I’ve been interested in buying a prayer rope but the more I think about it can’t I just say 50 jesus prayers instead of the Hail Mary? I still read the mysteries and say the Hail Marys 3 times but just switch it up so I say 50 Jesus prayers? Is this okay to do? Thanks
 
I’m kind of surprised this isn’t a common prayer. A lot of people pray with prayer ropes why not put two and two together.
 
My formerly catholic now orthodox friend uses his rosary for the Jesus prayer,
 
That’s a good idea. I decided to do that and throw in some Hail Marys as well.
 
A Rosary is used for the Jesus Prayer by many people, Eastern Orthodox and some Catholics.

A Rosary or Prayer Rope doesn’t matter, they’re only tools for keeping your place in your prayer, nothing more.

Just remember that when you pray, whether its the Rosary or the Jesus Prayer, you are praying in the presence of God, dwelling within you. He’s not out in the cosmos somewhere, but dwelling within the depths of your being in the present moment. This is where you want to be.

That’s good to know. When I’m out in public I just wanted to have something to carry around and pray with. So I’m glad to know Catholics use the Jesus prayer.
 
I have through this forum. There’s also a book called the Jesus Rosary. I have a difficult time reading bc my meds make it hard to focus which is another reason I’ve been praying more instead of studying.
