“Rosary Man Jim”

My Friends,

Wow, now I get the chance to share about one of the most precious parts of my life. I am ever grateful that the kids at St. Patrick's Church, gave me the title "Rosary-Man", that couldn't sum up my life more perfectly than that. Those little beads represent more than a "Hail Mary" or an "Our Father" in my life. Each bead draws me ever so much closer to my Lord. Each bead with His mother's help draws me ever so much closer to my Lord. Each bead with the Holy Spirit's help draws me ever so much closer to my Lord. Are you starting to see a pattern? LOL. These fantastic little beads mean so much to me; not the actual beads (of cause you understand), but the fact is, that they draw me ever so much closer to Him. I always have my Rosary Beads with me. Because I do spontaneously prayer the Rosary. Way back when I was in business with my dad, I literally did just that, almost like an addiction, I would secretly, every chance I got, I prayed the Rosary. And long before Pope John Paul II added the Luminous Mysteries, I use to pray additional decades for many scriptures from the Gospels. Celebrating our Lord's mysteries, miracles and parables. I consider my life fully dedicated to the JOY of the Rosary, hence the name “Beads of Joy” began so many years ago.

Now many of you know, many of the secrets that give me the overflowing endlessly abundant Joy that I am always talking about. With that said, let it be known that it's these beads that hold the greatest percentage of where it all comes from. "Beads of Joy" are just that to me. If I had to grab onto one thing (possession) and in the end have nothing else, I would make sure I had my rosary beads. I am a very simple person, I still have the very first set of rosary beads, my mom got me in 1983, and yes, I do use them on occasion. I also treasure the very first mission rosary beads I ever made in 1989 (those are the ones I wear and use every single day). Those two sets of beads are so precious to me. If you were to see them, you'd think they were a hundred years old from all the wear and tear and all the years they have been around. Yet I cherish them. They represent as of now, my 35-year journey to our Lord and our Lady, by my side. There is something about "Rosary Beads" that sparks a tremendous amount of Joy in my heart and in my soul. I simply see them as my link to my Lord and His Precious Mother.

So am I addicted to the Rosary? I think so, but I think of it in a good way. I am addicted to how wonderfully special it is to chat with Jesus and His Mother every single day. And I think the most special part of the Rosary, is when I get to share the joy of it with others and pray the Rosary with them. My life is fully 100% devoted to spreading the Joy of these fantastic fabulous precious beads and to tell everyone about how beautiful our Lord's mother is. I shall have on my tombstone, "Beneath this ground, the Rosary Man is buried. - Free rosaries available on the left side of the tombstone." LOL... Ok, maybe a little insane, I guess. I really don't care if no one knows my birth name, I am so honored that the kids at my church (St Patrick's - Milford, PA) gave me that name. For all of you who don't know the story. Many years ago, we had a Rosary Maker's Guild (couples, families, kids), and I coordinated all the supplies, and did all the shipping. Well, all that was pretty much done through the sacristy, but because of the popularity of it all, we always had friends over our home, swapping out supplies and even in the church parking lot. Well the kids always referred to me as "The Rosary Man". I fell in love with that title, so I adopted it way back then, and still from time to time now and then, hear someone call me the Rosary Man.
My tendencies at times always draw me to the mysteries. Meaning that I look at life through the eyes of the Rosary, hence through the Gospel. Did that make sense? I know it didn't fully, sorry, I just like making up words and phrases. I really wish that you to have the same type of crazy love Joy, that I have over the Rosary. It is the most incredible feeling every single day. Jesus is the absolute center of every single thing I do, in my prayers, my thoughts, my writings, etc. And I find that the Rosary keeps me right on track each and every day. Many a times, I have prayed a decade of, "Jesus, I trust in You." I hope y'all don't think I am weird with all this, but this is who I am. "The Rosary Man."
