EnglishCombat Rosary
The Palais du Rosaire, a Lourdes family business founded in 1914, offers its selection of combat rosaries, sturdy and made to go with you everywhere. Also known as the soldier's rosary, this solid model slips into a pocket and is worn every day, in prayer as much as in times of trial. It combines the strength of its build with the force of the spiritual combat it evokes.
What a combat rosary is made of
The combat rosary often brings together several devotional elements on a single object. It frequently features the Miraculous Medal, the medal of Saint Benedict, known for its dimension of protection, and the crucifix known as the "Pardon Crucifix". Its chain and beads are chosen to withstand daily and prolonged use, which explains the sturdiness that is typical of this rosary.
How to pray the combat rosary
The combat rosary is prayed like any other rosary: you say the Rosary, decade after decade, meditating on the mysteries of the life of Christ and the Virgin Mary. What sets it apart is not the way it is recited but the intention: it accompanies the believer's spiritual combat, their perseverance in faith and their prayer for protection. Many pray it every day, alone or as a family, in a spirit of trust.
A devotion of protection and perseverance
This rosary belongs to a long tradition of prayer for protection and inner strength. In the same spirit, many of the faithful turn to the Saint Michael rosary, invoked against evil, or the Saint Benedict rosary, associated with the protection of the home.
Who to give a combat rosary to
Thanks to its sturdiness, the combat rosary is a valued gift to accompany someone through a trial, support a loved one in their faith, or mark a spiritual milestone. It suits an adult committed to a life of prayer as much as a young person you wish to encourage on their path.
