An Episcopalian Rosary
Rosary Booklet
Rosary Booklet for Children
This Rosary meditation has been adapted from a life-long practice of the Catholic Rosary together with a commitment to Anglican theology and inclusive language. Grounded in Holy Scripture, this prayer discipline engages the body with the beads, and the mind in the rhythm of the prayers. At the same time, the meditations on the graces, allow the heart and soul to be intentional about opening to the presence and leading of God.
Typically Anglicans pray four groups of seven beads, and Catholics pray five groups of ten beads. This, being a via media adaptation, uses five groups of seven beads - the number seven symbolizing spiritual perfection, completeness, and the work or action of God, as in ancient and Biblical understanding. The Hail Mary is the Catholic version and the Gloria is the Anglican version. The Fatima Prayer (O my Jesus…), the Closing Prayer, the Prayer After the Rosary, and the final two Glorious mysteries have also been adapted to reflect an Anglican perspective.
Scriptural quotes have been taken directly from the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible.
