About Anglican Beads : Use
  • Find a quiet time and place to enter into prayer. You may use prayers from the Bible or create your own personal prayers. There is no incorrect way to pray.
  • Take a few slow, deep breaths until you feel centered and calm.
  • Hold the Cross between your thumb and forefinger and say a simple prayer from your heart.
  • Slide your fingers from the cross to the Invitatory Bead and offer another prayer.
  • Enter the circle of beads by placing your fingers on the first Cruciform Bead and say another prayer.
  • Slowly move around the circle in a counter-clockwise direction, saying a prayer at each bead.
  • Take time, if you wish, to pause and reflect. Go at your own pace. This is your time with God.
  • Finish moving around the circle and back down through the Invitatory Bead to the Cross again.
  • Say your final prayer holding the Cross.
  • Take a few deep breaths and a few moments to reflect, feeling love from God and sending love from your heart to God.
