 The Rosary
Structure
The Rosary begins by blessing oneself
with the cross and saying the Apostles
Creed. On the first bead, the Our Father is
said and on the next three beads, three Hail Marys,
followed by the Glory be to the Father.
Then follow four groups of five mysteries, each with its own event for
meditation. Each mystery, or decade begins with the
Our Father, followed by ten Hail Marys,
concluding with the Glory be to the Father. It
ends with the Hail Holy Queen and this
concluding prayer:
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 meditating upon 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
