Begin with the sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
With the Rosary in hand, proceed to pray each prayer on the part of the rosary pictured, and announcing a mystery prior to each Decade.
The Crucifix
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;
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.
The first (Abwoon) bead:
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.
The regular beads
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed are though 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 Five Accent Beads
Our Father
After praying Our Father on one of the accent beads, announce one of the five chapters in the set of Mysteries of the Holy Rosary.
The Mysteries
Ten Regular Beads
The Decade
After praying 10 times the "Hail Mary" on consecutive regular beads, a "Decade" is complete. Close the Decade with the Oh My Jesus Prayer followed by the Doxology:
Oh 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.
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.
Final prayers
SALVE REGINA
HAIL HOLY QUEEN
Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To you we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
to you 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 sweet Virgin Mary.
V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray: 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 while meditating on 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.
End With the Sign of the Cross
In the Name of the Father, the son, and the holy spirit
AMEN.
