"The Maltese Cross - the four arms represent the Cardinal virtues of Prudence, Temperance, Justice and Fortitude. The eight points are to remind you of the Beatitudes: To Manifest spiritual joy, To Live without malice, To weep over your sins, To humble yourself to those who injure you, To love justice, To be merciful, To be sincere and pure of heart, To endure persecution for the Lord's sake.
The Eight Petal Rose represents regeneration, purity, associated with the Virgin Mary. 'The cross represents the human body and the rose represents the individual's unfolding consciousness.' "
