1.

Make the Sign of the Cross.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

2.

Recite the Lord’s Prayer.

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.

3.

Recite the Hail Mary.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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.

4.

Recite 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.

6.

On each of the small beads

in each decade, say:

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion,
have mercy on us and on the whole world.

5.

On each of the large beads before each decade, say:

Eternal Father,
I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and

Divinity, of Your Dearly Beloved Son,

Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for

our sins  and those of the whole world.

7.

Say the closing prayers:

Holy God, Holy Mighty One,
Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us
and on the whole world (recite 3 times)

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your Holy Will, which is Love and Mercy itself. Amen.
