This is a set of prayers I have recently adopted for my Rosary. The form is based on the Angelus prayers.
Cross: In the name of God; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
Invitatory: sub tuum praesidium
We fly to thy patronage, O Holy Mother of God!
Despise not our petitions in our necessities,
but deliver us from all dangers,
O ever glorious and blessed Virgin.
1st Cruciform: The angel of the Lord announced unto Mary, and she conceived by the Holy Spirit (meditation).
Week Beads: Hail Mary...
2nd Cruciform: Behold the Handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word (meditation).
3rd Cruciform: And the Word was made Flesh and dwelt among us (meditation).
4th Cruciform: Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ (meditation).
Final Cruciform: (Final meditation)... OUR Father...
Invitatory: sub tuum praesidium
Cross: I will bless the Lord [let us bless the Lord], Thanks be to God.

I know that some of you, my Anglican brethren, will naturally not like this set because of its marian nature; but I pray that that theological issue not be brought up here as a divisive tool.

I have seen these before for the Anglicans. I think it's pretty cool that not only the Catholics have rosaries.

What I've been told about the Anglican rosary makes me think you can decide what you want for each bead. Is there a standard set of prayers that most people use for each bead like in the Catholic Rosary?
