Not too long ago I was in search of the truth and meaning in Catholicism. I had gone as far as to go to a local Catholic store and get information. I bought a pamphlet that explained the rosary, gave variations of prayers to use with the rosary, and some information as to why people pray the rosary. I also was able to obtain 2 rosaries. One for myself as a tool for prayer and one for my son if he ever chose to use it. I prayed my rosary every day for at least a month and I have to say that it was a soothing experience. I would go to sleep with the rosary in my hand and wake up with it close to my heart. I have a fond attachment to it, even now when it is put away for safe keeping.

My husband was brought up Catholic. He even showed me his first communion gifts that he still has tucked away. I was looking through a box of books last night and found his certificate from the Catholic church saying that he had taken his communion.

Sometimes I look at that beautiful marquesite rosary and just meditate on God. I love having an eclectic sense of religion!
