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+

Outstanding Rosary

The Black Monk Rosary - Strong Unbreakable Paracord Rosary. Just to tell you a bit about it, it is the one of the best rosaries I've ever come across. Its aesthetics are well-thought-out and the build quality is absolutely striking.

What I particularly appreciate about it is that despite being so finely made, it doesn't compromise on durability. The rosary is pretty strong and unbreakable which drew me in initially. I've owned a few rosaries in the past but none have quite matched the durability of this one. It's honestly refreshing to not have to worry about it breaking or wearing out easily.

I work in law enforcement which can quite often be demanding and stressful. In such circumstances, this rosary is not just a product for me, it's a source of joy and peace. It's a profound part of my faith journey that continuously reminds me of my spiritual commitment. I wear it with pride, not just as a religious symbol, but as a statement of my beliefs and values.

I extend my gratitude to all those involved in making such an incredible product. I truly appreciate the effort put into each element, to provide us with an item that goes beyond serving its purpose.

I just wanted to say 'Thank You' for the work you've put into making such great products that instill a sense of peace in our hearts and enhance our faith. May God bless each and every one of you for your endeavors.

Black Monk power rosary

The black monk rosary is strong and hefty in a man's hand without being overly heavy to handle. The medal in the rosary helps you to bring the intercession of St. Benedict to your prayers. The optional medals help give you the chance to invoke your favorite saint's prayers to the intercession of Our Lady. A great addition to any man's prayer arsenal.
