The Cross is a reminder of the lengths to which God is willing to go to bring you into the embrace of God’s light and love. It reminds you to take up your cross and follow God in a life of Holiness.

One of life’s great mysteries is the power of prayer. Used as a vehicle to enter into conversation with God and to create a personal intimacy with God, it is said to be life-altering, life-giving. The healing power of prayer reaches across science to a place of calm and peace in the human heart and spirit.
As you explore this site, you will find a short history of the tradition of prayer beads, ways to use them, some suggested prayers, and an invitation to join our ministry. Some people who have begun to use prayer beads have also shared their experiences with us. We would be pleased to add your experiences.
