Product Overview

Theology of the Body Rosary Meditations

Contemplating Christ's Love for His Bride the Church

 

This book, by Debbie Staresinic, uses St. John Paul II's own words, and words of other popes and saints to help you meditate on the Holy Rosary thru the view of the Theology of the Body.  The Theology of the Body was the topic of 129 talks given by St. John Paul II between 1979 and 1984.  From the book:

Theology of the Body is St. John Paul II's teaching on what it means to be human.  It explains what it means to be made - male and female - in the image and likeness of God, addressing the questions:  Who am I?  Why am I here? How do I find happiness.

This book leads you thru the rosary from that theology.

In this book, meditate on Jesus as the Bridegroom of the Church - in every mystery.  Looking at the mysteries from that perspective opens your eyes to them.  Each mystery features a quote from the Theology of the Body and an illustration.  There is a meditation then the Voices of the Church, quotes from other Popes and saints to help you understand or to reinforce each mystery.  Lastly there is a short prayer.

Lisa’s Catholic Treasures

For half a century, I’ve collected Catholic-themed wood carvings, figurines and nativities. I began selling them to family and friends via open houses 15 years ago and added an online side to the business eight years back. Now, I’ve gone far beyond figurines and nativities and I have hundreds  of different items available for sale.

Online Catholic Store

Our online store is just the place to shop for gifts or items for your own home.  We have the basics:  saints, angels and Holy Family figurines, rosaries, crucifixes, and jewelry.  You will also find items related to the sacraments - Baptism, First Holy Communion, Confirmation, as well as Advent, Christmas and Easter.

We also carry religious books from board books, storybooks, young readers, adults and bibles for all ages.  Bibles include storybook and graphic novels for young people, those designed for First Holy Communion, middle school age, high school age, and adults.  You will find New American, New Catholic, NRSV-Catholic Edition and Spanish Bibles.

There is a variety of toys available on the website as well.  We carry a large selection of Shining Light Dolls and jigsaw puzzles with a scattering of plush, saints, activity sets and more.

No matter what type of Catholic treasure you’re looking for, you’re likely to find it right here on this website.

My Background

My interest in Catholic figurines and carvings can be traced back to my teenage years when my parents brought back a woodcarving of the Madonna and Child from their trip to Europe to give to my grandparents. I searched for that same style of carving for years, but eventually received the original when my father died. But the quest has guided me and led me to start this business of providing Catholic treasures to family, friends, and new friends.

My husband and I are lifelong Catholics from the Midwest, who met at a church in Colorado. We’re still active in our local parish community more than four decades later. My husband, three grown children and their families have all helped with the business.
