The Power of the Rosary
The Rosary is a powerful prayer that can help you connect with God in a profound way. It is a way to meditate on the mysteries of Christ’s life and to seek his mercy and guidance. When prayed with devotion, the Rosary can bring peace and healing to your life and the lives of those around you.
How to Pray the Rosary
The Rosary is made up of four sets of prayers: the Apostles’ Creed, the Our Father, the Hail Mary, and the Glory Be. Each set of prayers is called a decade, and there are five decades in a full Rosary.
Begin by holding the crucifix and making the Sign of the Cross. Then recite the Apostles’ Creed, followed by the Our Father. On each of the next three beads, pray a Hail Mary for an increase in faith, hope, and love.
After this, announce the first mystery and then pray the Our Father. On the next bead, pray a Hail Mary for each of the ten beads in that decade. After the final Hail Mary of the decade, pray the Glory Be and the Fatima Prayer.
Repeat these steps for each of the five decades, meditating on the mysteries of Christ’s life as you go. Once you have completed the final decade, finish the Rosary by praying the Hail Holy Queen and the Sign of the Cross.
