The Path of a Life of Contemplation (walking with/in God) is found by being open to letting God find you in Jesus the Christ. 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.
For, although you have no need of our praise, yet our thanksgiving is itself your gift, since our praises add nothing to your greatness but profit us for salvation 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. Suggestion: Pray and read your way through the below

Jesus said . . .
"I am the way, and the truth, and the life . . ." John 14:6 The spiritual dynamic of the above Jesus Prayer is not in the repetitive nature of the practice, as it is not in any prayer communion. The Dynamic is letting God guide you into the depths (or as some may say ,,, "the weeds") of the word's inspired meanings, anointed by God, in which the Holy Spirit will move you "deep unto deep" in an intimacy with Himself ~ God. Blessings always!

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 this is practiced (since the 4th Century) 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.

~ 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; which of course is fine because asking is encouraged by God); you are praying in communion (common-union) with God - Relationship. Although the suggested words or phrases below are repeated with each bead, the expectation of the Holy Spirit (God) having infused within you the grace of the mysteries of the Divine Kingdom: Faith, Hope and Charity (see CCC 1812 and 1813), will plant seed and the seed grows into spiritual fruit in this lifetime. 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.

"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

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).

These beads have no special powers in and of rhemselves, 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 relationship within and beyond natural understanding. Yes, this relationship is indeed super-natural, based in Faith, Hope and Love (as God IS and shares Himself) This is a prayer in meditation that opens us up to a path of least resistance to grow into a life lived out in the "real world" in contemplation.

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.”

Lastly, each cross is handmade, unique, (some) rough, not polished, cut from various kinds of wood and wood scraps. The significance of this reflects the uniqueness and 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 a Marian “YES” to an ongoing surrender to God’s merciful love. God bless your love journey in Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit; and have it flow over to your families, brothers and sisters, friends and colleagues.

"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.” ― Mother Teresa, In the Heart of the World: Thoughts, Stories and Prayers

For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy."

(#VBS1) Multi-material prayer bead set. Vintage Olive Wood, Mother of Pearl & Ebony Crucifix from Jerusalem From the Holy Land and dating to possible the mid 1950's, here's a crucifix of olive wood with inlaid black ebony sections and mother of pearl inlay. The cross with the crucified Christ is very well made and has mother of pearl discs at the back that feature black noted letters which indicate made in Jerusalem. It is thought the discs represent the 14 Stations of the Cross as there are 14 discs in all. The stretched length of the prayer bead set from top bead to bottom of cross is 3' 3". The cross was handed down to me by my parents whom are both deceased. They would been 106 and 107 this coming year. The beads were a gift from my brother Richard who received them from a lady in Maryland. The beads are 18mm x 15mm beads and the count is 100. The 10 decades are separated by metal 5mm beads. From cross top to cross bottom measures a vertical beam length of 5-1/2" and a horizontal beam length is 3". Condition is very nice for its age. Inlay is all present. The two bottom rays of glory are absent. The aforementioned description is the closest I can come to what is being offered here in this set. Any misrepresentation of the cross itself is absolutely an honest error based on my amateur internet research. Due to the nature of this set of Jesus Prayer Beads, I would suggest a very thoughtful donation ($150+?) be considered if requested. As always, all donations go toward p(r)aying it forward for more supplies to make more sets.

#VBS2) Multi-material prayer bead set. Vintage Olive Wood, Mother of Pearl & Ebony Crucifix from Jerusalem From the Holy Land and dating to possible the mid 1950's, here's a crucifix of olive wood with inlaid black ebony sections and mother of pearl inlay. The cross with the crucified Christ is very well made. It does not have the Mothers of Pearl discs which would have represented the 14 Stations of the Cross. However, it does have a mystery of kind on the cross. Enlarge the picture of the cross and you will find "characters" that appear to be hand engraved near most of the circular indentations. I do not know what they indicate. Reaching for an explanation, I suggest it may be related to the Stations of the Cross, but cannot confirm same. The stretched length of the prayer bead set from top bead to bottom of cross is 31". The cross was handed down to me by my parents whom are both deceased. They would been 106 and 107 this coming year. The beads were a gift from my brother Richard who received them from a lady in Maryland. The beads are 10mm beads and the count is 118. Each 10mm bead is separated by a 2mm spacer. From cross top to cross bottom measures a vertical beam length of 4 1/2" and a horizontal beam length is 2 1/3". Condition is very nice for its age. Inlay is all present. All four rays of glory are present at the intersection of the vertical and horizontal beams. The aforementioned description is the closest I can come to what is being offered here in this set. Any misrepresentation of the cross itself is absolutely an honest error based on my amateur internet research. Due to the nature of this set of Jesus Prayer Beads, I would suggest a very thoughtful donation ($100+?) be considered if requested. As always, all donations go toward p(r)aying it forward for more supplies to make more sets.

The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful [avails much]. (Jas 5:16)
Donations are accepted to help me with buying more supplies. Simply your decision if you want to be part of the service to others. All of the donation(s) will be invested into H.E.L.P. in order to keep the blessings going forward.
If you want a set, ask for one regardless of ability to donate. DONATIONS ARE NOT NECESSARY!
If interested in donating, please contact me through order button. Thank you and Blessings!
- Most Jesus Prayer beads and crosses are wood. Crosses will be rough (on the most part), nothing exotic, just simplicity. Wood could be Pine, Black Walnut, Driftwood, Cherry, Cedar, Poplar, etc. .
- If a set of beads gets broken, reach me through the site's Order page.
- DO NOT wet beads. An occasional hand sanitation gel of the set may be a good idea.
- This ministry is a FREE service to those interested. However, exception noted in next bullet.
- Elastic cords do stretch out over time. This can be remediated by tying a knot in the line to shorten same or return to me for a fix and it will be returned. A $5 donation for a fix is suggested for mailing the beads back to you.
- This is not a business, nor a non-profit. Just a humble "pauper's*" hobby, offered with sincere humility.
Blessings . . .
