How you use them?
The beads of the Rosary are used to count the prayers
as you are saying them out loud or in your head.
1. First using the cross on the end of
the Rosary make the sign of the cross.
2. The recite the Apostles Creed.
3. Holding the first big bead above
the cross pray the Our Father.
4. Then with the next 3 small beads
you pray Hail Mary with them. This is for faith hope and charity.
5. Recite the Glory Be with the your finger on
the big bead just before the Rosary divides into two.
6. Depending on what day it is you will focus on one mystery.
Find a website that has information about that particular event.
You then say the first event that took place in the mystery and then a Hail Mary.
One person will lead the first half of the prayer and then everyone will join in with the second.
7. Recite the Glory Be.
8. And finish with the Sign of the Cross.
