How to Pray the Rosary
How to Pray the Rosary
1. Make the Sign of the Cross and say 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
Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under
the Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was
buried. He descended into hell. The third day
He rose again from the dead. He ascended into
heaven and sits at the right hand of God the
Father Almighty, from there He will come
again to judge the living and the dead. I believe
in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church,
the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of
sins, the resurrection of the body, and life
everlasting. Amen.

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.
