Custom Sacred Heart Chaplet
In reading about this chaplet as I first started to pray it, I learned that the 33 beads, in five groups of 6 beads and one group of 3 beads, represent the 33 years that Jesus lived on earth, and may be done in red to represent the Precious Blood. The other 6 single beads may be done in white to represent the water from the side of Christ.
Not being a very visual person, I asked the Sisters for help finding the reddest red and whitest white for the beads. The resulting chaplet with 6mm bamboo coral and 6mm round freshwater pearls is so beautiful! The Sisters were also instrumental in pairing a crucifix with the subtle Sacred Heart center I selected.
Receiving the blessed chaplet has brought much Joy, and I look forward to praying it on a daily basis for years to come. Thank you, Sisters, for all your help, and for such an exquisite sacramental!
