Pärlor för livet på engelska
När Martin Lönnebo presenterade Frälsarkransen 1995 var det ingen som kunde förutse hur spridd, älskad och använd den skulle bli. Till dess 20-årsjubileum har Johan Dalman, sedan många år en av dem som ber och mediterar med Frälsarkransen, skrivit Pärlor för livet. Nu finns den också i engelsk översättning av Rachel Stenback – Pearls of life!
Var och en av de arton pärlorna i Frälsarkransen har en uppgift: att hjälpa oss att hitta. De påminner oss om kärleken, natten, dopet… och om våra egna hemligheter och ett nytt liv.
>>The beads have no power. They are more like little slips on your refrigerator door, reminders of words and feelings which are inherent in every person. Life does not always grant us time to consider and pray about them.
The focus of the prayer garland is on life, not on the beads themselves.<<
When Martin Lönnebo introduced The Pearls of Life (Frälsarkransen) in 1995, nobody could predict how it would spread over the world, how beloved it would become, how much it would be put to use.
For the 20th anniversary of the prayer garland Johan Dalman, who for many years has used the garland to pray and meditate, has written Pearls of Life.
Each one of the eighteen beads has a task: to help us find a way. They remind us of love, night, baptism… and of our secrets and a new life.
