The Benefits of Prayer Beads

The short prayers and the meditation help keep the mind from wondering. The mind is content with something to do. The mind can be quieted from the many other things it craves to think about.

The movement from bead to bead gives the body something to do and allows the body to be content and more relaxed.

With the mind and body lulled by the repetition and the meditations, the way is paved to be lost with God in silent prayer, the place of forgiveness, healing and blessing.

Prayer beads may be used to help memorize scripture. Choose the verse that speaks to your life. Offer the verse as a prayer, saying the verse once for each bead on the rosary. This is praying the scripture.

Each person has to discover for himself or herself the way to make prayer a time of communion with God. The only way to find out whether this form of prayer is beneficial for you is to try it yourself.
