Praying the Rosary is a tactile aid to focus on prayer. Our minds naturally tend to wander, and it can help to have something we can hold onto physically – sometimes, just the touch of an item dedicated to prayer can remind us of the peace of God and put us in a prayerful frame of mind.
There are many forms of prayers to use with the Anglican Rosary; the prayers on this page are drawn from the prayers of Ash Wednesday and Lent.

First Time - In the Name of God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Final Time - Accept our repentance, Lord, for the wrongs we have done: for our blindness to human need and suffering, and our indifference to injustice and cruelty; for all false judgments, for uncharitable thoughts toward our neighbors, and for our prejudice and contempt toward those who differ from us; for our waste and pollution of your creation, and our lack of concern for those who come after us. Restore us, good Lord, and let your anger depart from us. Accomplish in us the work of your salvation. (BCP 268)
First Time - We confess to you, Lord, all our past unfaithfulness: the pride, hypocrisy, and impatience of our lives; our self-indulgent appetites and ways, and our exploitation of other people; our anger at our own frustration, and our envy of those more fortunate than ourselves; Our intemperate love of worldly goods and comforts, and our dishonesty in daily life and work; our negligence in prayer and worship, and our failure to commend the faith that is in us. (BCP 268)
Final time - The Lord's Prayer

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. (Psalm 51:11)
