A Rosary Giveaway, in Honor of Our Blessed Mother

Yesterday, my husband and I got a powerful sign that a prayer had been answered.  We have been putting a special intention into the hands of Mary, Undoer of Knots, praying back-to-back-to-back-to-back Rosary novenas.  We know that we can always count on Her, and we have always had faith in Her power to intercede for us with Her Son.  As usual, She has not abandoned us or let us down.  She has been there for us, through thick and thin, with Her infinite tenderness and mercy...the most loving of all mothers.
In honor of Mary, and of Mother's Day (which is fast approaching!), I am going to give away a cord Rosary made by one of my longtime blogging friends.  (I was going to say "oldest and dearest" blogging friends, but that might have given you the wrong idea; because this twenty-something gal is young enough to be my daughter!)

Sarah makes her durable cord Rosaries in a rainbow of colors.  It is her mission to spread devotion to the Blessed Mother and to the Rosary, and she is doing so through sharing these handmade Rosaries, which have awakened strong feelings in the hearts of even some non-Catholic recipients.  She has made Rosaries for my sons; she has made them for my grandchildren.  When I travel, I pack a Kelly green one that she made for me in my carry-on bag. 

Not too long ago, I won a lovely royal blue cord Rosary through a giveaway Sarah hosted on Instagram; and I decided that I would spread the wealth and give it away on this blog.  It's a beautiful color, as you can see.  Such a vibrant shade of blue--Mary's color.
Sometimes Sarah's cord Rosaries have crosses made of cord;
this one has been finished off with a large silver-toned crucifix.
It is an understatement to say that this family has benefitted
from a multitude of graces (prayed for in a multitude
of Rosaries)!  Thank you, dear Mother.
I am grateful to have this opportunity to share my friend's talents with you, as well as her devotion to Mary, Our Mother.  So if you would like to enter to win this lovingly handcrafted blue cord Rosary, just leave me a comment between now and midnight on Mother's Day.

Good luck and God bless you!

  1. So thankful your prayers have been answered! I've been praying the same novena through PrayMoreNovenas.com. Hoping that some of our knots are undone as well!

    1. I hope that knot comes undone soon--I'm sure Mary is working hard on it.

      Your name is in the hat now to win this lovely Rosary--so perhaps you will be saying your novena with it in the future. ;)

    1. Thank you, Susan!

      I fell in love with this Rosary when it came in the mail; but I have several others that Sarah made, and they are equally lovely...so I just felt the urge to pass this one on to someone else.

      Your name is in the hat now. Good luck!

  4. Laura:
    Thanks for hosting this giveaway.
    A beautiful rosary, and I've always found the Our Lady Undoer of Knots to be a wonderful and powerful advocate.
    I'm glad your intentions have been answered, too.

    1. Oh, you're welcome. I love giveaways!

      She is a powerful advocate, and it looks like this novena is going to become a lifetime daily habit for my husband and me. There are always knots in life that we can't seem to untie on our own. And I often think about how Mary told St. Catherine Laboure that She had many graces She wanted to send, but people neglected to ask for them. Well, we've decided not to be shy about asking!!

  7. Love this novena too!! This rosary would be so useful to me as my husband undergoes brain surgery in June. At least the beads wouldn't wear down with all my prayers. Thank you for giving this rosary away. Kathy
