THE JESUS PRAYER ROSARY
by MICHAEL CLEARY SVD Canterbury Press Bible meditations for praying with beads. - The Jesus Prayer Rosary will be welcomed by the growing number of people who are discovering that rhythmic prayer with beads is a spiritually enriching and therapeutic experience. It will further enrich the spirituality of the many Christians who have found meditative repetition of the ancient Jesus Prayer to be a valuable devotional aid. This unique book brings together these two popular approaches to prayer and worship. Michael Cleary is parish priest of the Church of St-Mary-on-the-Quay, Bristol (UK). to purchase, go to Amazon: |

'Ten years ago I discovered the world wide web and
you (Rosary Workshop) and the guild!!! What a wonderful group of
prayer warriors you all are. I thank the Lord Jesus for you and your
world wide prayer ministry often. The blessings our Lady have extended
to 1,000 s of people because of the prayer beads you have sent out all
over the world. May your blessings from our Lord and Lady out weigh
your burdens.' Happy Birthday. Fr Joe (PA)

Thanks Father Joe, you were our very first customer
and our first boost of encouragement! Our very first customer!
How did you find us? We knew nothing about subscribing to search
engines! We were barley up! Still building! Had no idea that our
brand new website URL was like having an unlisted phone number that no
one knew about. And now we know this little mystery was born from above.
As we look back on these years, we are very grateful and truly blessed
by your continuing encouragement and friendship as well as the greatest
customers and friends in the world who have followed you over the years.

"Let us show gratitude by
which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe
- for our God is a consuming fire"
... HE IS WORTHY ...
We are is re-dedicating efforts to - not just
making prayer beads - but to keep alive the tradition of the early paternoster
guilds of Europe beginning in this For centuries, these dedicated
artisans took great care in making the most beautiful of prayer beads possible.
Our vision is to craft a sacramental that will not only last for generations
but will bring visual glory to God every day.

Pray the new mysteries. Pray for peace. Pray the online now. Battles are won by praying the rosary. It is the most powerful prayer/weapon available. No beads Use your fingers!
... suspending the laws of nature
through prayer ...
We have never seen such power released through natural
disasters and terrorism as we have seen during the presidency of
George Bush. No leader of our nation has ever had so much on his shoulders.
(We thank the Lord that our president turns to the Lord for guidance.)
When his brother Florida Governor Jeb Bush, first heard of the Asian tsunami,
he "began to pray the Mysteries." It's a lesson for us all. At the apparition
site of Medjugorje the Blessed Mother said that "with prayer and fasting
you can stop wars and even suspend the laws of nature."
+
We must not forget that what is said above is totally
true, especially after hearing about the pastor who commanded the tsunami
wave to stop 'in the name of Jesus' - and it did - saving a boatload
of orphans from certain death. Pray for our President, pray for the earth
and those of the earth and the weather to be at peace. And we thank
you Lord for a president who turns to you, may our government hear your
voice and follow it in their work.
“While I am in
the world, I am the light of the world” (Jn 9:5)
