Do I ask the priest ? Do I ask the head mistress, who is lovely ? do they need to be blessed by the priest ?

ds1 is very keen. wants to go to all the rosary prayers, every morning, last month or so. he was given some beads to use. as i was lookign around some people had lovely ones. maybe wooden ? different colours, in repeat, like 7 one red, one blue, one green, one wooden.

do you like these? You can ask the priest to bless them if you want

ZZZenAgain · 02/08/2010 14:54

it's the prayers that matter, the beads are just to help you keep track of them and where you are.

You could just dip them in the fount too I suppose if you didn't want to ask the priest to bless them

Zen, yes thank you, they are exactly what i need. they look classy, not cheap and nasty. thank you. sahme, becasue i really like the one at the bottom which is currently out of stock.

by the way, i wonder if you could help me. being a non catholic, a pentecostal christian, i don't know the prayers. i don't know what the different parts of the rosary actually means.

could you please point me int he direction of a website, to give me some pointers.
i love going to mass. ds loves it totally. i even went on the introduction course, but they never covered things like this.
so when ds1 asks me about rosary prayers and beads, i can't answer his questions.

How to pray the rosary
The repetition can be very comforting ime

champagne. oh i am sorry, i do know the bit about when to say the 3 hail mary's and when to say the 10 hail marys'. its just i can't work out where my fingers are supposed to be at the appropriate times. or when / why do you move your finger onto the next bead.

The beads are to help you keep count. I tend to move across at the end of each prayer - so with the Amen.

oh thank you. now i get it. Amen to that
