In this, the year of when I recycle rosaries, I chanced upon another opportunity. 

Some time ago I found in the junk box at my parish a really old rosary. Ornate. On the centerpiece medal was an image of the Sacred Heart and on the reverse side the words, ‘This is my body, this is my blood.” Whoah! So naturally, I grabbed it. It wasn’t until I got home that I discovered one of the decades was missing four beads. 

So I laid it aside until I got inspiration. After my three previous attempts at recycling broken rosaries into chaplets (see the link in the first sentence for my past recycling projects) I figured that since the centerpiece was very Eucharisticy, there should be a Eucharist chaplet or some other Christological chaplet I might convert it into. Nope, not until last night did I find an appropriate one (I hadn’t been looking too hard, before.) 

Here  are three images of it (they’re typically blurry, sorry):

The typical Blessed Sacrament Chaplet DOES NOT have the Crucifix, but I chose to add it. I don’t think Jesus would mind. 

Here’s the Sacred Heart image:

And, lastly, the wording:

If you want to know how to say the chaplet, please go to this Catholic Doors page.

I DO NOT MAKE THESE CHAPLETS FOR SALE, SO PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR ONE. I just get a thrill recycling broken rosaries and I like sharing the results.

I have a new book! "The Sober Catholic Way" is a handbook on how anyone can live a sober life, drawn from over 17 years of SoberCatholic posts! It's out now on "Amazon," "Apple Books," "B&N" and and others!"!

My two other books are still available! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
