Using Sacrifice Beads

[AClaire11]

I got some Sacrifice Beads today that I ordered from gooddeedbeads.com, and I am wondering if you have any opinions/views on what are appropriate sacrifices or good deeds that would merit moving a bead forward.

While I moved a good amount of beads forward today, I only moved a few back and I am wondering if I am being too easy on myself.

Thank you.

St. Therese of Lisieux (The Little Flower) used sacrifice beads… as a child. She tells about them, in her autobiography (“The Story of a Soul”). She pulled a bead along, for all her little sacrifices.

I think any sacrifice you make… is fine, for pulling a bead. And keep in mind… that acquiring the habit of making small sacrifices, can lead to making greater sacrifices. So, don’t ever think… “oh, this or that isn’t good enough”. Our Lord accepts all of our sacrifices (even the small ones) if they are made with love. God bless.

Someone in this area, is making “Sacrament/Sacrifice/Good Deed Beads” and I was very happy to discover them in this Church: they look like a new challenge.

These are children’s beads in the picture, but basically, the ones I found are in a similar pattern and with sturdier threading.



Nice, something to keep with oneself! And I never would have thought to go out and find some myself.

Some of us know certain Saints, but I know so little about St. Therese de Lisieux, though she is a Doctor of the Church.

This is good, I know very little of this.

Yeh, the exact thing occurred to me, about making “small sacrifices”, I was at a religious gathering and did I need the frosty cupcake? No and really, most of us don’t need it either via calories, so this is not being that self-rightous and we can offer it up but we tend to lose sight of such things. Now, on the other hand, the coffee was a necessity!:coffeeread: Still, some people have done all kinds of intense mortifications, horse hair shirts and the like.
