Heavenly Angels Rosary
This captivating Holy Angels rosary was inspired by the colors of medieval and renaissance frescoes and oil paintings featuring the angelic hosts. Let it be a tangible reminder of their faithful presence as you pray!
Matte agate beads* in rich ochers, smoky grays, light creams, and rusty reds make a neutral and harmonious color combination. The Guardian Angel centerpiece depicts an angel with a protective hand upon the shoulder of a child, encouraging you to trust in the care of your Guardian Angel. The lilies on the crucifix recall the purity of Jesus and Mary, as well as the joy of the coming resurrection.
Makes a thoughtful gift of prayer for both men and women seeking to grow in devotion to Jesus, Mary, and the Holy Angels.
*Natural variations in color and size may occur due to the materials used.
Meditations on the Holy Angels
O my soul, contemplate the surpassing beauty of these citizens of paradise! They shine like a vast constellation of radiant stars, or even like the sun itself, in the splendid city of God.” —St. Aloysius Gonzaga
In the history of the Church, there are few saints who wrote with such angelic purity and devotion on the subject of angels as Saint Aloysius Gonzaga. Much has been written on this Jesuit novice who died at the young age of twenty-three while caring for plague victims, but little has been available on his actual writings—that is, until now. For the first time in English,
Meditations on the Holy Angels, Saint Aloysius Gonzaga’s longest and most significant work is offered to readers.
Discover this great saint’s love for the holy angels, no doubt a powerful inspiration for his own angelic purity. Those who read this inspiring work will fall more deeply in love with God and His holy angels. Learn about our angelic companions’ excellence, nobility, and glorious order. Contemplate the powerful roles of Saints Gabriel, Raphael, and Michael through the eyes of one of the Church’s great Jesuit saints.
Included in this volume are two important versions of the life of Saint Aloysius.
The first is from the Office of the saint, first published in 1737, and subsequently incorporated into the Roman Breviary
. The other version, published in 1699, is somewhat longer and offers further beautiful details of his sanctity, piety, and ardent charity.
As the patron saint of youth and students, Saint Aloysius Gonzaga’s writings and life reveal that one cannot live an angelic life without angelic help. Here is a saint who sought his guardian angel’s help three times a day. Here is a book that will enflame the hearts of both young and old to love our angelic friends—messengers from heaven—with even greater fervor.
