The
Rosary
The Rosary is a devotion
dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, the Mother of God. (C.C.C. 971) The rosary
consists of fifteen decades. Each decade focuses upon a particular mystery in
the life of Christ and his Blessed Mother. It is customary to say five decades
at a time, while meditating upon one set of mysteries. The Joyful
Mysteries are said on Monday and Saturday;
the Sorrowful Mysteries
are said on Tuesday and Friday;
the Glorious Mysteries
are said on Wednesday and Sunday;
and the Luminous Mysteries
are said on Thursdays.
How to Pray
the Rosary 1. Make the Sign
of the Cross and say the "Apostles
Creed." 2. Say the "Our
Father." 3. Say three "Hail
Marys." 4. Say the "Glory
Be." 5. Announce the First
Mystery; then say the "Our
Father." 6. Say ten "Hail
Marys", while meditating on the Mystery. 7. Say the "Glory

Repeat 6 and 7 and continue with the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Mysteries in the
same manner. 9. Say the "Hail

holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ." 10. Say the "Prayer
to St. Michael the Archangel." 11. End by making the Sign
of the Cross.
After the Rosary: HAIL, HOLY QUEEN, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
Let us pray. O GOD, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, grant, we beseech Thee, that meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen. After each decade say the following prayer requested by the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima: "O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most need of your mercy."

In the Name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen I believe in God the Father
Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our
Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered
under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died , and was buried. He descended into
hell; the third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and is
seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.; from thence he shall
come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy
Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen. Our Father who art in
heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it
is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as
we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil. Amen. Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of
thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the
hour of our death. Amen. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Rosary O my Jesus, forgive us our
sins, save us from the fires of hell and lead all souls to heaven, especially
those most in need of the mercy. Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of
mercy, our light, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished
children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this
vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us
and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O
clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. R.
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
