It is my intention to sow seeds of light, of peace, of love. For my intentions to reflect, i recite the beautiful prayer of St. Francis of Assisi,
“Lord, let me be an instrument of your peace;
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy...IP: Logged |

Mala, or japa beads, or japa mala beads (seems like everyone has a different way of referring to them) have 108 beads and are used very similarly from what I understand in the way that a rosary is used. They are designed so that the practitioner repeats 100 mantras and the 8 additional beads are to make up for potential mistakes made. One starts at the bead to the left of a large bead, called the guru bead, which is not counted, and goes bead by bead counter clockwise, repeating their mantram with each bead either silently or outloud until they get to the end. There are different approaches on how to hold the beads while meditating but all generally agree that the index (or pointer) finger is not to come in contact with the beads at all for the index finger is associated with the ego.IP: Logged |

ALEX ROMAN WROTE: There is little that I find more exciting than rosaries and prayer-beads. I have one from Asia that has 108 beads and also has two strings with ten beads each that one uses to count the number of hundreds. I use to repeat the Jesus Prayer and carry it with me everywhere, since you never know when you can steal some moments of time and do something really meaningful like pray.
My next door neighbour is Arab Orthodox and he has a Muslim set of 33 prayer beads. He insists the Muslims got it from the Christians. When I was in Hawaii, I visited a Buddhist temple and met with their bishop-leader. A very nice man, I told him about how the story of the Buddha got into the Christian calendar by accident and how, until recently, November 27 contained the name of "St. Joasaph of India" who was actually the Buddha! He wrote all that down for his next sermon and then gave me their rosary which consists of two circles of beads that are interconnected with one another. Apparently, you hold down one bead on one rosary while you go around the other rosary. And so one may keep count of up to over 35,000 prayers!
The Eastern Church (of which I am a member) uses woollen rosaries with 33, 50, 100, 150 and 300 knots made in a similar way to your knotted rosaries. I have one and I also have a leather rosary from Russia which is made up of 109 leather steps that you "climb" with your thumb as you go around saying the Jesus Prayer. It is divided into: 12 steps for the 12 Apostles, 17 steps for the 17 prophets (including John the Baptist) 33 steps for the years Our Lord lived on earth and 38 for the weeks and days Our Lord was in the Virgin Mary's womb. There are nine larger steps signifying the choirs of angels and four triangular sides at the bottom representing the evangelists. Quite a nice thing! REALLY? IS iT that nice??IP: Logged |

The Celts' rosary was of 150 knots or beads since they recited the Psalter every day. Thus, the Western Rosary was used solely as a substitute for the Psalter which it reflected in nature. The Eastern "chotki" or "vervitsa" was for a different purpose altogether. The use of a form of the Roman Catholic Rosary was in vogue among Eastern Orthodox bishops, including meditation on the mysteries. Such forms of prayer are to be found among the devotions of representatives of the Kyivan Baroque spiritual period in the eighteenth century, including St. Dimitry Tuptalo who translated the "Lives of Saints" into contemporary language and who even adopted western prayer forms in honour of the "Joys and Sorrows of Our Lady" and the practice of reciting a "Hail Mary" at the beginning of each and every hour of the day.For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball.
Well, I love Baseball Analogies....

Bull Durham Collections.Ooops Corrections!Corrected entry: In the opening narration, Annie Savoy states, "...there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball." While it's true that a baseball has 108 stitches, there are only 59 beads in a Catholic rosary. Correction: The original Catholic Rosary did contain 108 beads, it was "streamlined" down to 59. A rosary contained 10 decades of 10 "Hail Marys" (100 beads) and 8 "Our Fathers" for 8 beads which equals 108. IP: Logged |

Says Annie Savoy: I believe in the Church of Baseball. I've tried all the major religions, and most of the minor ones. I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I heard that, I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology. You see, there's no guilt in baseball, and it's never boring... which makes it like sex. There's never been a ballplayer slept with me who didn't have the best year of his career. Making love is like hitting a baseball: you just gotta relax and concentrate. Besides, I'd never sleep with a player hitting under .250... not unless he had a lot of RBIs and was a great glove man up the middle. You see, there's a certain amount of life wisdom I give these boys. I can expand their minds. Sometimes when I've got a ballplayer alone, I'll just read Emily Dickinson or Walt Whitman to him, and the guys are so sweet, they always stay and listen. 'Course, a guy'll listen to anything if he thinks it's foreplay. I make them feel confident, and they make me feel safe, and pretty. 'Course, what I give them lasts a lifetime; what they give me lasts 142 games. Sometimes it seems like a bad trade. But bad trades are part of baseball - now who can forget Frank Robinson for Milt Pappas, for God's sake? It's a long season and you gotta trust it. I've tried 'em all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the Church of Baseball.I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK. IP: Logged |

She goes on to bat a series of counter questions at ME:
People ask me, "Why do you love baseball so much?"Have you ever truly watched a game? Have you ever seen a batter raise the barrel of the bat slightly higher to get the bunt down correctly? Have you ever seen a manager or coach give the signs? Have you ever seen the true fans on the edge of their seats on a do-or-die play? Have you seen the intense stare from the pitcher right before throwing the batter a nasty curveball? Have you ever seen the players getting hyped up in the dugout, yelling and jumping around? Dancing even? Have you ever seen the pick-off attempt? Have you ever seen the perfect diving catch by the outfielder? Have you ever seen the pitcher's home run? A batter's clutch hit? Have you ever seen the ninth inning comeback? Last strike comeback even? Have you ever seen the post-season habits and traditions of players? Players in high socks? Have you ever seen a player steal a base? A player going from first to third on a bunt? A perfectly executed pick-off? Have you ever seen Adam Wainwright's curveball or Trevor Rosenthal's 100 mile per hour fastball? Have you ever seen the closer scream into his/her glove after an intense save? Have you ever seen a no-hitter? A perfect game? Have you ever truly watched the game?" "That's when you can ask me why I love baseball so much." My answer to her is Quite Simple.
Have you ever seen the pure joy on a little boys face when he makes contact with the ball? Have you ever seen a player get walked to first but steal second before the pitcher/catcher knows what happened? Have you ever seen the body blow at the plate in an attempt to be safe?

MY S0N, He is a Mediator. And his last words were "I go to seek a Great Perhaps." That's why I'm going. So I don't have to wait until I die to start seeking a Great Perhaps.”  I Believe, A child who feels listened to is less likely to try to have the last word. People cant agree enough without Logical Criticism to what he has to say  IP: Logged |
