HOW TO PRAY THE ROSARY
We begin by making the sign of the cross and praying the Apostles' Creed. Pray the Our Father and three Hail Mary's followed by a Glory Be to the Father.
Announce the mystery for reflection and pray the Our Father. Pray ten Hail Mary's and finish the decade with the Glory Be to the Father. Repeat this process for each decade.
