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:
If I loose it, no big deal, it only cost a $1.00

Good morning Jesus
thank you for giving me another day in this world with you, my family and my friends
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
offend Thee, my God, Who art all-
good and deserving of all my love. I
firmly resolve, with the help of Thy
grace, to confess my sins, to do
penance, and to amend my life.
Amen.
