How to Pray the Rosary
Note: When the Rosary is said aloud by two or more persons, one person is the leader; he says the first part of each prayer, and everyone else answers by saying the remainder of the prayer (designated below by an asterisk). The O My Jesus and the body of the Hail, Holy Queen are said by all together.
The Apostles' Creed
Our Father
Hail Mary
Glory Be
O My Jesus
Hail, Holy Queen
Mysteries of the Rosary
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
Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,
died, and was buried. He descended intl Hell; the third day He arose again
from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth 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 Ghost, 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 Ghost.
* As it was in the beginning, is now, and
ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
O MY JESUS, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy mercy.
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 graciour 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.
