St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Unbreakable Little Rosary - Catholic RELIC Chaplet - Patron Saint retailer of Immigrants, Orphans and Hospital Admin.

I created this "Little Rosary" in the traditional style and colors with twenty-five purple, pink and AB clear Czech crystals to commemorate the twenty-five times Mother Cabrini crossed the ocean to further her missions. The beads are connected with nickel silver wire-wrapped loops for maximum strength and durability to last for generations of normal "wear and prayer." The bead 4mm donut caps and lantern spacers are lead-free Tibetan silver. I attached a small crucifix just below the Sacred Heart center in honor of her declaration to always keep the crucifix before her eyes "to learn how to love and to suffer." The Sacred Heart center connector is to memorialize her founding of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart and the medal used contains a 3rd class relic on the back. I will include instructions for praying this chaplet (in handmade card form), a St. Frances Cabrini Holy card and a lovely organza pouch with your purchase.

We must pray without tiring, for the salvation of mankind does not depend on material success; nor on sciences that cloud the intellect. Neither does it depend on arms and human industries, but on Jesus alone. - Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini retailer
