The Anglican Rosary And The Lectionary: The Revised Common Lectionary Year A

Scripture can-and should-be studied. We should "read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest" it. Scripture can-and should-be read during worship. Scripture should be the fertile soil from which a sermon or homily springs forth.And, scripture can-and should-also be prayed. Large portions of the scriptures themselves are indeed prayers. The Book of Psalms is a massive collection of prayers. Our ancient forebears often prayed with scripture.A few decades ago, Anglican Christians took the traditional rosary and put a new spin on it creating the "Anglican Rosary." The Anglican Rosary offers a unique opportunity to pray with scripture-specifically the scriptures of the Sunday lectionary. Because the Anglican Rosary is so much newer than its more ancient counterpart, the prayers assigned to the beads are less authoritative, which means that you can mold the Anglican rosary to your own use, day-by-day and week-by-week.In this little book you'll find Anglican rosary prayers for each week of Year A, using the readings from the Revised Common Lectionary and selections from The Book of Common Prayer (US, 1979). Each week's prayers begin with the seasonal Antiphon from Morning Prayer, and they end with the Collect of the Day.This book was born out of a desire to give Christians a way to pray the Sunday scriptures through the week, grafting the Word of God into our hearts and minds.
