Dominican Method of Praying the Holy Rosary.

To pray the Rosary, it is necessary that one meditates on each mystery as the prayers are recited.

V. Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee;

R. Blessed art Thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus.

Sign of the Cross on lips saying:

V. + O Lord, open my lips;
R. And my mouth will proclaim Your praise.

Regular Sign of the Cross.

V. + O God, come to my assistance.
R. O Lord, make haste to help me.

Concluding Prayers:

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 unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

V. Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us.

R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us Pray:

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.

V. May the Divine Assistance remain always with us.

R. And may the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.

+ May the peace and blessing of Almighty God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit descend upon us and remain with us forever.

Amen.
