Thank you for your kind words. When I first encountered this style of prayer, it felt like a light bulb came on for me. It helped me to focus my mind clearly and intensely on the presence of God while meditating on the truth proclaimed in Scripture. Obviously, this practice isn't for everyone, but it clicked for me - and I'm happy to share the simple practices with others

I could have written your comment word for word! I am a Christian too and belong to the conservative Mennonite Church. I was looking for something more structured for my prayer life and last year discovered the online Morning Prayer service from Canterbury Cathedral and have been a member of the “Garden Congregation” ever since. From that, I was led to the Anglican Rosary and made my own rosary. I too, do not feel comfortable praying to Mary, so the Anglican Rosary is perfect for me. I am easily distracted, so a tactile system works very well for me. God bless!

You are not comfortable with a Marian devotion because you need someone to explain to you what is a Marian devotion, preferably a good Catholic apologist.

@@INRIVivatChristusRex I've taken entire semesters on the topic, thank you.

@@LifeOutward So then are you praying the Catholic Rosary 📿 then?

Yes! Absolutely! It has been a powerful tool in my own life in dealing with anxiety too! The simple practice of repeating God's truth again and again helps to center our hearts, and calm our minds. I hope this practice continues to be a strength and comfort to you.

YES, The Rosary/Prayer Beads have indeed proven to be an Excellent Spiritual Tool for the Therapeutic Alleviation of Anxiety! 🙏🏾🙌🏾🌺🌄👏

Glad it was helpful! Blessings to you!

Wonderful! That's the power of the Rosary, the form of the beads/knots create a rhythm for prayer, but the rhythm is flexible enough to accommodate any needs we have during our intercession and devotion. Blessings to you!

Thank you, and God bless you!

You are welcome! I'm glad it was instructive

I'm so glad this was helpful to you. In my own walk, learning these meditative practices has deepened my prayer life. God peace and Blessings to you!

Thanks for pointing that out! I've added links to information and examples I've found helpful.

I cut the end off of the strand, and removed the nylon filament fibers. You'll need to measure out an extra length of cord because the hollow paracord is still much thicker than the nylon cordage I typically use, but you can tie the knots normally once that's done. If you'd like, I can try to put together a short demo video of tying the knots at some point.

Never be afraid of loving Mary too much. You will never love her more than Jesus did.

Give it a shot. Christ isn’t competitive like that. He wants us to love her.

@@jacobprice6948 I love her just like I would love any other human being. I do like the practice of using prayer beads to organize my thoughts as I pray but I really don't see why I should spend time talking to a human being when I can talk to my maker. Tbh I think it's heresy.

@@ReasonAboveEverything We honor Mary, we don’t worship her. Please do your research. Don’t miss out on another way to get closer to Christ.

@@jacobprice6948 I would propably be considered a somekind of charismatic evangelical but I do get the sentiment. It's just that the admiration and attention is something I am not comfortable with. I understand that one could hail someone who has went to heaven and ask for help. I could ask my grandfather to pray for me when I have hard time. If he happens to be listening he surely prays for me as would I do in his place. However if I treat him as I should as alive human being I am not going to repeatedly ask him 54 times to pray for me. That is what I do with God. I knock on the door to show I want to be near in his presence and align my existence with his will and I already appreciate that he knows what I need. After all I don't call my mother and ask her multiple times in a row to pray for me. That is where my discomfort lies. In my eyes I am no longer asking someone to pray for me like I would ask a human. I am at that point asking them to help me like I ask God and that is heresy in my eyes a heresy. I think God would very much appreciate me giving that attention to him rather than spending time talking to one of His children.

It’s just religion. Common sense would tell you if god is omnipresent. Everywhere then he can here everyone’s prayers if there at the same time. Mary is in heaven probably and only one person how is she going to Here everyone’s prayers and answer any if there are billions of people.

@@kellytraveler4748 hello there are you asking me that question or telling me I am not catholic I am a Christian I would never pray to anybody but God that’s what the Bible says to do. praying to Mary is Idolatry and you are right she is just human are you a Christian

I agree with what you said. I'm Christian.

@@kellytraveler4748 amen I really pray that the Catholics just read the Bible and use Common sense with this matter and stop doing everything the Bible says not to do. We don’t need a Priest we have Jesus we don’t need to pray to Mary or saint peter or what ever other saint we don’t need to kiss the popes ring that is just Beyond sinful they are just men it’s so sad. If they just read the Bible and what it says and stop with all these Customs. Well thanks fir the chat brother it’s A shame I txt to try and get this guy on the channel to txt back but nothing I would love nothing else but to lead him to Jesus to get saved.

@@SUBWAYSWITCH my friend she is died where in scripture does it ever say to pray to the died please think about these things y’all are doing if it’s not in the Bible just don’t do it’s Beyond sinful here this verse will help you on who to pray to for all things I Repeat all things ////////“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6-7‬ ‭KJV‬‬ unto God do you see God is all you need God The Father God the son God the Holy spirt all as One God Mary is not in the holy trinity please my friend I pray that you get saved and let Jesus Bring you out of that religion and it’s false preaching read Gods word for what it is. I am will to help you and show you scripture if you like

@spead love, the anglican rosary according to the explanation in this video does not invoke the intercession Mary. Are you sure its this video you are responding to? Or that you always have answers that are prewritten to shot at anything of a Marian resemblance?

@@chisangankole4965 yes I’m sure. Rosary’s are used by catholics who pray to Mary.

It doesn't sound like you took the time to watch the video. In the spirit of Christian charity and as a pastor, let me gently encourage you to pause before commenting and replying until you've taken time to listen, consider, and study. The use of prayer beads in the Christian faith goes back to at least the 6th century - meaning that it has been a central part of Christian devotional practices around the world for more than 1500 years. It is hubris to say that for the last millennia and a half Christians haven't communed with the Holy Spirit. Prayer beads are a devotional tool. Tools can be misused - but "misuse does not negate proper use" as St. Augustine said. Peace & Blessings to you.

@@StAidansNicholasville as a member of the church I appreciate your charity, thank you for all you do however I’m interested on what you think about what Jesus said in his sermon in Matthew 6:7 “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.” The purpose of the beads to the help count the prayers and tell which prayer to say.

@@JESUSLOVESYOU219 'battologesete' doesn't mean "repetition". That is an error. It means 'babbling', 'yammering', or 'long-winded' - you'll notice from the context that Jesus is critiquing public piety versus private devotion. In giving the disciples a prayer to repeat/imitate (see v. 9ff), Jesus is outlining what our prayer ought to look like - that is consistent, concise, and clear.
