A Rosary
Here is a rosary I put together from bits of several others I found, no praying to saints or to Mary to be found here. I think it's all very orthodox theology as well:
1. Kiss the crucifix, while holding the crucifix say:
In the name of the father, + and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
2. Still Holding the crucifix say the Apostle's Creed:
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
3. On the first bead say the Our Father:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come, thy Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
4. On the next three beads say the Angus Dei:
a. Oh Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world
have mercy upon us.
b. Oh Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world
have mercy upon us,
c. Oh Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world
grant us Thy Peace.
5. On the chain, meditate on the first mystery and say the Trisagion:
Holy God,
Holy Mighty One,
Holy Immortal One,
Have mercy upon me.
6. On the next bead, continue to meditate on the mystery and say the Our Father.
7. On the next ten beads continue to meditate on the mystery and say the Jesus Prayer:
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Repeat steps 5 - 7 for each mystery.
To conclude holding the crucifix say:
I bow before the Father who made me,
I bow before the Son who saved me,
I bow before the Spirit who guides me,
In love and adoration.
I praise the name of the One on high.
I bow before the Sacred Three,
The ever One, the Holy Trinity.
In the name of the father, + and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Kiss the crucifix.
