HOW TO PRAY THE ROSARY

here to visit our How
to Pray the Rosary information page.
The Rosary is divided into five groups of ten beads called decades. One Hail Mary is prayed on each bead for a total of ten per decade. During these prayers, we meditate on different aspects of Our Lord's life and Passion, which are called Mysteries.
The Beginning: Begin by touching the crucifix. Make the Sign of the Cross and pray The Apostles Creed. On the first bead pray the Our Father. On each of the next three beads pray the Hail Mary. On the chain following the Hail Marys pray the Glory Be and announce the First Mystery. On the next bead pray the Our Father.
The Mysteries: Pray ten consecutive Hail Marys while meditating on the life of Christ recalled for each mystery. After the tenth Hail Mary recite the Glory Be, the Fatima Prayer, and announce the next Mystery. Repeat for each of the five mysteries.
The Ending: On the centerpiece recite the Glory Be, the Fatima Prayer, the Hail Holy Queen, and the prayer O God Whose... Finish the rosary with the Sign of the Cross.
