Pope John XXIII said, 'The rosary is the glory of the Roman Church. As an excercise of Christian piety, it takes its place among the faithful after the Mass and the Sacraments.' It is never too early or too late to start this sacred tradition and form of prayer. It is very honorable as Catholics to pray the Rosary in Mary's honor as she is one of our greatest role models. The rosary is an effective way to promote peace in the world as it quiets and soothes our own souls and brings people who pray the rosary together for a common purpose. This black bead First Communion metal rosary with case is specifically appropriate for a child's First Communion gift. The power of the rosary is the greatest gift to which you can introduce your child.
