About
The Fearless Rosary Chaplet

“The Rosary is a powerful weapon.
Use it with confidence and you’ll be amazed at the results.”
~ St. Josemaria Escriva

The Rosary is a powerful prayer. In many apparitions, the Blessed Mother has spoken countless times to various saints and visionaries about its efficacy. It is undeniable that throughout history faithful Catholics have experienced profound graces and miracles by prayerfully reciting the rosary. One of the greatest graces of the Rosary is that it establishes peace in our hearts, homes and society. Today, as we look around at the troubling events taking place, it is evident that we need the grace of God’s peace to once again quell the turbulence of these present times.

As the confusion, error and violence continue to swarm around us and saturate almost every corner of our culture; we can easily become discouraged, overwhelmed, and fearful at the events unfolding before our eyes. With that in mind, Patchwork Heart Ministry has prayerfully composed the “Fearless Rosary Chaplet,” using uplifting and encouraging verses from the Word of God that remind us to “be not afraid,” and to place our hope and trust in God.

In these most difficult of times, it is our prayer that by meditating with this rosary chaplet you might encounter the grace of God’s peace and confidently trust in His goodness no matter the circumstance.
