Immaculate Mary
Immaculate Mary, your praises we sing;
You reign now in splendor with Jesus our King.
R/ Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria. Ave, Ave, Maria.
Predestined for Christ by eternal decree,
God willed you both virgin and mother to be. R/
To you by an angel, the Lord God made known
The grace of the Spirit, the gift of the Son. R/
Most blest of all women, you heard and believed,
Most blest in the fruit of your womb then conceived. R/
The angels rejoiced when you brought forth God’s Son;
Your joy is the joy of all ages to come. R/
Your child is the Savior, all hope lies in him:
He gives us new life and redeems us from sin. R/
In glory for ever now close to your Son,
All ages will praise you for all God has done. R/
How to Pray
the Rosary
There are many different ways of praying the holy rosary. Here is one basic method:
1. While holding the crucifix in your right hand (number 1 in the diagram), bless yourself making the sign of the cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Then kiss the crucifix and recite the Apostles’ Creed (found on page 75).
2. While holding the first bead (number 2 in the diagram), the one next to the crucifix, pray the Lord’s Prayer: Our Father… (found on page 75).
3. Finger the next three beads grouped together (number 3 in the diagram) one by one while praying three Hail Marys (found on page 75). Ask the Lord for an increase of the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity, or offer these three Hail Marys for other intentions.
4. On the little chain or cord separating the three beads from the next single bead (number 4 in the diagram), pray the Doxology: Glory be… (found on page 76).
5. While holding the next, single bead (number 5 in the diagram), name the mysteries that you are going to pray (e.g., Joyful, pp. 5-15, Luminous, pp. 17-27, Sorrowful, pp. 29-39, or Glorious, pp. 41-51) and then announce the first of those mysteries. Read prayerfully the meditation for that mystery. After a brief silent pause, pray the Lord’s Prayer.
6. On the next set of ten beads, called a decade (number 6 in the diagram), pray ten Hail Marys while meditating on the announced mystery.
7. On the little chain or cord (number 7 in the diagram), pray the Doxology. You may then add a little concluding prayer, such as 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 your mercy.
Another suggestion is to pray the concluding prayer provided at the end of the meditation in this rosary booklet.
8. Then simply repeat this same pattern for each of the remaining four decades: announce the mystery, read the meditation, pray the Lord’s Prayer, pray ten Hail Marys, pray the Doxology, and pray the concluding prayer.
9. After finishing the concluding prayer of the fifth decade, while holding the little connecting medallion (number 8 in the diagram), pray the Hail Holy Queen and the prayers that conclude the rosary (found on page 76).
10. Once again holding the crucifix, bless yourself making the sign of the cross. Finish your recitation of the rosary by kissing the crucifix.
For Praying
the Rosary
The Church recommends the following schedule:
During the Sundays of Advent, one might pray the Joyful mysteries instead of the Glorious mysteries, and during the Sundays of Lent the Sorrowful mysteries. Feel free to alter this plan in any way that helps to accommodate your personal circumstances or needs.
Another option is to sing the refrain
