Vintage Retro Nativity Rosary

Mother of God

rejoice with me.

In the midst of the petty trials

and the profound sorrows of this life,

let me catch a glimpse of your face

and dissolve into laughter

Let me remember that what matters

is not the laundry I have to fold

but the gurgling of the baby speaking his own new language

not the bank account that will not balance,

but the miracle of the dragonfly landing on my wet shoulder

as I climb out of the river on a summer day

Like the tender hand of a child

who spontaneously reaches to comfort his worried mother,

let me lightly carry the suffering of the world

a wonderfully retro kitsch rosary made from

found vintage nativity scene pieces and 

celluloid roses, rosary, crucifixes and holy medals

blessings
