As children of God, we love to speak to Mary, who is not only our mother but the mother of God Himself. Mary gives us a path to pray, and that path is the rosary.
In this simple yet emotional piece, the Virgin Mary extends the rosary to her children, inviting us to pray with her. The statue will remind you, every day, of how powerful praying the rosary can be.
