The news of Pope Benedict has rendered me speechless today, but they say that a picture is worth a thousand words. So here are 6,000 words for you.
"Poor men and women who are sinners, I, a greater sinner than you, wish to give you this rose, a crimson one, because the precious blood of our Lord has fallen upon it....may it save you from the danger that you are in. Every day unbelievers and un-repentant sinners cry, "Let us crown ourselves with roses" (Wis. 2:8). But our cry should be, "Let us crown ourselves with the roses of the holy Rosary." -St.Louis de Montfort
Are the roses burgundy? I like that crucifix.
ReplyDeleteLena, it's kind of a deep purple. I mixed a dark pink with red.
