I wrote about the Pearls of Life prayer beads in an earlier post and how I've been praying with them as a place to center in prayer. During my pilgrimage to Iona, the landscape of my travels came to represent those beads of prayer. I share them with you.

The God Pearl
You are boundless. You are near. You are light, and I am yours.
+
The Silence Pearl
In God's silence may I be--quiet, still, craving nothing.
+
The I Pearl
I am a drop in God's sea that reflects the sky.
+
The Baptism Pearl
I am your child, my God, help me grow, help me mature.
+
A Silence Pearl
In God's silence may I be--quiet, still, craving nothing.
+
The Desert Pearl
Cleanse me so I will be clean. Heal me so I will be whole.
+
A Silence Pearl
In God's silence may I be--quiet, still, craving nothing.
+
The Serenity Pearl
Help me really live, not only exist.
+
The Silence Pearl
In God's silence may I be--quiet, still, craving nothing.

The First Love Pearl
Open me now to the strength of love I long for.
+
The Second Love Pearl
God, help me love.

The Mystery Pearls (there are three of these)
Large or small, I entrust the secrets of my heart to your care.
Large or small, I entrust the secrets of my heart to your care.

The Night Pearl
Be close to me in darkness so that I find the light.

Another Silence Pearl
In God's silence may I be--quiet, still, craving nothing.

The Resurrection Pearl
Every breath me in you you in me.
