The Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary

In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

 
THE APOSTLE’S 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 Pontius Pilate / was crucified, died and was buried. He descended to the dead / the third day, He rose again. He ascended into heaven / sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence / He shall come 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.

Leader: (said also before each decade / pink beads)
Our Father Who art in heaven / hallowed be Thy name / Thy kingdom come / Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
All: 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, Holy Queen Mother of Mercy. Hail, our life our sweetness and our hope. To Thee do we cry poor banished children of Eve. To Thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn them, O most gracious advocate, Thine eyes of mercy towards us and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

All: 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 the 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.

1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary, and 1 Glory be for the intentions of our Holy Father, the Pope.
