“I plead with you - never, ever give up on hope, never doubt, never tire, and never become discouraged. Be not afraid.” Pope St. John Paul II

It seems as though “be not afraid” was one of JPII’s pontifical mottos. Though I wasn’t even Catholic when JPII was pope, his words are seemingly evergreen. His motto will transcend many years and apply to a myriad of situations. However, in this case, it’s the perfect reminder for those moments when anxiety and stress creep in to continually hope and trust in God!  

We love this necklace paired with our Scapular Style Necklace!

  • Necklaces: 18 inches
  • Bracelets: 7 inches
  • Rings: 7-8

    Great Gift for a Friend who is Struggling

    I bought two of these for my sisters who are ER physicians. They wear them to work to remind them of God’s Power. Great message and great quality product.

    Necklace

    I am so happy with my necklace from Stella and Tide. It is so very beautiful and I can tell it was made with love. Along with it was a Thank you card saying I would be prayed for and to ask for my prayers which I am glad to give. I give this product a 5 star rating and would definitely buy from this lovely Shop again. Thank you for the opportunity to share.
