"Lord, I love you," said this Servant of Love before passing into eternity. 

This handsome, handcrafted Rosary is a tribute and memorial to that great love. Rich, oblong, onyx Hail Mary beads in jet black symbolize the gift of his priesthood. Larger hematite Our Father beads gleam in steely hues as a reflection of his steadfast defense of the Faith and the Church. Unique silvered spacers are a reminder of the Scriptural account that the Lord sits as a refiner of silver, trying and purifying those He loves. 

A two-sided centerpiece features Pope Emeritus Benedict on one side, and on the reverse, his dear friend and brother, Pope St. John Paul II. The Passion nail Crucifix reflects his simple humility and embrace of suffering on behalf of the Church, and his stately bearing as he defended her in the modern world. Both center & Crucifix are made in Italy of oxidized silver. 

Use this rosary to honor our Pope Emeritus and pray for his soul, and ask his intercession in your own journey to know God and be united with Him in eternity. A special commemorative gift, and an heirloom quality aid to prayer. Requiescat in pace, Pope Benedict XVI! 

Includes Rosary Mysteries Prayer Card.
