The 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 Apostles Creed
(To be said on the Crucifix)
I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth and in
Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord, Who was conceived of 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 arose from the
dead and He ascended into Heaven where He sits 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.
Hail, Holy Queen
(To be said on the Center After
All Five Decades Have Been Said)
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, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us. And after this our exile, show unto us the blessed Fruit of they 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 my 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 the 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.
V. May Your divine assistance remain always with us. Amen.
R. And may the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
The Glory Be to the Father
(To be said while making the sign of the Cross)
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.
O My Jesus
To be said after the Glory Be to the Father following each
decade - 10 Hail Mary's- of the Rosary.)
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy mercy.
The Hail Mary
(say one Hail Mary for 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 Fatima Prayer of Petition
(To be said before the beginning of your Rosary)
Queen of the Holy Rosary you have deigned to come to Fatima to reveal to the three shepherd children the treasurers of grace hidden in the Rosary. Inspire my heart with a sincere love of this devotion, in order that by meditating upon the mysteries contained therein, I may be enriched with its fruit, obtain peace for the world, the conversion of sinners and of Russia, and the favor which I ask of you in this Rosary (here make your petition). I ask this for the greater glory of God, for your own honor, and for the good of all souls especially my own. Amen.
