My First
Anglican Prayer Beads
The cross
on this set of beads is an item I purchased
at a wonderful antique shop called
Saints and Angels. It is a used item
that was handcrafted. I especially like the
trillium on it, as it reminds me of all the
times I visited the Blue Ridge Mountains and
the Great Smoky Mountains. The number
three is sacred in many faiths.
You can
use this set of beads with so many different
prayers. Here is a prayer that "came to me"
(uh huh, I'll bet it was Brighid, Lady of
Inspiration!) late last night:

Godspell
(for the
Anglican Prayer Beads)
The Cross:
“Prepare ye the way of the Lord”
(4 times)
The
Invitatory:
“When
wilt Thou save the people
O God of Mercy, when?
The people, Lord, the people,
Not thrones and crowns, but men.
Flowers of Thy heart,
O God are they.
Let them not pass like weeds away
Their heritage a sunless day.
God save the people.”
The
Cruciforms:
“O bless the Lord my soul and
all that is within me, bless His
holy name.”
The Weeks:
1. "Day by day
2. Day by day
3. O dear Lord three
things I pray
4. To see Thee more
clearly
5. Love Thee more
dearly
6. Follow Thee more
nearly
7. Day by day."
To
Close:
The
Invitatory:
“Come
sing me sweet rejoicing,
Come sing me love,
We’re not afraid of voicing
All the things we’re dreaming of
Oh high and low, and everywhere we go
We can build a beautiful city
Yes we can, yes we can,
We can build a beautiful city,
Call it out and call it the City of Man.”
The Cross:
“Long live God.”
(4
times)

St. Christopher Chaplet
 |
This
looks much larger in this photo than it is.
It's a little larger than a bracelet. And
that's a normal-sized saint's medal. The
photo shows it strung on waxed cotton cord,
but I restrung it later on Beadalon wire
(more flexibility).
|
Here
is one set of prayers I found online for
this chaplet:
"O
St. Christopher, patron of travelers,
protect me and all those who accompany me
from mishap and accident. Guide me in my
travels whether by land, sea, or air to my
destination with safety. As you carried
Jesus upon your shoulders may I also carry
the burdens of life that I face with the
same determination and inspiration. And may
the beauty of this world that God has
created with the joy of His Grace always be
with me. Amen.
Say three Our Fathers, three Hail Marys, and
Glorias."

Mousie's Blue
Sky Bracelet
The other morning when I was out and it was looking
threateningly stormy, I wished I had my
Blue Sky
Beads with me. Then I thought, "I need a
small, wearable version that can go with me
anywhere." So that afternoon I made this
little Blue Sky Bracelet. The beads are all
glass (I don't have any more semi-precious
stones for the Four Quarters right now); but I figure
if I keep them in the same pouch with the
regular Blue Sky Beads, the energies will
mingle. :-)
