Prayers of the Rosary The Our Father The Lord's Prayer 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 Hail, Mary, full of grace! The Lord is with Thee. Blessed art Thou amongst 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 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 Our Lady's Prayer Request from Fatima Oh, my Jesus, forgive us our sins! Save us from the fires of Hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy. Amen. The Apostles Creed 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, 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 Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. Hail, Holy Queen! 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, pray for us O Holy Mother of God; that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen

A great and wonderful sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. (Rev 12:1)

How to Pray the Rosary For centuries, the gift of the Rosary has been treasured by Christians as a means by which we can find strength and faith in Our Lord Jesus in the language and prayers inspired by Holy Scripture. It calls to mind the most important events surrounding the lives of the Savior and His Blessed Mother. These events are divided into three groups -- The Five Joyful Mysteries, The Five Sorrowful Mysteries, and the Five Glorious Mysteries, all of which appear below. Each group has five mysteries, and each mystery has one "decade". A decade consists of one "Our Father," ten "Hail Marys," and one "Glory Be." According to Our Lady's wishes at Fatima, the "Fatima Ejaculation" is now also said at the end of each decade. Begin with the Sign of the Cross, and while holding the Crucifix, say the Apostle's Creed. On the first bead, say one "Our Father". On the next three beads, pray three "Hail Marys". On the next bead, pray one "Glory Be" and the Our Lady's prayer from Fatima. Announce and meditate on the first mystery and what it means, and say one "Our Father" Pray ten "Hail Marys" and one "Glory Be". On the bead between each decade, say Our Lady's Fatima prayer. Announce the second mystery and meditate on its meaning and continue in the same way until each of the five mysteries or decades is said. Traditionally, the last prayer is held while holding the medal in the center, and a "Hail, Holy Queen " is said. Finish with the Sign of the Cross and kiss the Crucifix.
