Prayers šŸ™ in the Morning, in the Evening, at Supper time šŸŽ¶

šŸŽ¶Ā  Prayers in the Morning, Prayers in the Evening, Prayers at Supper timeĀ šŸŽ¶

Ok, while these arenā€™t the words to the McGuire Sisters song, Sugartime, itā€™s what came to mindĀ while I was writing this post.Ā  (I digress.)

Iā€™m constantly learning more about the rosary. And it amazes me each time I uncover another devotion to Mary, that I didnā€™t know about before. Ā One I learned about earlier this year was the three Hail Marys devotion.

If youā€™re not familiar, the Three Hail Marys is a traditional practice reciting three Hail Marys as a petition for purity and other virtues. Many who pray this devotional recommend it be prayed twice a day ā€“ before bed and upon waking ā€“ kneeling while praying.

(Thereā€™s more history to this devotional, but Iā€™d get really off point if I went through all that, so Iā€™ll leave it to you research, if interested.)

And like many prayers, thereā€™s a longer version and an adaptation. While I appreciate the beauty, history and kneeling while praying that is part of the longer version, the adaptation is more my style since I donā€™t have to get out a piece of paper, my phone app, or prayer book to remember how to pray. Plus, since I wasnā€™t raised kneeling while praying at home, when Iā€™m not at church, it feels awkward for me to do so. So when I pray, I sit reverently instead, either in a chair or cross-legged on the ground.

This is the adaptation I like, which is now common practice for many Catholics:

  • Ask Mary to intercede for you with her divine Son about a specific problem or petition and
  • Say Three Hail Marys as an offering

Three Hail Marys Purse Pendant Knots of Grace

Because the Three Hail Marys is such an easy prayer, I wondered why I hadnā€™t prayed it before. So, earlier this year, I made a new product, the Three Hail Marys Purse Pendant, to help pray this devotion. Not only does it remind you & help you pray, but itā€™s also pretty. The prayer beads are made of natural stone and are attached to a golden disc that resembles a shiny a host (Communion bread). And who doesnā€™t like something thatā€™s pretty, functional, and helps you connect with Jesus?

Choose from either blue dumorterite or white river rock and start make praying the Three Hail Marys a new daily practice in your life.

Sending you grace today & always,
