HOW TO RECITE THE HOLY ROSARY

Free your mind to help you meditate.
Begin with the Sign of the Cross

L Come Holy Spirit fill the hearts of the faithful, R. And enkindle in them the fire of thy love.
L. Send forth thy Spirit and they shall be recreated, R. And thou shalt renew the face of the earth
ALL: Let us pray: O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful,
grant that in the same spirit we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in his consolation, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
L: Thou O Lord shall open my lips, R: And my tongue shall proclaim thy praise
L; Incline unto my aid O God, R: O Lord make haste to help me
L; Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, R: As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen
The Creed
L: 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 Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, who was crucified; died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day, He arose again, He ascended into Heaven, and is sited at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
R: I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
Our Father
L: Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
R: 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. Amen.
Hail Mary
L: Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
R: Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

R as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
