I’m creating an art project involving rosaries. At the end of my project, all the rosaries I’ve made or received will be sent to the border and given to detainees upon their release. From what I’ve heard, many detainees have their rosaries and religious articles confiscated. Some detention centers will offer rosaries with access to the chapel.
What I need: if you have any spare rosaries or if you MAKE rosaries, I need as many as possible. I’m trying to make as many as I can, but I simply don’t have enough time or supplies. Message me with your interest. I’m thinking of using a PO Box instead of my actual address to protect my anonymity.
“Now let me tell you that the will of God is all that is necessary, and what it does not give you is of no use to you at all. My friends, you lack nothing. You would be very ashamed if you knew what the experiences you call setbacks, upheavals, pointless disturbances, and tedious annoyances really are. You would realize that your complaints about them are nothing more nor less than blasphemies – though that never occurs to you. Nothing happens to you except by the will of God, and yet His beloved children curse it because they do not know it for what it is.” ― Fr. Jean-Pierre de Caussade, S.J., Abandonment to Divine Providence
“Christian love bears evil, but it does not tolerate it. It does penance for the sins of others, but it is not broadminded about sin. The cry for tolerance never induces it to quench its hatred of the evil philosophies that have entered into contest with the Truth. It forgives the sinner, and it hates the sin; it is unmerciful to the error in his mind. The sinner it will always take back into the bosom of the Mystical Body; but his lie will never be taken into the treasury of His Wisdom. Real love involves real hatred: whoever has lost the power of moral indignation and the urge to drive the buyers and sellers from the temples has also lost a living, fervent love of Truth. Charity, then, is not a mild philosophy of “live and let live”; it is not a species of sloppy sentiment. Charity is the infusion of the Spirit of God, which makes us love the beautiful and hate the morally ugly.” – Fulton Sheen
