The Rosary: A Fashion Statement

4:51 AM 9 Comments
A lot of people today are already wearing the Rosary as part of their get up. I searched for some forums and I found out that they have 2 common opinions about it; 1. It's ok to wear it to express your faith but for fashion, it's not ok., 2. It's a jewerly. Wear it!.


hmm..I can clearly tell which statements are from which group of people. ^_^

For my own opinion, I think wearing the rosary is like mocking the beliefs of Catholics. I also doubt that a true Catholic nor a Christian would disrespect it. I also read a comment that said "why is it ok to wear the Buddhist beads and not the Rosary?"; I think it is because the Buddhist beads are meant to be worn and the Rosary is not.

The Roman Catholic Church states: "Sacred objects, set aside for divine worship by dedication or blessing, are to be treated with reverence. They are not to be made over to secular or inappropriate use, even though they may belong to private persons".

We do have our own ways of showing our faith and love for Jesus and for Catholics, praying the rosary is one. Praying the rosary strengthens our faith and help us to meditate the promises of Christ. And even though some Christians question our ways, I still believe that none of them would wear it like it is just a jewerly. I believe that they respect us. I also strongly believe that the most important thing and the only thing that would erase our differences is our love for Jesus-the Son of God, our Savior.


Anyway, enough of my thoughts! I want to hear from you... ^_^
