Is it acceptable to use a rosary ring to pray the Jesus prayer? Perhaps start off on the cross with Apostles’ Creed, then Our Father/Hail Mary/Glory Be, and then Jesus prayer on the ten knobs? 😃

Beads of any sort can be used for rosary praters, chaplets, or Jesus prayers.
No worries.
 
Thanks for bringing this up, Mycosil. I think it’s a good question.

Since we’re on the topic, is there any reason a Roman Catholic couldn’t practice the Jesus Prayer or the Prayer of the Heart?

Out of curiosity, have you ever heard of any Catholics becoming really, really dedicated to that practice?

I never have, but I’d love to discover someone who wrote or spoke about it in a Catholic context.

Oh hey, thanks a million Clare!🙂 That’s exactly the kind of information I was hoping to find. Several years ago I considered tackling The Philokalia just because I was interested in The Jesus Prayer. It seemed like I would have to seriously immerse myself in Orthodox theology and history because that’s such a heavy, complex work, and it would have required a lot of time and study. I was happy reading The Way Of A Pilgrim a couple times, and I wanted to just keep it simple. So that link is a big help to me, because it keeps things in a Catholic framework.

No reason in God’s green Earth. 🙂 I do pray the Jesus prayer. :signofcross:
