information about prayer beads

  • Catholic Rosary Beads -

    The Rosary is an old prayer that is always new, leading us to Jesus through Mary. We can trace the beginning of the Rosary to the 12th century when the people who could not read or write would count their prayers on a string of beads. The word rosarius means a garland or bouquet of roses. An early legend connected this word with a story of Our Lady who was seen to take rosebuds from the lips of a young monk when he was reciting Hail Marys and to weave them into a garland, which she placed upon her head. The Blessed Mother urged everyone to pray the Rosary during her apparitions at Fatima, Portugal. She called herself the 'Lady of the Rosary', and promised that the Rosary would help people grow in their faith, convert sinners and bring about world peace. The feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated on October 7th when all are invited to meditate upon the mysteries of Christ, following the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary who was so particularly connected with the incarnation, passion and glorious resurrection of the Son of God.

    Anglican Rosary Beads -

    Anglican Prayer Beads are a relatively new form of prayer, blending the Orthodox Jesus Prayer Rope and the Roman Catholic Rosary. The thirty-three bead design was created by the Rev. Lynn Bauman in the mid-1980s, through the prayerful exploration and discovery of a contemplative prayer group. The prayer beads are made up of twenty-eight beads divided into four groups of seven called weeks. In the Judeo-Christian tradition the number seven represents spiritual perfection and completion. Between each week is a single bead, called a cruciform bead as the four beads form a cross. The invitatory bead between the cross and the wheel of beads brings the total to thirty-three, the number of years in Jesus’ earthly life.

    The use of the rosary or prayer beads helps to bring us into contemplative of meditative prayer—really thinking about and being mindful of praying, of being in the presence of God—by use of mind, body, and spirit. The touching of the fingers on each successive bead is an aid in keeping our mind from wandering, and the rhythm of the prayers leads us more readily into stillness.

    Car Rosary Beads -

    A loving reminder that God is always watching over us, putting a small rosary over your rear view car mirror will often inspire you to pray and think of God while you're driving. Saint Christopher medals and Our Lady of the Highway images featured on the rosaries will also bring you protection and assistance whilst travelling.

  • daily prayers

    • The Our Father: Our Father, who art in heaven hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen

      The Hail Mary: Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

    • Anglican Prayer: Eternal God and Father, by whose power we are created and by whose love we are redeemed: guide and strengthen us by your Spirit, that we may give ourselves to your service, and live this day in love to one another and to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

    • Anglican Prayer: O LORD our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, who hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day: Defend us in the same with your mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither fall into any kind of danger; but that all our doings may be ordered by thy governance, to do always that is righteous in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
