Anglican Prayer Beads, Rosary - Emerald & Black Czech Glass

The use of Prayer Beads fosters contemplative prayer by using the body, mind, and spirit. The pressure of the fingers on each successive bead helps to keep the mind from wandering. The rhythm of the prayer leads one more readily into stillness and concentration. Since ancient times, people of many cultures have used pebbles or a string of knots or beads to keep track of prayers. One can find some form of prayer beads in many of the world's religions. There are several prayers appropriate for use with your beads. It is encouraged that each prayer community develop their own prayer, enlisting into the prayer the concerns of the community, the church universal and appropriate praise. It is this flexibility that makes praying with prayer beads open to people of all faiths. The Anglican form of this method of prayer was created by an Episcopal priest and came out of a contemplative prayer group that met in the mid 1980s. There is no right or wrong way to use your beads. Each set of beads comes with an instructional prayer brochure. Keep in mind that the best prayer may be a spontaneous one.
