Theology of the Body Rosary Meditations

Theology of the Body Rosary Meditations

Contemplating Christ’s Love for His Bride the Church

In this year where we have been celebrating the events at Fatima, where Our Lady again asked us to always pray the Rosary, comes a new rosary meditation.

Saint John Paul II loved the rosary and called it his favorite prayer. Between 1979 and 1984, Saint John Paul II gave us his Theology of the Body in 129 Wednesday Audiences. He looked at Christ’s reflections on marriage and words of Christ relating to virginity, celibacy and marriage, among other topics.

Debbie Staresinic has blended what Saint John Paul II has given us in his Theology of the Body Contemplating Christ’s Love for His Bride the Church, with his love of the Rosary. She has given us thoughtful and inspirational meditations on each of the twenty mysteries

With every mystery, she takes a look at the impact of Jesus and his life in fulfilling his role as the Bridegroom of the Church. The two page spread for each mystery features artwork and a quote from the Theology of the Body (TOB). There is also a meditation on this, followed by a quote from a pope or saint. Each page/mystery ends with a short prayer.

Let this book open your eyes to a new way to look at the mysteries we have been praying for years. God created us in his own image, and gave us his only son. This perspective helps us to follow Jesus as he lived God’s promise to us.

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.
