Last year, with the help of some friends, I was able to construct 1,000 Holy Rosaries that were distributed to overseas missionaries and military personnel deployed overseas. Last year, Rosaries were sent to missionaries in East Timor, to an orphanage and school in India, and thorughout the world as part of the Rosaries for the World project (a mission of Holy Cross Ministries). Today, we pray that the Rosaries we constructed have reached those in need of prayer aids, and brought them to Christ through the gracious intercession of Our Blessed Mother!
In part, this project was made possible through the financial donations of readers. If you would like to make a donation toward the Rosary Construction project, you may do so safely and securely through the PayPal link on the left-hand sidebar, or by clicking on the link below.

Today, we pray to Saint Joseph, husband of Our Blessed Mother, and earthly father of Jesus, to guide our mission and assist the work of our hands in glorifying the Lord!
Glorious Saint Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my many sins; to work with thankfulness and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop, by means of labor, the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, prudence and patience, never surrendering to weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention, and with detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all after thy example, O Patriarch Joseph. Such shall be my motto in life and death. Amen.
