Many thanks to those of you who offered to send along rosaries in response to my post the other day in which I mentioned that I hadn’t yet got one. Perhaps you would like to hear the sequel?
I was loitering about in front of my church on Sunday waiting for the noon High Mass when I decided to stick my nose into the little bookstore/broom closet that sits off the lobby, which happened to be open. It is presided over by a sweet little old lady who has been a the church forever and who I knew because she liked to come to the RCIA classes I took.
Well, as I was scanning the books and whatnot and chatting, I noticed a little corner of the shop dedicated to the sale of rosaries. Thinking on what we’d been talking about here, I picked out a nice black and silver set much like this one, only with a B-16 commemorative medal.
So there we are. Now all I need to do is track down a priest to bless it, and we’ll be fully up and running.

Have you memorized the mysteries yet?

There’s no dishonor in cliffnotes.

Congratulations! Get more than one! Especially useful–for carrying through airport security–are ones with no metal, i.e., with wooden beads and cords. I confess that the one I usually carry around with me (in a little sheepskin pouch–so it doesn’t get all tangled up in stuff in my pocket) kept the metal detectors going off until I finally pried off the metal corpus. Didn’t like doing that, but there you go. Maybe you could find one with zero metal, I know they’re out there.

Mine are wooden, with a rope cord. The corpus is small, and fortunately does not set off airport alarms.
However, my St. Benedict Medal, which I carry in the other pocket, usually does.
