How to Pray the Rosary




"In the Name of the Father, and of Son, and of the Holy Spirit..."

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 concieved by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilot, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into to hell. The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended into Heaven, sits 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 towards us;
and after this exile, show 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.
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 You, that by meditating upon these mysteries
in the most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
we may imitate what they contain, and obtain what they promise, through Christ our Lord. Amen."

"In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Amen."
