3. then on the first bead say the “Our Father who art in heaven, etc…;
4. then “Hail Mary full of grace, etc…” on each of the next three beads.
5. On the fifth bead recite the doxology: “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.”
6. Continuing around the circle of beads pray the five decades, each decade beginning with one Our Father, then ten Hail Marys, and finally the “Glory Be to the Father”.
The complete Rosary consists of Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries.
This is a very simple rosary. The “beads” are appropriately grouped knots tied along the length of a single cord. The crucifix and medallion are of plastic. The rosary seen here has been blessed by a priest. …..481

“The Rosary is my favorite prayer. A marvelous prayer! Marvelous in its simplicity and its depth…Against the background of the words “Hail Mary” the principal events of the life of Jesus Christ pass before the eyes of the soul…At the same time our heart can embrace in the decades of the Rosary all the events that make up the lives of individuals, families, nations, the Church, and all mankind: our personal concerns and those of our neighbor, especially those who are closest to us, who are dearest to us. Thus the simple prayer of the Rosary marks the rhythm of human life.” --Pope St. John Paul II October 29, 1978
“Rosary” is the name of a set of prayer beads and the name of a devotional prayer that originated in the twelfth century, particularly among the Cistercian and Carthusian monks, whose lay brothers did not participate in the Liturgy of the Hours and had in the Rosary their own form of prayer (the “Marian Psalter” ). Later the Rosary was promoted by other religious orders, especially by the Dominicans. The Popes have recommended this prayer again and again, and for many people it is a beloved devotion.
