Rosary to Chaplet?

[juun]

This is more a technical question then a how-to-pray question. I am just super curious about this- I want to pray an 18 bead chaplet, but I only have 60 bead rosaries. How would I do this in a uniform matter? By that, I mean not just the first 18 beads. I’m really organized, so doing just the first 18 would be more nerve-racking then just praying. I really can’t afforded to buy and 18-bead either. Is there a way to evenly distribute the bead count?

thanks!

You can make an 18-bead Chaplet yourself. Use beads from an old necklace or buy beads from* Michaels*. * Michaels *sells some string of beads with 99 cents. And if you have a small crucifix from a broken Rosary, you can easily make a Chaplet yourself.

Just an idea.

And if you don’t want to buy beads, you can make knots on a string

Even on a Rosary, all one needs is the 50 Hail Mary beads and the 5 Our Father beads, and those are the only prayers one “must” pray to have prayed the Rosary.

As the least common multiple of of 60 and 18 is 180, by praying the chaplet ten times you should go even with the larger sacramental as well.
