Question:
Answer:
That would be the Dominican rosary. Dominicans do not begin the rosary with the Apostles Creed and the Our Father, three Hail Marys, and the Glory Be for the pope’s intentions. They begin it in the way one prays the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary. They start with the first part of the Hail Mary:
V: Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee.
R: Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
The Dominican Rosary continues with two prayers taken from the Liturgy of the Hours:
V: O Lord, open my lips.
R: And my mouth shall declare Your praise.
V: O God, come to my assistance.
R: O Lord, make haste to help me.
Then the Dominicans recite the doxology (Glory Be). And then an alleluia, except during Lent. They then begin the first decade in the usual manner.
