Sub Tuum Praesidium
We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God; Despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.
Job’s Tears Rosaries
The Advocate | Daughter continues parents' tradition of making rosaries out of Job's Tears seeds
Excerpt
Years ago, Holy Rosary Catholic Church members Murphy and Jeanette Gautreau began their own spiritual ministry by creating rosaries from Job’s tears seeds.
Carrying on her parents’ tradition, Kathy Robinson, of St. Amant, has found joy while crafting sacred gray and brown-seeded rosaries.
The Job's tears plant grows in the yard of Kathy Robinson. The seeds are used to make rosaries.
The seeds grow from a tropical plant called Coix lacryma-jobi. The better-known name, Job’s tears, has a porcelain teardrop-shaped appearance. The hard-shell seeds are often used for rosaries, necklaces and other jewelry.
O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
O Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Walsingham, Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy upon us, our parish, our country, our homes, and our families, and upon all who greatly hope and trust in thy prayers. By thee it was that Jesus, our Saviour and hope, was given to the world; and He has given thee to us that we may hope still more. Plead for us your children, whom thou didst receive and accept at the foot of the Cross, O sorrowful Mother. Intercede for our separated brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the Chief Shepherd, the Vicar of thy Son. Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith, fruitful in good works, we all may be made worthy to see and praise God, together with thee in our heavenly home. Amen.
