To pray the Catholic Rosary, you'll need a set of rosary beads. The rosary consists of five decades, each representing a mystery from the life of Jesus. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- **Begin with the Sign of the Cross:**
Start by holding the crucifix and making the Sign of the Cross while saying, "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen."
- **Recite the Apostle's Creed:**
Move to the first bead and say the Apostle's Creed.
- **Say an Our Father:**
On the next bead, recite the Our Father.
- **Pray Three Hail Marys:**
On each of the next three beads, say a Hail Mary for an increase in faith, hope, and charity.
- **Recite the Glory Be:**
Move to the next bead and say the Glory Be.
- **Announce the First Mystery:**
Before each decade, announce the mystery you'll be contemplating (Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, or Luminous).
- **Say the Our Father:**
On the next bead, recite the Our Father.
- **Pray Ten Hail Marys:**
On each of the next ten beads (a decade), say a Hail Mary for the specific mystery.
- **Recite the Glory Be:**
After the tenth Hail Mary, say the Glory Be.
- **Conclude with the Fatima Prayer:**
On the next bead, say the Fatima Prayer: "O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy. Amen."
- **Repeat Steps 6-10 for the Remaining Mysteries:**
Continue these steps for each of the five decades, meditating on a different mystery for each.
- **End with the Hail, Holy Queen:**
After completing all five decades, finish with the Hail, Holy Queen prayer.
- **Conclude with the Sign of the Cross:**
End the Rosary by making the Sign of the Cross again.
Remember, the Rosary is a personal and meditative prayer, so take your time and focus on the mysteries as you go through each decade.
