The QUEEN of the Rosary

How to say the Rosary

1.     Apostles' Creed

2.     "Our Father....."

3.     Three "Hail Mary's"

4.     Announce First Mystery

5.     "Our Father....."

6.     Ten "Hail Mary's" Meditate on the Mystery announced

7.     "Glory be to the Father....."

8.     Announce Second Mystery and repeat as in 5, 6, 7. Continue in like manner    until the Five Mysteries are said.

9.     Concluding Prayers*

        Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope!  To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears.  Turn, then, 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' pious, O' sweet Virgin Mary!

     V.     Queen of the most Holy Rosary, pray for us:

     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, meditating upon these mysteries of the 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.        

 

*     These prayers are a fitting conclusion, but are not an essential part of the Holy Rosary.
