Prayer



I remember going to confession one time and the Priest gave me the penance of saying 50 times, I love you Jesus 

After starting it, I lost count. Then I pulled out my Rosary. I know that each decade has 10 beads, so 5 decades = 50 beads = 50, 
I love you Jesus

This allowed me to concentrate on what I was saying and not on keeping count.


Today I use the Rosary to help me say many Prayers. Below are some of my prayers I use the Rosary for. 


I use this type of Rosary because:


It's very light in my pocket 
White is a sign of purity
If I loose it, no big deal, it only cost a $1.00
After the lights go out for bed I can still see it because It glows in the dark






Jesus saved me
Jesus died for my sins and saved my soul, I accept his, Love, Mercy and Forgiveness 

my Lord, my God, my Savior, my King, my Friend



Open our Hearts to his Love
Jesus remove our barriers that prevent us from receiving your love

Jesus, I love you, please grant me an attitude of gratitude and joy, thank you

Act of Contrition


O My God, I am heartily sorry

for having offended Thee, and I

detest all my sins, because I dread

the loss of heaven and the pains of

hell. but most of all because they

firmly resolve, with the help of Thy

grace, to confess my sins, to do

penance, and to amend my life.
