How to Pray the Rosary

Begin by making the Sign of the Cross, then pray the Apostles Creed, followed by one Our Father, three Hail Marys, and the Glory Be. Call to mind the first Mystery (event in the life of Christ or Mary) for the day, then pray one Our Father, ten Hail Marys, then one Glory Be and the Fatima Prayer, all while meditating on the Mystery. In the same manner, pray while meditating on the second, third, fourth, and fifth Mysteries. Conclude with the Hail Holy Queen and this prayer: 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 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.
