St. Francis Pocket Paternoster

Focus your mind on the humility of Saint Francis with the St. Francis Pocket Paternoster.
One side of the Pocket Paternoster features an engraving of St. Francis. The saint looks at a crucifix as he holds a Rosary, instruments of mortification, the nails from the Arma Christ and of course a memento mori, a skull. A careful look at St. Francis reveals the stigmata on his hands and side in his patched and well-worn habit. On the other side of the crucifix is a simple prayer for what is needful in the Christian life, published under imprimatur in the Raccolta.
Like all Pocket Paternosters, the St. Francis Pocket Paternoster has an inset crucifix, followed by 10 inset 'beads', ending with an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary with the child Christ. Each 'bead' is inset with one of the 'Arma Christi', a medieval devotion for reflecting on the death of Jesus through the arms, or weapons used to win salvation.
Note: The Pocket Paternoster is sold without lighter fuel.
