Woolworths and Rosaries

I was at Woolies yesterday looking for a new pair of jean (the only pair I had was just too faded) and I saw what I thought to be rosaries! Woolworths selling sacramentals?! Not quite.

On closer inspection, they seemed to be nothing more than fashion accessories. They had plain crosses and the division of decades wasn’t right either.

Some of the crosses fell off and were lying around.

They must be selling I suppose. Commercialism.

Until someone complains about the crosses…

    Complaints will come sooner rather than later I expect……..and stock withdrawn!
    Probably not imported from you-know-where!

  2. Sad, but that’s the “world”! The real Cross was of course a real crucifixion! And the real Christian must live that “Cross” and “cruciform” in the spirituality of redemptive suffering, which is always “Christ”, Himself!

    • Btw, we must admit sadly, that both in visible Church movements (High & Low), as Theology, it has its fashions and even fads! Sadly too, some so-called “theologians” write and make their living here! Lord God, send us men and women too, that live in your presence, and that don’t tickle our ears!
