Instructions on how to pray the basic Dominican rosary can be found here, and the accompanying rosary prayers can be found here.
The Brigittine and Carmelite rosaries are similar to the Dominican rosary however they each have six decades instead of five. The seven Pater beads honor the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the sixty-three Ave Maria beads commemorate the sixty-three years it is believed the Blessed Mother lived on this earth before her Assumption. In addition, the Apostles' Creed is recited at the end of each decade as opposed to the Glory Be.

What about Luminous?
ReplyDeleteAccording to 'The Brigittine Rosary' holy card: "In the six Luminous mysteries the first is Jesus obedient to Mary and Joseph at Nazareth."
DeleteThe Luminous mysteries for the Carmelite rosary begins with Jesus being obedient to His parents while they lived in Nazareth. I'm a secular Carmelite, and know this to be true!
DeleteWe don’t use Luminous Mysteries.
DeleteMany orders have not added them.
I am a third order Carmeite and the nuns have shared their rosary practices w me. I am very close to them. Blessings, linda
For the Luminous Mysteries, I like to insert as the Second, The Temptation of Jesus in the Wilderness, in our family Rosary.
DeleteThis Rosary was created before the luminous mysteries were added by Pope John Paul II
DeleteIt's true that Pope St. John Paul added the Lumious Mysteries, but to add to the story, I read that someone earlier had actually composed them.
DeleteI just read a post from a different site which suggested that the 6th Luminous Mystery for the Brigittine Rosary is the Hidden Life of Mary. It fits logically between the last Joyful Mystery (Finding the Child Jesus in the Temple) and the First Luminous Mystery (The Batpism of the Lord in the River Jordan). I'm not sure if this is viable or not, but it seems to fit. Who would be an appropriate authority on declaring a 6th Luminous Mystery anyways?
ReplyDeletePlease tell me the site from which You received the information that the 6th Luminous Mystery of Brigittine Rosary is the Hidden Life of Mary?
DeleteSee my post above.

ReplyDeleteThe Luminous mysteries were added recently. They're not applicable to this rosary.
ReplyDeleteThe Luminous Mysteries were added after the Dominican Rosary, but they filled a gap, surely the Brigittines/Carmelites have added the Luminous to this rosary?
DeleteThe luminous mysteries for the Carmelite rosary, begins with Jesus being obedient to His parents while they lived in Nazareth.
DeletePrayes The Lord My name is Ravi Sharma I am From India Please Help me I want Standred Frasican Rosary with Larg big Holy cross Please help me 9651378476 my Mobile no please ccccontact me.
ReplyDeleteThe Brigittine and Carmelite rosaries are created in the late 15th century. The Luminous mysteries are only put into place in the 21st century... Big time difference
ReplyDeleteTrue, but the Carmelites are still a religious order today and have moved on with the times. I don't know about the Brigittines, but I do know about the Carmelites because I am one. If you'd like to know the additions they are as follows: The first Luminous mystery of the Carmelite rosary is Jesus being obedient to His parents while they still lived in Nazareth. Hope that helps :)
ReplyDeleteWhere can I obtain a booklet or pamphlet with the Carmelite Rosary and the six decade rosary itself? I've been searching to no avail. Thanks!
DeleteYes, me to,cannot find anywhere.
DeleteHi, I'm looking for the Scriptural version of the 6 decade rosary which includes the luminous mystery as well?
DeleteI don't think that there is a Luminous Mysteries in the Carmelite rosary as the addition was made to the Dominican version through the Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae.
ReplyDeleteDo you announce the mysterys before saying a decade?
ReplyDeleteOn to the Joyful Mysteries: 1st Joyful Mystery: The Immaculate Conception; 2nd Joyful Mystery: Annunciation; etc.
ReplyDeleteNo it does not have the luminous mystery.
ReplyDelete(do not aks a third carmelite member because attimes they will give their opinion.)
ask a priest or nun who belongs to the carmelite.
As for the briggitines rosary ask a briggitine nun.
same church both have a different mission.
rosary is same and similar.
The luminous so called mysteries is nothing whatsoever to do with the Carmelite Rosary. The Carmelite Rosary was inspired by Our Lady. The luminous ones were invented.

ReplyDeleteThe Luminous mysteries is clearly directly from Bible. There is nothing wrong with it to be added to or adopted to any form of select Rosary. Whether is the Carmelite or Franciscan or Brigittine Rosary it is worth adopting and meditating on the mysteries.
ReplyDeleteI think the parts If not all of The Luminous Mysteries are infused in the already exiting Mysteries. The advantage is that it has been made explicit so the angle of meditation is broadened. My point is that the shout be no arguing among Catholics that the the Luminous Mysteries is invented and can or cannot be added to any existing form of the various Rosary form.
I pray the Brigittine rosary. Since the Luminous Mysteries have to do with Jesus being revealed as the Son of God, I've added the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem as the fifth of he six mysteries.
ReplyDeleteI am a Secular Carmelite...Why the Creed, or I believe, instead of the glory be? I am wondering why..i need an explanation..i am currently practicing or praying it, but my mind is questioning..please give me an exp
ReplyDeleteWhy the Creed instead of the Glory be...and,is there a Fatima prayer after the Creed before proceeding to the next mystery..i am a Lay Carmelite
