Pray the Holy Rosary

"PRAY, HOPE, AND DON'T WORRY. WORRY IS USELESS. GOD IS MERCIFUL AND WILL HEAR YOUR PRAYER."

-PADRE PIO

There's always time for prayer and a finger rosary in your pocket or purse is the perfect catalyst.

'Simple Starts: What would happen if: on Sunday you prayed these prayers, the "Apostles Creed", the "Our Father...", 3 "Hail Marys..." and a "Glory be..." Then prayed one decade each day of the week, Monday through Friday, (Our Father..., 10 Hail Marys...", "Glory be...", and "Oh my Jesus...") while meditating on one of the mysteries. Then on Saturday pray the "Hail Holy Queen..." You would have then prayed one rosary in a week and sanctified the week day by day. Why not try it!'

-Fr. Rob

A decade a day: Using your finger rosary.

  • Begin on the Crucifix:

    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.

  • On each bead:

    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

  • The Glory Be (The Doxology)

    Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

  • Fatima Prayer

    O My Jesus,   forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell; lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy.

    Amen.

The complete Holy Rosary

Begin with the Apostles' Creed

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.

On the crucifix

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

Three Hail Mary's

As a technique: Use the three upper points of the cross and pray one Hail Mary on each

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.

The Glory Be (The Doxology)

Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Fatima Prayer

O MY JESUS, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell; lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy. Amen.

Announce and begin to meditate on the mystery for the decade

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

On each of the ten beads pray the Hail Mary

Announce the next mystery

Begin to meditate on this mystery as you pray the Our Father and subsequent 10 Hail Mary's. Continue this sequence for all 5 mysteries.

After completing the five mysteries

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 vale 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. Amen.

O God, Whose only-begotten Son by His life, death and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life; grant, we beseech Thee, that by 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.

In The Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
