Bishop joins hundreds at Christmas Eve rosary
By Joyce Coronel | January 15, 2009 | The Catholic Sun
In what has become an annual event, Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted joined with more than 300 Catholics to pray the rosary in front of a central Phoenix Planned Parenthood clinic Dec. 24.
While many Valley residents were busy with last-minute shopping, wrapping and baking, Catholics from across the diocese gathered at noon in front of the abortion clinic to pray the rosary. Phoenix police officers stood nearby as the faithful assembled, flanking a large image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patroness of the unborn.
A half-dozen priests were on hand as well and organizers carried walkie-talkies to coordinate the prayerful event.
“We come here on Christmas Eve to celebrate the birth of Christ, Who just 24 hours before His birth, had no legal protection,” Bishop Olmsted told the crowd prior to commencing the rosary.
The bishop prayed that the mothers who entered the clinic and were seeking an abortion would find instead “the support they need to live out the vocation of motherhood.” He also prayed for the conversion of “those who make political decisions in opposition to human life.”
Hundreds of Catholics of all ages lined the crowded sidewalk at the corner of Seventh Avenue and Roma Street, many of them bearing signs or pushing strollers. One woman held a sign with an image of an unborn baby that proclaimed, “I’m not just tissue.” Another family held a banner that read, “Stop abortion now.”
Debbie Gambert of Chandler said she was there because “the killing never ends and it’s important for us to stand against it.” Gambert, who also helped organize the “40 Days for Life” prayer campaign last year, said that the Christmas Eve rosary was “where Christ would want us to be.”
Many of the participants came as families to the event and stood facing the busy traffic along Seventh Avenue.

I don't wear much jewelry, but I love beads. Rather than make another necklace to grace my jewelry drawer, I thought I'd make a rosary. This is for my Mom (yes, there's one for Dad) - wood beads separated by "flowers" & strung on a tan leather cord. Rachel ( one of my sisters) found the Sacred Heart medallion online; the crucifix is from a local bead shop.
This combination reminds me of Mom because it is straightforward, earthy, & tactile. I like the way the wood plays with the silver separators & the cobalt beads. I remember Mom, when she says the Rosary, rubbing her fingers over each bead in turn.
Edward Ernest Miller was my grandfather and this was his rosary. I like it because the beads remind me of pomegranite seeds.

The Catholic Sun
In a kaleidoscope of colors, sound and movement, more than 6,000 faithful in the Phoenix Diocese gathered to honor Mary in the most anticipated Catholic event of the year, Rosary Sunday.
Under her title Mary, Help of Christians, the 35th annual celebration continued its traditional offerings of confession, adoration, benediction and recitation of the rosary.
The downtown Phoenix Convention Center opened its doors Oct. 10 to ethnically diverse members of the Body of Christ whose public prayers in different tongues paid homage to Mary, especially for her protection of the unborn.
Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted was greeted with a standing ovation from an enthusiastic crowd that filled the seats, as others searched for open spots.
“Today, we see how Mary is the mother of all of us,” Bishop Olmsted said in his bilingual address.
Auxilary Bishop Eduardo Nevares, recently back from a trip to Rome, delivered an apostolic blessing from Pope Benedict, which was received with a round of applause.
Christy O’Gara said she attended the event for the second year with her six children so they could “see all those that love Jesus.”
“Now, more than ever, we desire to be together as witnesses to the world,” O’Gara said.

Depicted in the miniature altarpiece are the fifteen mysteries associated with the Virgin's life: five joyful, five sorrowful and five glorious. The scene at the base seems related to a popular legen of a miracle that saved a man from his captors: the Christ Child unfurls a rosary of white and red roses made from blossoms that issue from the man's mouth each time he recites a Hail Mary. The picture includes a topographical view of the park and Coudenberg Palace of the dukes of Brabant in Brussels and must have been commissioned for a member of the Habsburg court, possibly the lords of Ravensteyn. The artist proposed as the possible author was Rogier van der Weyden's grandson.

Scottsdale teens find spiritual enrichment in rosary
By Ambria Hammel, The Catholic Sun
March 20, 2008
SCOTTSDALE — Even though more than 20 young Catholics found themselves near St. Bernadette Parish during Mass time one Sunday, they never went inside.
Instead, they spent three hours trekking the one-mile block surrounding the church, praying the rosary for the intentions of fellow parishioners.
Their Rosary WalkAbout March 9 was both a fundraiser and a spiritual exercise to prepare the teenagers for this summer’s two-week World Youth Day pilgrimage in Sydney, Australia.
“We were looking for something that would involve the kids’ spirituality and prepare them for this pilgrimage,” said Gretchen McGill, a mother of one of the 29 youth and young adults going to World Youth Day from St. Bernadette’s.
The walk also let the community know about the popular Catholic pilgrimage.
The youth spent half of the WalkAbout praying the joyful and luminous mysteries of the rosary as a large group. They circled the parish grounds in smaller groups for the remainder of their journey, meditating on the sorrowful and glorious mysteries.

This little silver cross with diamond has been a favorite of mine since high school. I made a traditional rosary out of it with hematite beads and clear Swarovski crystal.
Muslim rosary of 33 beads. Each one has the name of God beaded into it. This one was made by a Palestinian man who is in an Israeli jail; selling these is a way of supporting his family. Purchased in Hebron.
I had the elements for this rosary for years, but couldn't decide what I wanted for the beads.
I used fossilized coral and moonstones.

10 bloodstone Hail Mary beads and 1 white turquoise Our Father bead, blended with silver Bali spacers and tiny creamy pearlescent beads and a large silver shamrock charm form this penal rosary, which I have connected to a convenient split-ring keyring for ease of transport. Attach this to your keyring and have your rosary everywhere you go.
What is a penal rosary? Penal rosaries date back to a time in Ireland when being seen with a rosary was an offense punishable by death. The Irish penal rosary evolved so that the rosary might be prayed in secret, the beads carried unobtrusively in a pocket, hidden in the hand. An entire rosary might be prayed by using the same set of beads five times, moving the ring from one finger to the next.
