| 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. Prayer beads are also beautiful works of art, both as a creation of our hands, and as little pieces of the creation of God. The natural stones, colorful gems, and sparkling crystals are a joy to view, as well as to hold. I began beading at a time when I needed something simple to provide a diversion from the stresses and the busy-ness of the day. I discovered a contemplative prayer in each creation, and a new ministry to others. |
