"When the star emits its rays, this does not make it less bright, and neither does the Son diminish his Mother’s virginal integrity. She, therefore, is that noble star risen from Jacob, whose ray gives light to the whole world, whose brightness both shines forth in the heavens and penetrates the depths. It lights up the earth and warms the spirit more than the body; it fosters virtues and dries up vices." Saint Bernard of Clarivaux
This rosary is named after the traditional title of Mary, Morning Star. Made with natural beads of white jade and rose quartz, it reflects the colours of the dawn's morning star announcing the coming of the sun. Devotion to the rosary leads us to Christ, through his mother, Mary. Mary walks with us through our domestic life and relationships with her calm and sweet gentleness and example of true womanhood.
Why con't you add our Rosary Habit Tracker for focusing your rosary intentions and building and mainting the spiritually powerful habit of praying the rosary.
