The Path to a Life of Contemplation (walking with/in God) is found by being open to letting God find you. An awesome experiential life indeed |
|
"It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God, through Christ our Lord."
Excerpt from 'Contemplative Prayer'
by Thomas Merton.
"In meditation, we should not look for a 'method' or a 'system' but cultivate an 'attitude' and 'outlook' : faith, openness, attention, reverence, expectation, supplication, trust, joy. All these finally permeate our being with love in so far as our living faith tells us we are in the presence of God, that we live in Christ, that in the Spirit of God we 'see' God the Father without seeing. Faith is the bond that unites us with Him in the Spirit who gives us light and love.

~ Jesus Prayer Beads ~
This prayer experience is found in the silence of the soul. You are not praying for the purpose of just praying (often asking); you are praying in communion (common-union) with God. Although the suggested words or phrases below are repeated with each bead, the expectation is that the Holy Spirit (God) will infuse within you the grace of the mysteries of the Divine Kingdom, of which you are an heir. As promised in the Scripture, yes, you and I can know God, albeit dimly. Keep in mind (soul), as Son of God and Son of Man, Jesus is the complete revelation of God to us.
Originating in the 4th Century, the suggested words and phrases are repeated with a deep sense of heart (yours) within Heart (God’s):
“Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” Traditionally (since the 4th Century) this is said with controlled breathing: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God" … is said as the breath is taken in, and … "have mercy on me, a sinner" … is said as the breath is let out.
You can use any word of love and/or praise God puts in your heart. You become a living prayer for God.

These beads have no special powers, nor do beads demand “favors” from God. The beads and their use ought to be blind to the user, in that the focus is God in Presence. In other words, commune with the God who graciously shares His Only Begotten Son, Jesus, in divinity and humanity, so that we can know in the deepest recesses of our souls a love and relationship beyond natural understanding. Yes, this relationship is indeed super-natural, based in Faith, Hope and Love. This is a prayer in meditation that opens us up to a path of least resistance to grow into a life of contemplation.

Lastly, each cross is handmade, unique, rough, and not polished. The significance of this reflects the intimacy of the cross for each of us, in that Jesus meets each of us where He finds us, in our brokenness, pain and joy. In turn, we grow in the reflection of His continuous love on earth through divine silence, justice, joy, peace, and at times, pain ("Wounds are our glory,”... Julian of Norwich). In the spirit of the following words of Saint Benedict …we must pray to God “with all humility and purity of devotion … not in many words but in purity of heart and in the compunction of tears.” And let us always say “yes” to an ongoing surrender to God’s merciful love.
God bless your love journey through Jesus, in the Holy Spirit; and have it flow over to your families, brothers and sisters, friends and colleagues. |

The Catechism clearly defines prayer as a "vital and personal relationship with the living and true God" (CCC, no. 2558). Prayer is Christian "insofar as it is communion with Christ" (CCC, no. 2565), and a "covenant relationship between God and man in Christ" (CCC, no. 2564).

The man who fears to be alone will never be anything but lonely, no matter how much he may surround himself with people. But the man who learns, in solitude and recollection, to be at peace with his own loneliness, and to prefer its reality to the illusion of merely natural companionship, comes to know the invisible companionship of God. Such a one is alone with God in all places, and he alone truly enjoys the companionship of other men, because he loves them in God in Whom their presence is not tiresome, and because of Whom his own love for them can never know satiety.”
― Thomas Merton, No Man Is an Island

In No Greater Love, Mother Teresa wrote: “Jesus taught us how to pray, and He also told us to learn from Him to be meek and humble of heart. Neither of these can we do unless we know what silence is. Both humility and prayer grow from an ear, mind, and tongue that have lived in silence with God, for in the silence of the heart God speaks.” |

"Seeking the face of God in everything, everyone, all the time, and his hand in every happening; This is what it means to be contemplative in the heart of the world. Seeing and adoring the presence of Jesus, especially in the lowly appearance of bread, and in the distressing disguise of the poor.”

- Most Jesus Prayer beads and crosses are wood. Crosses will be rough, nothing exotic, just simplicity. Wood could be Pine, Black Walnut, Driftwood, Cherry, Cedar, Poplar, etc. On the rare occasion a cross is not wood, the item will be highlighted as such on another page of this site, and will be a singular made item.
- If a set of beads gets broken, reach me through the site's Contact page.
- DO NOT wet beads.
- This apostolate is a FREE service to those interested.
- This is not a business, nor a non-profit. Just a humble hobby, offered with sincere humility.
