The Rosary is divided into three parts, each having five mysteries. While
meditating on the Mysteries, recite for each Mystery:
1 "Our Father"
10 "Hail Mary's" and
1 "Glory Be"
After the completion of the five mysteries (five decades), the "Hail Holy
Queen" is said:
Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy, 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 then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of
mercy toward us, and after this our exile show us the blessed fruit of thy womb,
Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that we, to whom the

Christ Our Lord.

Act of Faith
O my God, I firmly believe that Thou art one God, in three Divine Persons, the
Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost; I believe that Thy Divine Son became man and
died for our sins and that He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe
these and all the truths which the holy Catholic Church teaches, because Thou hast
revealed them, who canst neither deceive nor be deceived.
Act of Hope
O My God, relying on Thy infinite goodness and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of
my sins, the help of Thy grace and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ,
my Lord and Redeemer.
Act of Love
O my God, I love Thee above all things with my whole heart and soul, because Thou
art all good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbour as myself for love of Thee. I
forgive all who have injured me, and I ask pardon for all whom I have injured.
