So I know the Dominicans pray a form of the Holy Rosary that is closer to the Divine Office.
3op.org/rosary.php Anybody have anymore info? Anybody use this form? A translation in Latin would also be helpful.
Thank you for your time!

I know many Dominican priests and I really love their work and the Dominican Rite. I’m not familiar with how they say the Rosary as I live too far from their Rosary Center in Portland, OR.

I’m kind of fond of the 15 decade Traditional Rosary. So thats what I say every day.
 
Friends, this is a difficult subject as it is hard to find proper information online. From what I’ve gathered at several lay-Dominican and Dominican-interest websites, the old Dominican Form of the Rosary is generally this (by my own hand):

Sanctissimi Rosarii Beatae Virginis, secundum Ordinis Praedicatorum
  • SIGNUM
  1. Áve, María → Jésus
  1. Dómine, labia mea aperies + * et os meum adnuntiabit laudem tuam.
  1. Deus, in adjutórium meum inténde; * Dómine, ad adjuvándum me festína.
  1. Glória Patri → Amen. * (Outside Lent): Alleluia * (In Lent): Laus tibi, Dómine, Rex ætérnæ glóriæ.

Announce the mystery: … then begin the Pater, and Aves.​

Per eúndem Chrístum Dóminum nóstrum. * Amen.
  1. Divinum + auxilium maneat semper nobiscum. * Amen.
  1. Animae omnium fidelium defunctorum per misericordiam Dei requiescant in pace. * Amen.
  1. Benedictio Dei omnipotentis: Pátris, et Fílii, et Spíritus Sáncti, descendat super nos et maneat semper. * Amen.
  • SIGNUM
I tend to say the Sign of the Cross while holding the Crucifix, the Ave->Jesus on the first solitary bead, the “Domine, labia…” on the first of the three Ave beads, the “Deus/Domine” on the second of the three Ave beds, and the “Gloria Patri” on the third of the three Ave beads. On the last solitary bead before the first Pater bead, I say the “Alleluia”.

Hi Glorius Order,

Very good! It sure does sound somewhat like the Breviary. I use the 1963 Breviary and the beginning of the Rosary sounds like it.
