The Story Behind the Shirt
A friar who heard confessions from dawn to dusk. St. Pio of Pietrelcina, a Capuchin at San Giovanni Rotondo, prayed the Rosary every day, and he is often quoted calling it his "weapon." His biographer wrote that the Rosary was his "habitual prayer" and his "weapon" against the powers of hell: aimed at the enemy of souls, never at a man. The Catechism calls it "an epitome of the whole Gospel."
On the back: a rosary of deep-red beads falling from the top of the design, past its center medal to a crucifix set in a burst of gold rays, above "THIS IS MY WEAPON" and "THE HOLY ROSARY." On the chest: the original 1765 A Co. mark in our founder's own hand. More Catholic gifts for men.
