Prayers of the Rosary
Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit. Amen.
Apostle 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 into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and is seated 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.
Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy
kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 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 Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed
art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our
death. Amen.
Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Spirit. As it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
Fatima
Prayer O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the
fires of hell and lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of Thy
mercy.
Hail Holy Queen
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of mercy! Hail, our life, our
sweetness and our hope! To you do
we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to you do we send up our sighs, mourning
and weeping in this valley of tears! Turn
then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us; and after this, our
exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
Pray for us, Holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray. O
God, whose only-begotten Son, by his Life, Death and Resurrection, has purchased
for us the rewards of eternal life, grant we beseech you, that we who meditate
on these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, may both
imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ
our Lord. Amen.
