How to Pray The Holy Rosary
First, let’s step back and take a look at the Rosary itself, which will help with an understanding of the types of prayers and locations of these prayers on the rosary. The rosary itself is composed of 60 beads threaded together with a crucifix, and often a pendant of Mother Mary where the 3 strands meet. The Rosary is divided into 6 sections. The 1st section is composed of the introductory prayers, followed by what is called the 5 decades.
First Section of the Rosary
+ The Sign of the Cross
+ 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; On 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 there He will 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.
+The Lord's Prayer (Our Father)
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 (x3)
Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are 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.
(note: 1st Hail Mary is for Faith, 2nd is for Hope, 3rd is for Charity)
+ Glory Be
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.
Next, you will acknowledge the mystery and fruit of the 1st mystery (you will do this for each decade, on the Our Father bead).
Note: All mysteries of the Rosary (based on the assigned day of the week) follow the same pattern. As a reminder, the mysteries are: Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, Glorious. See chart at the bottom for reference)
First Decade
Announcement of the 1st Mystery, and Our Father (per above)
+ Our Father
+ Hail Mary (say 10 times, once per bead, while meditating on the mystery)
+ Glory Be (once)
+ Optional: Say the “O My Jesus” prayer requested by Mary at Fatima
Remaining Four Decades
+ Announce the Next Mystery; then say the “Our Father” and repeat the decade steps above, as you continue through the remaining Mysteries.
Closing Prayers
+ Hail Holy Queen
+ Final Prayers (Here at RosaryMinded, we also like to say the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel and the Memorare as well).
