This Rosary was inspired in 2016 by Fr. SJMC+ who authored the poem, The Monks: 
 

The Monks


The huge silver teapots
that adorn the refectory table
and the velvety jam
gingerly spread
over thick wedges.
Quaint English civility
that masks what happens beneath.

As these black clad brothers retire
there is no convivial conversation
over cigars and brandy by roaring fire,
they return to their work
their continued encounter
with His divine self.

The rain, in sheets, lashes the rooftops
and the wind, whipped up, attempts
to penetrate the panes in windows
which rattle in their frames
and give rise to the feeling
that this is a fortress
in the great battle beyond.

These men in humble habits
are warriors for a world  we rarely see
yet they dwell in for life.
Each worldly distraction,
each body afflicted with illness
or the fragility of mortality
is but a speck in the grand plan
of the eternity they bear witness to
and becomes nothing more
than fodder for their prayers
which continue to rise
like the obsidian winged companion
of their Holy founding father.

He who took the fire
which was kindled in the East
and built around it a school
that we may too learn
how to fan the embers
embedded in our souls
that they may burst into flame
for Him, who calls
each and every disciple
to be a monk in ordinary life
with singularity of focus
to prefer nothing
to the love of Christ.

SJMC+

Beautiful, black rosary made to last!

I am so glad I saw the ad for Rugged Rosaries shortly before committing to ordering from another online store. This is my first 'full' (all five decades) rosary I have purchased. The Black Monk rosary is beautiful from top to bottom. The cross is larger than your average rosary cross and with such detail! The beads are also larger than most rosaries and I have come to really like them, especially as a man with larger hands. I really feel the weight and substance of the rosary in my hands while praying. The paracord is thick and strong, and has a black mixed with gray color. I added the Sacred Heart silver medal as well as St. Therese, since she is the patron saint of my parish. Also, I highly recommend buying the black logo rosary zip pouch, as the rosary fits well inside and makes it easy to transport in your work or school bag.

Say yes to the daily Rosary

If you are devoted to the Rosary, then plan on acquiring one beautiful Rosary after another and simply put them in a rotation. Even better, give one to a friend or family member every chance you get and then buy another of the same to replace the one you just gave away. Repeat this cycle and make it your ministry. You will never regret the money spent and the gift given. The b
Black Monk is the top second from the right.
