How to Pray the Rosary

The basic structure of the Holy Rosary is as follows: 1. Make the Sign of the Cross. 2. Holding the Crucifix, say the Apostles' Creed. 3. On the first bead, say an Our Father. 4. Say three Hail Marys on the next three beads (for faith, hope, and charity). 5. Say the Glory Be. 6. For each of the five decades, announce the Mystery, then say the Our Father. 7. While meditating on the mystery, say ten Hail Marys (one on each bead of the decade). 8. Say the Glory Be and the Fatima Prayer (O My Jesus). 9. Conclude the Rosary by saying the Hail Holy Queen (Salve Regina) and the Rosary Concluding Prayer (O God, whose only begotten Son...). 10. End by praying for the Pope's Intentions (1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary, 1 Glory Be).
