Water and wine is a recurring theme ... Jesus turns the water to wine at Cana,
water and wine stream from Jesus side after his crucifixion, water is mixed with wine when we
celebrate the Eucharist.
The handmade lampwork Pater beads in this rosary capture wine swirling with water
--- burgundy and pale blue. These 16mm sterling-capped beads are echoed by the Aves, 7mm
firepolished crystals in blue/garnet givre.
The rosary is joined with a sterling Virgo Regina centerpiece, and sterling medal
with Monstrance with the initials IHS on one side, and Jesus at the Last Supper on the obverse.

The beads of this chaplet use earthier tones of wine and wheat, suitable for a
man! The smaller beads are 8mm faceted rounds of red tiger-eye, and earthy red with a
vivid chatoyancy. The larger beads are 15mm lampwork. The chaplet is completed by a
striking 2" sterling medal of the Blessed Sacrament with initials IHS, cast from an antique.
[NOTE: The prayers for each bead are all the same; the distinctive beads are helpful for those who
tend to lose their place ... or am I the only one?]

Prayers
|
|
The simplest form of devotion to the Most Holy Name of JESUS is the devout, loving recitation
of that Name above all names. Each time you whisper His precious Name ... "Jesus"
... let it be a loving invocation to your Divine Savior and Lord. You can even make it part of a
short prayer, like "Jesus, I love You!", "Praise You, Jesus", and of
course, Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on me! (a form of the Jesus Prayer).

Prayer for the Feast of the Holy Name - January 2
|
Lord Jesus, we humbly pray You to give us all a great reverence and respect for Your most holy name.
Forgive us for ever having used the name of Jesus in vain, or without due respect.
Help us remember how reverently and lovingly Your Mother Mary used the name of Jesus, and how humbly
Saint Joseph called You and spoke to You by name.
Your name, dear Jesus, is above every other name in heaven or on earth, because You are the Jesus, the
Savior of all men. You have saved us, and You have told us to ask God anything in Your name, and it
would be granted.
We ask You, humbly and confidently, to bless us and our work, and give us the rich treasures of Your
divine grace, without which we cannot even so much as pronounce the name of Jesus. Amen.

This prayer has its origins in the new testament and is very familiar to the ears
and eyes of those who love scripture. See the prayer petitions of the tax collector's prayer
(Luke 18:13) 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner' and (Mark10:47), Baritmaeus, who totally trusted Jesus
cried out, 'Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me'.
Variations of these prayers have a recorded history of use since the 6th
century. It has traditionally been used in its many forms by members of the Orthodox Churches
(Eastern, Russian, Greek). In recent years , it has become a more widely used prayer by members
of various christian churches, both Protestant and Roman Catholic. We are called to 'pray without
ceasing' and this simple prayer is easy to remember. Because of this, it allows one to reach a deeper
level of prayer.
Early Christians made several variations of this prayer which became know as the Jesus Prayer. It
has come down to us in three forms:
1. "Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me."
2. "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner."
3. "Lord Jesus Christ, by the prayers of Our Lady, have mercy on me."
The Jesus Prayer is said on each bead. Traditionally prayed as one inhales (first
part of prayer) and exhales (second part of prayer).
For special intentions, you may substitute the name of another who is sick or in need of special
prayers.
"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on ......."
When this prayer becomes somewhat automatic the next step is to move the prayer from the head to
the heart. One does this by trying to focus the prayer on their heart. The prayer itself is an
act of humility calling out for God's merciful help.

How sad it is for a Christian to hear Jesus' sacred Name used as a common swear word.
|
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will
not hold him guiltless that shall take the name of the Lord his God in vain. -Exodus 20:7
Here are some prayers we can say when confronted by such blasphemy.

The Chaplet in praise of the Virgin Mary is prayed on the standard Dominican Rosary of 59 beads.
At the beginning of the Rosary, the "Creed" and "Our Father" is replaced with:
Mary, my Immaculate Mother, I desire to offer thee reparation for the offenses which thy Immaculate
Heart receives from the horrible blasphemies which are uttered against thee. I offer thee these
praises to console thee for so many ungrateful children who do not love thee, and to console the Heart
of thy Divine Son Who is so deeply offended by the insults offered to thee.
Receive, my Purest Mother, this little act of homage. Make me love thee more each day and look with
pity on those blasphemers that they may not delay to cast themselves into thy maternal arms. Amen.
At the beginning of each decade, on the large bead:
Grant that I may praise thee, O Holy Virgin!
Give me strength against thy enemies!
On the 10 small beads:
1. Blessed be the Great Mother of God, Mary Most Holy!
2. Blessed be her Holy and Immaculate Conception!
3. Blessed be her Glorious Assumption!
4. Blessed be the Name of Mary, Virgin and Mother!
5. Blessed be her Immaculate Heart!
6. Blessed be her Virginal Purity!
7. Blessed be her Divine Maternity!
8. Blessed be her Universal Mediation!
9. Blessed be her Sorrows and her Tears!
10. Blessed be the graces with which the Lord crowned her Queen of Heaven and Earth!
At the end of each decade:
Glory be to Mary, Daughter of the Father!
Glory be to Mary, Mother of the Son!
Glory be to Mary, Spouse of the Holy Spirit!
Final Prayer:
My Mother, I love thee for those who do not love thee; I praise thee for those who blaspheme thee; I
surrender myself to thee for those who will not recognize thee as their Mother. (5 times)
The above praises were published in Peru with the Imprimatur of the Archbishop of Lima on October
26, 1953.

This prayer is said to have been revealed by Jesus Himself to a Carmelite Nun of
Tours in 1843 as a reparation for blasphemy. He said,
"This Golden Arrow will wound My Heart
delightfully, and heal the wounds inflicted by blasphemy."
May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most mysterious and unutterable Name
of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in heaven on earth and under the earth,
by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ in the most Holy
Sacrament of the altar. 1

corrupted world, and be Thy crown in the kingdom of Heaven. Amen. 2

REMARKS OF ST. BERNARD ON THE SWEET NAME OF JESUS
The sweet name of Jesus produces in us holy thoughts, fills the soul with noble
sentiments, strengthens virtue, begets good works, and nourishes pure affections. All spiritual food
leaves the soul dry, if it contain not that penetrating oil, the name Jesus. When you take your pen,
write the name Jesus: if you write books, let the name of Jesus be contained in them, else they will
possess no charm or attraction for me; you may speak, or you may reply, but if the name of Jesus
sounds not from your lips, you are without unction and without charm. Jesus is honey in our mouth,
light in our eyes, a flame in our heart. This name is the cure for all diseases of the soul.
Are you troubled? think but of Jesus, speak but the name of Jesus, the clouds
disperse, and peace descends anew from heaven.
Have you fallen into sin? so that you fear death? invoke the name of Jesus, and you will soon feel
life returning. No obduracy of the soul, no weakness, no coldness of heart can resist this holy name;
there is no heart which will not soften and open in tears at this holy name.
Are you surrounded by sorrow and danger? invoke the name of Jesus, and your fears will vanish. Never
yet was human being in urgent need, and on the point of perishing, who invoked this help-giving name,
and was not powerfully sustained. It was given us for the cure of all our ills; to soften the
impetuosity of anger, to quench the fire of concupiscence, to conquer pride, to mitigate the pain of
our wounds, to overcome the thirst of avarice, to quiet sensual passions, and the desires of low
pleasures.
If we call to our minds the name of Jesus, it brings before us His most meek and
humble heart, and gives us a new knowledge of His most loving and tender compassion. The name of Jesus
is the purest, and holiest, the noblest and most indulgent of names, the name of all blessings and of
all virtues; it is the name of the God-Man, of sanctity itself. To think of Jesus is to think of the
great, infinite God Who, having given us His life as an example, has also bestowed the necessary
understanding, energy and assistance to enable us to follow and imitate Him, in our thoughts,
inclinations, words and actions.
If the name of Jesus reaches the depths of our heart, it leaves heavenly virtue
there. We say, therefore, with our great master, St. Paul the Apostle: If any man love not our Lord
Jesus Christ, let him be anathema (I Cor. 16:22).
