3 Tips for Choosing a Rosary that is Right for You
There are a few things to consider when shopping for a rosary. How it is made and how it looks and feels make the difference in how much you will use it and how well it will last.
1
Find One that Inspires You to Pray
Rosaries should suit us so that we want to pray with them. When a rosary is unique and fits our personality and prayer style, it can help motivate us to pray.
2
Look for a Good Fit
I remember one of my rosaries that didn’t leave enough room for my fingers to fit in between the beads. They would sometimes slip out of place while I was trying to pray. Rosaries should be so comfortable that we forget they are in our hands while we are deep in prayer.
3
Choose a Reliable Rosary
The function of a rosary is to keep track of the prayers. They should be sturdy enough to stand the test of time. Before I learned to make them, I remember the disappointment of broken rosaries. I used to try to repair them with tweezers. When a rosary is well-made, it frees our mind and heart to pray more deeply.
