How to Say the Holy Rosary


The Sign of the Cross
Make the Sign of the Cross on yourself with the Crucifix of the Rosary.

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Kiss the feet of the image of Christ on the Crucifix.
Then say the Apostles' Creed on the Crucifix:


The Apostles' Creed 

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified; died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth 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 Ghost, the Holy CATHOLIC Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.

On the first bead above the Crucifix say the OUR FATHER.

On the group of 3 beads say the HAIL MARY once on each bead.

On the chain after the 3rd bead recite the DOXOLOGY (GLORY BE TO THE FATHER...).

Hail Holy Queen

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, and hour 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, O most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O most 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 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 while meditating on these 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.


The Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.


The Sign of the Cross

Make the Sign of the Cross on yourself using the Crucifix:

+ In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Kiss the feet of the image of Christ on the Crucifix on the Rosary and put the Rosary in your pocket or purse or some place where you will see it so that it may serve to remind you to say the Rosary tomorrow.

3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against Hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.

4. It will cause good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant Mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of men [and women] from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire for Eternal Things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.

5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary shall not perish.

6. Whosoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself [herself] to the consideration of its Sacred Mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him [her] in His justice, he [she] shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he [she] be just he [she] shall remain in the Grace of God, and become worthy of Eternal Life.

7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.

8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the Light of God and the plenitude of His Graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the Merits of the Saints in Paradise.

9. I shall deliver from Purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.

10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of Glory in Heaven.

11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by recitation of the Rosary.

12. All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.

13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire Celestial Court during their life and at the hour of death.

14. All who recite the Rosary are my sons [daughters], and brothers [sisters] of my only Son, Jesus Christ.

15. Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.
