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 Ghost, 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, 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.
2. On the next large bead, say the 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.
3. On the following three small beads, pray three Hail Marys.
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.
4. On the chain, pray the Glory Be.
Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was, is now, and ever shall be, world
without end. Amen.
5. On the large bead, meditate on the first mystery and pray the Our Father.
You pray mysteries for each of the five sections (decades) of the rosary according to the day of the
week:
1. Mondays and Saturdays:
The Joyful Mysteries remind the faithful of Christ’s birth: The Annunciation (Luke 1:26–38); The
Visitation (Luke 1:39–56); The Nativity (Luke 2:1–21); The Presentation (Luke 2:22–38); The Finding of
the Child Jesus in the Temple (Luke 2:41–52)
2. Tuesdays and Fridays:
The Sorrowful Mysteries recall Jesus’ passion and death: The Agony of Jesus in the Garden (Matthew
26:36–56); The Scourging at the Pillar (Matthew 27:26); The Crowning with Thorns (Matthew 27:27–31);
The Carrying of the Cross (Matthew 27:32); The Crucifixion (Matthew 27:33–56).
3. Wednesdays and Sundays:
The Glorious Mysteries focus on the resurrection of Jesus and the glories of heaven: The Resurrection
(John 20:1–29); The Ascension (Luke 24:36–53); The Descent of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1–41); The
Assumption of Mary, the Mother of God, into heaven; The Coronation of Mary in heaven.
4. Thursdays:
Pope John Paul II added The Mysteries of Light, also known as the Luminous Mysteries, in 2002: The
Baptism in the River Jordan (Matthew 3:13–16); The Wedding Feast at Cana (John 2:1–11); The
Preaching of the coming of the Kingdom of God (Mark 1:14–15); The Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1–8);
The Institution of the Holy Eucharist (Matthew 26).
6. Skip the centerpiece medallion, and on the ten beads after that, pray a Hail Mary on each bead;
on the chain, pray a Glory Be.
Although a decade is 10, these 12 prayers form a decade of the rosary.
Many Catholics add the Fatima Prayer after the Glory Be and before the next Our Father: O My Jesus,
forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most
need of Thy mercy. Amen.
7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 four more times to finish the next four decades.
8. At the end of your Rosary, say the 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.
O God, whose only-begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards
of eternal salvation; grant we beseech Thee, that meditating upon these mysteries of the most holy
Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise.
Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Credo:
“Io credo in Dio, Padre onnipotente, creatore del cielo e della terra e in Gesù Cristo, Suo unico Figlio, nostro Signore,
il quale fu concepito di Spirito Santo, nacque da Maria Vergine,patì sotto Ponzio Pilato, fu crocifisso, morì e fu
sepolto; discese agli inferi; il terzo giorno risuscitò da morte; salì al cielo, siede alla destra di Dio, Padre onnipotente:
di là verrà a giudicare i vivi e i morti. Credo nello Spirito Santo, la santa Chiesa cattolica, la Comunione dei Santi, la
remissione dei peccati, la risurrezione della carne, la vita eterna. Amen.”
Atto di Dolore:
“Mio Dio mi pento e mi dolgo con tutto il cuore dei miei peccati, perché peccando ho meritato i tuoi castighi, e molto
più perché ho offeso te, infinitamente buono e degno di essere amato sopra ogni cosa. Propongo con il tuo santo
aiuto di non offenderti mai più e di fuggire le occasioni prossime di peccato. Signore, misericordia, perdonami.”
3. Le perle
Prendi la prima perla del Rosario e comincia pregando un Padre Nostro. Le tre perle seguenti simboleggiano tre Ave
Maria. Tradizionalmente, si recitano per chiedere che coloro che pregano il Rosario crescano nella Fede, nella
Speranza e nell’Amore, e per le intenzioni del Santo Padre, il Papa. Questo gruppo di preghiere termina con una
Gloria al Padre.
Padre Nostro:
“Padre nostro, che sei nei cieli, sia santificato il tuo nome, venga il tuo regno, sia fatta la tua volontà, come in cielo
così in terra. Dacci oggi il nostro pane quotidiano, e rimetti a noi i nostri debiti come noi li rimettiamo ai nostri
debitori, e non ci indurre in tentazione, ma liberaci dal male. Amen.”
Ave Maria:
“Ave, o Maria, piena di grazia, il Signore è con te. Tu sei benedetta fra le donne e benedetto è il frutto del tuo seno,
Gesù. Santa Maria, Madre di Dio, prega per noi peccatori, adesso e nell’ora della nostra morte. Amen.”
Gloria al Padre:
“Gloria al Padre e al Figlio e allo Spirito Santo. Come era nel principio e ora e sempre, nei secoli dei secoli. Amen.”
