Rosary
Prayer before the Rosary:

Queen of the Holy Rosary, you have deigned (dane) to come to Fatima (Fat-i-ma) to reveal the three shepherd children the treasures of grace hidden in the Rosary. Inspire my heart with a sincere love of this devotion, in order that by meditating on the Mysteries of our Redemption which are recalled in it, I may be enriched with its fruits and obtain peace for the world, the conversion of sinners and of Russia and the favor which I ask of you in this Rosary. (HERE MENTION YOUR REQUEST.) I ask it for the greater glory of God, for your own honor, and for the good of souls, especially for my own. Amen.

With the Cross in your hand make the sign of the cross and say the Apostles’ 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 sits 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

The First Bead:

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
