet for parents to pray for their children”.
This
chaplet is constructed of lots of Bali Sterling Silver. All medals are
solid sterling molds. All bead caps and connectors are solid Bali
sterling silver. The wire is “.930 Argentium Sterling Silver”. The
beauty of this wire is that it will not tarnish.
.930 ARGENTIUM
SILVER- The reasons for using Argentium silver are many. Argentium
Silver is an anti-oxidizing , anti-fire scale Sterling alloy that is
extremely tarnish resistant. It is the most important advance in silver
technology in modern times. It stays bright and beautiful for weeks ,
months, for years and requires only an occasional wipe with a soft cloth
to remove smudges or finger marks. Fabrication and workability
characteristics are much better than standard Sterling Silver and it can
be heat treated to achieve hardness approximately twice as strong as
standard Sterling Silver.
The large (12mm) beads are Iran Copper
Turquoise. The smaller (8mm) beads are natural White Ocean Coral
semi-precious stones. The beautiful rosary center is a portrait of the
Blessed Virgin Mary. The gorgeous medal depicts a picture of St. Monica
and her son St. Augustine." Notice the connectors between the Pater
Noster (Our Father) beads- one side of the connector is Jesus and the
other side is the Virgin Mary! Beautiful connectors!
History of the Chaplet Of St. Monica
"St.
Monica (333-387) , wife and mother, was born in Northern Africa. She
is the mother of St. Augustine and an instrument of his conversion. St.
Monica endured a troubled marriage but never stopped her prayers and
almsgiving. She suffered for seventeen years on account of her beloved
son, yet came to see him turn back to God at last. By her prayers,
Augustine became one of the doctors of the church, and one of the great
authors of Christendom. She is knowing friend to all those who plead
with God to work in the hearts of their loved ones, and particularly to
parents who pray for their children.
