Hi, guys —

  • Is it okay to pray the Rosary without Rosary beads or does Mother Mary prefer us to use Rosary beads?

I use a Scripture Rosary book and each prayer is numbered.

Thank you and God bless you.

Hi Natalie,

Sure! I've had a few times when I don’t have a Rosary too. (I call it a Rosary-less Rosary) I just use my fingers. The important part of the Rosary is meditating on the 20 mysteries (or five, if you are practicing a daily Rosary.)

A Scripture Rosary book is an excellent way to keep your focus on the mysteries.

That said, if you can find a Rosary in your home, parish, or rectory, that would be the best because it will help you keep count.

I hope this helps,

Mike
