How To Say The Rosary:
THE PRAYERS 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, 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. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed by 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. 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. 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. 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,
O most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards 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.
