Holy Rosary

Make the Sign of the Cross and recite the Angelus:

The Angelus 
V: The Angel of the Lord declared to Mary:
R: And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
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.

V: Behold the handmaid of the Lord
R: Be it done unto me according to Thy word.
Hail Mary…

V: And the Word was made Flesh
R: And dwelt among us.
Hail 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
Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection, through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.

V: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
R: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be world without end. 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; 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


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.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. (3)
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. (3)
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.



Announce the First Mystery; then pray the "Our Father", pray ten "Hail Mary" while meditating on the Mystery and end with the "Glory be to the Father."

At the end of each mystery pray ‘ O My Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those most in need of thy mercy. Amen ’
