vessel & reed was born out of a desire to use the gifts the Lord has given me to bring glory to His Kingdom. By ourselves we are not capable of much, but if we allow the Spirit of the Lord to live in us and through us, He can bring forth beauty, Truth, and goodness into a world in need of such. By emptying myself of the gifts of art and music the Lord has given me, I hope to become His vessel & reed.
OUR LADY OF THE SEA ROSARY
Inspired by Mary’s title “Star of the Sea”.
St. Thomas Aquinas said, “As mariners are guided into port by the shining of a star, so Christians are guided to Heaven by Mary.” We look to Mary on our path to Heaven and know she will guide us home.
BELOVED ROSARY
Inspired by Mary’s own heart.
She is beloved by the Father and always trusted so. We look to her for guidance as we trust in the Lord when He calls us His beloved children.
LITTLE FLOWER ROSARY
Inspired by St. Therese of Lisieux, the little flower herself.
She said, “To ask something of the Blessed Virgin is not the same as to ask something of God. She knows well what to do with all my little desires and it is for her to decide whether to ask for them or not.” May we follow her lead and entrust all of our intentions to our Blessed Mother.
