Anglican Rosary: Angelus

[AngCath]

Here is how I adapted the Angelus into use on my Anglican Rosary.

Cross: In the name of the Father...

Invitatory (opening): 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.

Week (small) beads: Hail, Mary...

Cruciform (large) beads:
1st Cruciform: The angel of the Lord announced unto Mary, and she conceived by the Holy Ghost.

2nd Cruciform: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.

3rd Cruciform: And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.

4th Cruciform: Pray for us O holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Invitatory (closing): We beseech thee O Lord to pour thy grace into our hearts, that as we have known the incarnation of your Son Jesus Christ by the message of an angel, so by His cross and passion we may be brought to the glory of His resurrection. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Cross: I will bless the Lord, thanks be to God.

I didn't realize that Anglicans used rosaries.

Are they like the RCC, or Prayer Ropes like the EO's?

My parish is the base for some sort of Roman Catholic and Anglican Rosary society. People come here regularly to pray the rosary. I am a big fan of the Daily Office, but I have friends that swear the Rosary has been as big a help to them as the Mass. I have not found that when I prayed the rosary, but I have only done it twice.

What is said for the Rosary? Is it the "Hail mary full of grace the lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus." ??

This is where I got information about Anglican Prayer Beads (rosary) and some prayers that you can use:

I pray both, I use the Marian (Catholic) rosary one time and my Anglican one the next. The site quoted above is an excellent resource

I never realised Anglicans used beads (no-one at my church does), but I am intrigued to say the least :)
That is a really helpful link :D

Thanks for the links, I never knew about Anglican Prayer Beads, either. I was so inspired that I made my own
