At the center of the bracelet is a Benedictine Cross, a symbol of prayer for protection and grace embodied in a medal. God created us, with all our needs and yearnings, and only a spousal relationship centered on God can flourish to the full. The five stones on either side of the cross stand for your beloved and you — you each share an equal dignity, and as the numeral 10 in biblical tradition represents, together you are complete, you are the image of God in this world. Look at the bracelet, feel it on your wrist, touch each bead, and pray for each other and for your union; touch each gemstone and be comforted, because you know you are loved, united, and protected.
