“Fear the Day of Judgment: be in dread of hell. Ardently desire everlasting life with deep spiritual longing. Keep death daily before your eyes (Rule Of Benedict 4: 44-47).”

“Memento Mori” translates from the Latin to “Remember that you shall die”. It reminds you of the rite you hear when ashes are smudged in a cross upon your forehead for Ash Wednesday:  “Remember Man that thou are dust and unto dust thou shall return."  Skull rosaries date back to the late middle ages!

Prayer: Dear merciful God, thank you for loving me and showing me mercy when I did not deserve your favor. Please continue to awaken, reawaken, and constantly awaken within me a deep desire for the things above where Christ is seated with the Father. In gratitude I rejoice that the sting of death has lost its power in Christ Jesus, our Lord. Amen.

Absolutely overshot my expectations

These Rosaries are built with such quality. They feel good to hold, and they don’t cheap out on materials. Aesthetically they’re gorgeous. It’s functional art, a prayer tool and weapon that’ll be passed down. I’m glad I didn’t go the cheaper route. These are exceptional, and the ability to customize it makes it all the more special!

Great Quality, perfect size.

This is my 3rd rosary I’ve purchased and is a gift for a friend. The size is perfect, a little smaller than the other two I bought. I’m not a huge fan of the cross pendant, I wish it had a little more definition and looked a little less cheap. However overall it’s still an beautiful piece and look forward to gifting another some day!

Love it!

I am so very pleased with my Memento Mori rosary! I switched out the crucifix for the Irish/Celtic cross and RR dif an amazing job. The shipping was incredibly fast, and the customer service is outstanding! The design is beautiful and meaningful. The beads aren't as heavy as I was expecting (not sure why I thought they'd be heavy) but I just love the craftsmanship of this thing.

I have always struggled with "prayer ADHD" so to speak. The idea of using a rosary to help me stay focused and using a tactile item to enhance cognition while praying has truly helped me improve my prayer life.

Thank you Rugged Rosaries for your amazing items, and God bless!

One day closer

St. Benedict exhorts us: “Keep death daily before your eyes, I spend most Thursday's at the cemetery, preparing my homily and contemplating my death. My
Memento Mori rosary is with me every trip, it is rugged enough to handle whatever I encounter and is never out of place. The red & black cord is my choice as it represents death and the blood of Jesus to me. The pardon crucifix is a added bonus. RR is just that RUGGED, beautiful and a blessed sacramental. We are all in line we just don't know who will be called next. Pray for us St. Benedict

Matching rosaries made to order

I fell in love with the momento mori rosary I wanted a pocket rosary to match it. So I ordered both. I used the Saint Michael pocket as a template. Matching cord, and replacing the gold need for a skull like on the bigger one.
