Do you use the Dominican style opening

V: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee
R: Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus

V: O Lord, open my lips
R: And my tongue shall declare Your praise

V: O God, come to my assistance
R: Lord, make haste to help me

V: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit
R: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Or the more common Creed, 3 Hail Marys, Gloria beginning?

Same here. I do have an opening intent prayer before the Apostles Creed. And after the Glory Be To The Father I pray the Fatima Prayer.

*Prayer Before The Rosary

Queen of the Holy Rosary, Thou didst deign to come to Fatima to reveal to the three shepherd children the treasures of grace hidden in the Rosary. Inspire my heart with a sincere love of this devotion, in order that by meditating on the Mysteries of our Redemption which are recalled in it, I may be enriched by its fruits and obtain peace for the world, the conversion of sinners and of Russia, and the graces which I ask of Thee in this Rosary. (Here mention your request.) I ask this for the greater glory of God, for Thine own honor, and for the good of souls, especially for my own. Amen.*
 
i never knew there was another way to start the Rosary i always just used standard i guess
 
I pray the Brigittine Rosary. So I just go straight into the first mystery; I remove the “Glory Be” and “O My Jesus”, and replace it with the Apostles Creed; I add a sixth mystery; and I say the Hail, Holy Queen, Our Father, three Hail Mary’s, and Glory Be at the end.

I suppose it depends who taught us which method to use.

I have sometimes started off the rosary if I am praying it with others,“O Lord,open my lips ----(reply)—.and my tongue shalt praise Thy Name.”

I personally use the standard opening version with The Sign of the Cross. In the Name of The Father and of The Son and of The Holy Ghost.Amen.

But after the “glory be” I pray for the Holy Father (The Pope) with this pray.

“May the Lord preserve him and give him life;make him blest upon the earth and deliver him not up the will of his enemies.Amen.”

I guess the essentials are the Apostolic Creed and praying the appropriate prayers with each bead.Our Lady of Fatima in 1917 taught us to pray after each decade of the rosary (Mystery) “Oh my Jesus,forgive us our sins,save us from the powers of hell and lead all souls to heaven;especially those most in need of Thy Mercy.”

A lot of “trimmings” at the beginning and the end of the Rosary just depends on ones’ individual piety and the method that was taught.Certainly The Dominican order were the ones who popularized the rosary in the form that we know it.

Blessed Pope John Paul 11 told us that the Rosary was his favorite means of prayer and it was he that introduced into the Church The Luminious Mysteries.

To that I add “Oh Mary concieved without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee”, and after each decade.

I use both and love both! What I try to do is at least say the creed once a day. So like I would say 5 decades with the opening being Creed,Our Father, 3 hail marys, then if I say other ones in the day like the other 10 decades will use the Domincan way. Some days though I used the Creed and 3 hail marys more than once. Also sometimes I add prayers before the Creed, and to the Our Father, 3 hail marys.
 
I do the traditional plus the Fatima prayer, and occassionally have other add-ons depending on circumstance.
 
Neither. I use the opening prayers used by the Legion Of Mary, of which I am an auxilliary member:yup:
 
I made my own little way of starting the rosary. I make the sign of the cross, then I say ‘‘I offer thee Lord this rosary for _______’’. I tend to offer most of my rosaries for the souls in purgatory.

I do add fatima after each mystery after Glory Be To The Father.
 
I will like to add one detail: i always before beginning to pray the Rosary ask God, Lord Jesus Christ, Our Lady and all the saints to join me in the prayers and pray for family, friends, all people in the world and including current events around the world.

Is this instead of the Creed, etc. and then you go right into the first decade, or do they start with this, and then do the Creed, 3 Hail Marys, etc., and then the first decade? Just curious, I like it! 👍

Actually, I never heard of the Dominican way until this thread. I just do the standard version.

LOL. 🙂

I rarely do it, so I get the order and count mixed up no matter what way it is.
