This is the rosary, action by action and prayer by prayer.

Hold the Crucifix, cross yourself and say

In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

Then say

I believe in one God, Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord.

By the power of the Holy Spirit He was born of the Virgin May.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended into Hell.

On the third day He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven.

He is seated at the right hand of the Father from which he will 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

Hold the first large bead or Pater bead after the Crucifix and say

Our Father who art in heaven

Hallowed be Thy name

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven

And lead us not into temptation but delivery us from evil.
