When we think about Mary, we tend to think a lot about how women have been helped. I know many men who have also been helped. A few weeks ago, Crossbound rosaries offered me one of their manly paracord rosaries. I want to offer it as the prize for the best story by a man about how Mary helped him. I think this is also a great way to celebrate the month of the rosary.

Here are 3 pictures of the rosary:

Rules:

Entries must be received by Monday, October 10th at 2pm Eastern.. Entry is open to males only age 12 and up. Stories must be about the author (male relatives from the past 100 years can also work). By entering you give me permission to publish your comments. (I will only put a first name and last initial to protect privacy.) I will pick what I think is the best entry. My decision of a winner is final and cannot be appealed even though it is likely subjective. I will contact the winner via email to mail them the rosary.

No more submissions accepted. Winner announced soon.
