If one would talk to beads,
It might seem strange and odd,
As though the beads could do something for us.
But the prayer beads cannot do anything.
They hold no power of their own.
We use them to meditate,
To enter a frame of mind
That helps us learn the story of Jesus
And grow in his grace and knowledge.
They help us grow in Christ consciousness,
And draw closer to Christ
In mind and heart.
For the beads focus our mind
On the one we are praying to...
Jesus Christ our Lord.
It may look like we are praying to Mary,
But we are going to Jesus through Mary,
The same way Jesus came to us through her.
Yes, it looks like we are talking to beads,
But we are not.
We are meditating on the life of Jesus
Through prayers to Mary.
Amen
