Onyx is the Stone of Self Mastery and Self Control. It is a very spiritual stone that strengthens the connection of the spiritual and the physical. It is helpful during periods of grief and mourning, and helps us with letting go. It is used as a protection stone to repel negativity. The ancient Hebrews connected this stone to the Angel Gabriel. It has been used through the centuries for rosary beads and helps to soothe fears and worries.
A rosary is like a journey into Mary's Garden, telling the story of Jesus' life one bead at a time. Rosaries get their name outlet from the first rosary beads which were made using dried rose petals. The rosary is a powerful tradition of prayer and is important in these times in our efforts for bringing peace and love to all corners of the earth. Paul directed us to "Pray unceasingly;" Mother Mary, in her present day visitations to the visionaries of Medjugorje, asks for daily rosary prayers. Making rosaries is my answer to a spiritual call and is a personal sacred mission. I am thrilled each time one of my prayer beads finds its 'home.'
May prayer and faith work miracles in your life.
Blessed be.
