On FetLife quite awhile back now, a slave posted her version of a rosary with her Master as the focus. As with any rosary or prayer beads, it is used in mediation and presents a spirituality in service that can be adopted and adapted to fit your relationship.
I’ve always had a curiosity with religious artifacts and items used by the believers. I’ve even made and had blessed a set of rosary beads for a friend of mine. They were very special for me to make, and I will most likely do it again for someone new.
The following is a rosary, set up in the same format as the Catholic Rosary to be said during times of mediation for a slave. You can change the prayers any way you’d like or reorganize them. I would love to know if you have your own submissive Rosary and could share that in the comments!

How to say the Catholic Rosary
[/note]
For those not familiar, a typical Rosary consists of an emblem, three beads leading up to a medallion, and then five sets each of ten beads separated by a single bead.
The Order of Prayers
written by Syr_David’s ~melly
Begin at the emblem (1) then the single bead (2) then the three beads (3) then (4) and then the single bead (5) skip the medallion and start on the decades (set of ten beads) (6) after each of those, say (7) and then on the single bead, (8) . Repeat for each decade. At the end, (the medallion) you can say the slaves prayer again, or whatever mantra you wish to end with.
- I say a portion of my oath of fealty here. You can repeat the “Slave’s Prayer“, or whatever is pertinent to you (original was the Apostle’s Creed).
- Say the “Master, owner of my body“.
- Say three “I am your slave“.
- Say the “In gratitude“.
- Announce (or think) the principle of your service that you will be concentrating on, and say the “Owner of my body“.
- Say ten “I am your slave” while considering and concentrating on the principle or idea you have.
- Say the “In gratitude“.
- Say the principle you are meditating on, and say the “Master, owner of my body“.
The Prayers
Slave’s Prayer – adapted from A Submissive’s Prayer
Allow me the Serenity to serve Him in peace
Allow me the Love to show Him myself
Allow me the Tenderness to comfort Him
Allow me the Light to show us the way
Allow me the Wisdom to be an asset to Him
Let me be able to show Him each day my love of service to Him
Let me open myself up to completely belong to Him
Let me accept my punishments with grace
Let me learn to please Him beyond myself
Grant me the power to give myself to Him completely
Give me the strength to please us both
Permit me to love myself in loving Him
Master, owner of my body and director of my will, you are with me. I am thankful that I serve you. Let me be transparent as glass, that my heart may be visible always, for my entire self, even unto the workings of my mind, are yours. Master, I honor you with my service and submit to you with my thoughts, words, and deeds, so that I may be a reflection of your will, and the manifestation of your desires.
Master, I am your slave and your property. I will work and I will sacrifice that I may reflect your intentions, and make of myself a window to the soul you own. Use me Master, as you see fit, that I may learn to serve and to submit to you in all things.
In gratitude I serve, and in thankfulness I submit, and in peace I honor my Master with my trust.

My name is lunaKM and I’m a full-time submissive in a D/s relationship. I am webslut to 
Thank you so much for sharing this. It is wonderful:) You made my day.
luna,
i’m still honored that you chose the rosary i wrote for Master and my relationship. i also wanted to note that i myself have changed some of the words a few times since the inception of this ritual. i mostly use it alone, though sometimes, when Master is busy, i will sit at His feet and recite it quietly, to connect with Him even when He is not actively doing something with me.
i sincerely hope that anyone who reads or uses it can take something away that is viable for their own dynamic.
Master’s ~melly,
Syr David’s slave
Thank you for sharing it with us! I’m happy to have it here for others to use, adapt and grow within their submission.

Thank you for sharing this. I made a set of Mala beads for myself, and could easily adapt the things you’ve shared here to my meditation with the Mala.
Peace

Tapestry’s recent blog post..Everything is fine, accept and relax.
I was moved by this and I too and grateful for the post Sir. Thank you!

I’m glad you like it and I’m sure melly appreciates it too… but *chuckles* I’m not a Sir.
I made a set of these for me and also one for my submissive sister that shares my Dom/hubby with me. I have to say this was probably one of the best centering tools I have come across. I love it thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for this i have many beads and this is something i will be making to stay focused and concentrated on my Sir although i will substitute Master with Sir *grins* we are apart right now and it has been very hard for me to stay focused and get thru this trying time.
I really love this idea. Has anyone found any that are for a submissive, not a slave? I’m having trouble being creative enough to modify it myself but I’ll keep thinking on it. I would just like to see others’ ideas :)
I’ve seen a few examples on FetLife (where I also found this one) but since FetLife’s search option doesn’t crawl discussions I’m not able to find them again. Several people I know have used different inspirational poems they found online that touch their submission more closely. All of them I have read are beautiful.
What a beautiful idea. I am currently converting to Catholicism and it’s things like the Rosary that drew me to that faith. Thank you so much for sharing this.
