How To Pray The Rosary

How to pray the Rosary
The Apostle's 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 arose again from
the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sited 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 the life
everlasting. Amen.
Our Father
Our Father, Who art in heaven, holy be your name; your kingdom come;
your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily
bread; and forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sins against us; do
not bring us to the test, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among
women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of
God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.
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.
Fatima Prayer (Optional)

O my Jesus, forgive us of our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. And bring
all souls into heaven, especially those who need most of you divine mercy.

Hail Holy Queen
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail our life, our sweetness and our
hope. To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to you do we send
up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most
gracious Advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,

That never was it known
That anyone who fled to your protection,
Implored your help
Or sought your intercession,
Was left unaided.

To you we come, before you we stand, sinful and sorrowful;
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
Despise not our petitions,
But in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
