In English, Spanish (en español), or any other language, the Rosary (el Rosario) is one of the most beautiful and most revered prayers in the Roman Catholic Church. It involves repeating a series of prayers and meditating on a series of sacred Mysteries (misterios), ideally while tracking your progress on a string of Rosary beads. We’ve provided a complete guide to the Rosary, including both English and Spanish texts, so you can benefit from reciting this powerful and beloved prayer.

Part 1 of 7:

Introduction

  1. 1
    Hold the crucifix and make the Sign of the Cross. If you have a string of Rosary beads to use as you pray the Rosary, hold it in your left hand with the crucifix between your fingers. To make the Sign of the Cross (la señal de la cruz), touch your hand to your forehead, sternum, left shoulder, and right shoulder. While doing so, say the following:[1]
    • English: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
    • En español: En el nombre del Padre, y del Hijo, y del Espíritu Santo. Amén.[2]
  2. 2
    Pray the Apostle's Creed (el credo de los Apóstoles). Keep holding the crucifix between your fingers, bow your head slightly, and say the following:[3]
    • English: 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; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; He shall come again 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.
    • En español: Creo en Dios, Padre todopoderoso, Creador del cielo y de la tierra. Creo en Jesucristo, su único Hijo, nuestro Señor, que fue concebido por obra del Espíritu Santo, nació de Santa María Virgen, padeció bajo el poder de Poncio Pilato, fue crucificado, muerto y sepultado. El tercer día resucitó de entre los muertos. Subió a los cielos y está sentado a la derecha de Dios, Padre todopoderoso. Él vendrá a juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos. Creo en el Espíritu Santo, la santa Iglesia católica, la comunión de los santos, el perdón de los pecados, la resurrección de los muertos y la vida eterna. Amén.[4]

    Move up to the first Rosary bead and pray the Our Father. Slide your fingers up from the crucifix to the first large bead on the string, then recite the Our Father (Padre nuestro)—also called the Lord’s Prayer (orador del Señor)—as follows:[5]
    • English: 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.
    • En español: Padre nuestro, que estás en los cielos, santificado sea tu nombre. Venga tu reino, hágase tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo. Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día, y perdona nuestras ofensas, como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden. Y no nos metas en tentación, mas líbranos del mal. Amén.[6]
  4. 4
    Pray a Hail Mary on each of the next three beads. Slide your fingers from one bead to the next with each recitation of the prayer. Pray with the intention of an increase in faith, hope, and love, respectively, as you recite the Hail Mary (Ave María) three times.[7]
    • English: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among 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.
    • En español: Dios te salve María, llena eres de gracia, el Señor es contigo, bendita tú entre las mujeres, y bendito el fruto de tu vientre, Jesús. Santa María, Madre de Dios, ruega por nosotros pecadores, ahora y en la hora de nuestra muerte. Amén.[8]
  5. 5
    Recite the Glory Be (Gloria) before the next large bead. Pinch the string between the previous three smaller beads and the next larger bead. Alternatively, it’s okay to slide your fingers up to the next large bead and keep it there until you complete the Our Father during the First Decade.[9]
    • English: 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.
    • En español: Gloria al Padre, y al Hijo, y al Espíritu Santo. Como era en el principio, ahora y siempre, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.[10]

First Decade

  1. 1
    Announce the First Mystery based on the day of the week. There are four sets of Mysteries—key events from the lives of Jesus and Mary—that are associated with days of the week: Joyful Mysteries (Monday and Saturday); Sorrowful Mysteries (Tuesday and Friday); Glorious Mysteries (Wednesday and Sunday); and Luminous Mysteries (Thursday). Each Mystery has five events associated with it, one for each Decade of the Rosary. Announce the First Mystery for the relevant day, either aloud or silently to yourself.[11]
    • “The First Joyful Mystery: The Annunciation of Gabriel to Mary.” (Luke 1:26-38)
    • “El primer Misterio Gozoso: La Anunciación de Gabriel a María”. (Lucas 1:26-38)
    • “The First Sorrowful Mystery: The Agony of Our Lord in the Garden.” (Matthew 26:36-56)
    • “El Primer Misterio Doloroso: La Agonía de Nuestro Señor en el Huerto”. (Mateo 26:36-56)

    • “El Primer Misterio Luminoso: El Bautismo de Nuestro Señor en el Río Jordán”. (Mateo 3:13-16)
  2. 2
    Pray the Our Father on the large bead before the pendant. Slide your fingers up to this large bead if you’ve had them on the string between the beads, or just remain on the large bead if you were already there.[12]
    • English: 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.
    • En español: Padre nuestro, que estás en los cielos, santificado sea tu nombre. Venga tu reino, hágase tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo. Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día, y perdona nuestras ofensas, como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden. Y no nos metas en tentación, mas líbranos del mal. Amén.[13]
  3. 3
    Pray ten Hail Marys on the ten beads beyond the pendant. Slide your fingers past the pendant and to the first bead above and to the right of it. Say a Hail Mary, slide to the next small bead, repeat, and keep going.[14]
    • English: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among 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.
    • En español: Dios te salve María, llena eres de gracia, el Señor es contigo, bendita tú entre las mujeres, y bendito el fruto de tu vientre, Jesús. Santa María, Madre de Dios, ruega por nosotros pecadores, ahora y en la hora de nuestra muerte. Amén.[15]
  4. 4
    Pray a Glory Be and a Fátima Prayer before the next bead. Slide your fingers onto the gap between the beads, then say the Glory Be. The Fátima Prayer (oración de Fátima) is optional but typically said right after the Glory Be.[16]
    • English: 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.
    • En español: Gloria al Padre, y al Hijo, y al Espíritu Santo. Como era en el principio, ahora y siempre, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.[17]
    • English: O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell; lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy. Amen.
    • En español: Oh Jesús mío, perdona nuestros pecados, líbranos del fuego del Infierno, lleva todas las almas al cielo, especialmente a las más necesitadas de tu misericordia. Amén.

    • English: 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.
    • En español: Padre nuestro, que estás en los cielos, santificado sea tu nombre. Venga tu reino, hágase tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo.

    • English: 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.

Part 7 of 7:

Conclusion

  1. 1
    Pray a Hail Holy Queen while still holding the pendant. Keep your fingers on the pendant for the entire conclusion to the Rosary. Recite one Hail Holy Queen (Salve Santa Reina) as follows:[30]
    • English: Hail Holy Queen, mother of mercy; hail 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 vale of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us. And after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.
    • En español: Dios te salve, Reina y Madre de misericordia, vida, dulzura y esperanza nuestra; Dios te salve. A Ti llamamos los desterrados hijos de Eva; a Ti suspiramos, gimiendo y llorando, en este valle de lágrimas. Es, pues, Señora, abogada nuestra, vuelve a nosotros esos tus ojos misericordiosos; y después de este destierro muéstranos a Jesús, fruto bendito de tu vientre. ¡Oh clementísima, oh piadosa, oh dulce Virgen María!. Ruega por nosotros, Santa Madre de Dios, para que seamos dignos de alcanzar las promesas de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Amén.[31]
  2. 2
    Recite the optional Final Rosary Prayer. While technically optional, the Final Rosary Prayer (rezo final del Rosario) is a very common part of the conclusion. Say the following:[32]
    • English: O God, whose only-begotten Son by His Life, Death and Resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life; grant, we beseech Thee, that by meditating upon these Mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain, and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
    • En español: Oh Dios, cuyo Unigénito Hijo con su vida, muerte y resurrección, ha comprado para nosotros la recompensa de la vida eterna, concédenos, te rogamos, que, al meditar los Misterios del Más Santo Rosario de la Bienaventurada Virgen María, imitemos lo que contienen y obtengamos lo que promete, por el mismo Cristo nuestro Señor. Amén.[33]
  3. 3
    Pray the optional Memorare (Acordaos), if desired. This is a less-used finishing touch that you can recite instead of or in combination with the Final Rosary Prayer.[34]
    • English: Remember, O Most Gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, we fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins, Our Mother. To thee we come, before thee we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer them. Amen.
    • En español: Acuérdate, oh Misericordiosa Virgen María, que jamás se ha oído decir que ninguno que haya acudido a tu protección, implorado tu ayuda, o procurando tu intercesión, haya sido desamparado. Animado por esta confianza, volamos a ti, Virgen de las vírgenes, Madre nuestra. A ti venimos, delante de ti me postro, pecaminoso y doloroso. Oh, Madre del Verbo Encarnado, no desprecies nuestras súplicas, antes bien, en tu misericordia, escucha y responde a ellas. Amén.
  4. 4
    Pray the optional Litany of Loreto if you so choose. The Litany of Loreto (Letanía de Loreto) is a rather lengthy list of prayers in call-and-response format that you can recite along with or instead of the Final Rosary Prayer and/or the Memorare.
  5. 5
    Add prayers for the Pope or deceased loved ones if you wish. You might, for example, keep holding the pendant and add one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be as prayers for physical and spiritual blessings for the Pope (Papa). You can add another set of the same prayers for the intentions of the dead, such as for deceased loved ones or souls in Purgatory (Purgatorio).
  6. 6
    End with the Sign of the Cross. Finish the Rosary in the same way you started it. Touch your forehead, sternum, left shoulder, and right shoulder while saying the following:[35]
    • English: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
    • En español: En el nombre del Padre, y del Hijo, y del Espíritu Santo. Amén.[36]
