The Penance and Mercy Rosary with Bohemian Glass is inspired by the infinite mercy of Jesus Christ, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and the profound spiritual message of Divine Mercy revealed to Saint Faustina Kowalska.
The design recalls the words of Jesus recorded in Saint Faustina's Diary:
“When you go to confession, know that I myself am waiting for you in the confessional.” — Diary of Saint Faustina Kowalska
At the heart of the Rosary, the two-sided centerpiece brings together the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy and Refuge of Sinners, and Rembrandt's celebrated masterpiece The Return of the Prodigal Son. These sacred images express the beauty of repentance, the joy of forgiveness, and God's unconditional love for those who return to Him.
The Crucifix recalls Christ's sacrifice as the ultimate expression of divine mercy, while the red and white Bohemian glass beads symbolize the Blood and Water flowing from the Heart of Jesus, as revealed in the Divine Mercy devotion.
Together, these elements create a Rosary centered on Divine Mercy, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, repentance, forgiveness, the Immaculate Virgin Mary, the Passion of Christ, and the infinite love of God.
A meaningful companion for prayer, examination of conscience, and preparation for Confession, this Rosary invites the faithful to approach God's mercy with humility, trust, and hope.
The Ghirelli® signature branding bar completes the Rosary as a mark of authenticity and Made in Italy craftsmanship.
