Saying The Rosary
On the beads we pray the 'Hail Mary' in sets of ten called decades. Each decade
is framed by an 'Our Father' and a Doxology (Glory to the Father). While praying
these prayers, we reflect on the mysteries or events in the life of Jesus,
a different mystery for each decade.

THE PRAYERS
HAIL MARY
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.
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. (For the kingdom,
the power, and the glory are Yours, now and for ever.) Amen.
DOXOLOGY
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
APOSTLES' CREED
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. I believe
in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the
Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was
crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day
He rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the
Father. He will come again 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.
