Hey there,
I’ve said it before, I love everything about the Rosary.
I love praying the Rosary.
I love collecting Rosaries.
And I even love making Rosaries.
I’ve been introduced to Chaplets on social media in recent years.
I don’t recall learning about Chaplets in my 12 years of Catholic education.
So I guess it’s no surprise I’ve never prayed a Chaplet before.
Given my love for the Rosary, I decided it was time to learn all about Chaplets. So this week’s issue of Genuflect looks at what a Chaplet is, the difference between Chaplets and Rosaries, Chaplets you can pray on your Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, a lot of other Chaplet devotionals, and some beautiful, handcrafted Chaplets.
Yes, it’s shocking I’ve never prayed a Chaplet before … or have I? I learned something new this week. And If you’ve never prayed a Chaplet before … you may be in for a surprise in this week’s resources too!
