After the Rosary:
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. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
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 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.
After each decade say the following prayer requested by the Blessed
Virgin Mary at Fatima: "O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from
the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have
most need of your mercy."
As suggested by the Pope John Paul II the Joyful mysteries are said on
Monday and Saturday, the Luminous on Thursday, the Sorrowful on
Tuesday and Friday, and the Glorious on Wednesday and Sunday (with
this exception: Sundays of Christmas season - The Joyful; Sundays of
Lent - Sorrowful)

The Prayers:
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.
Our Father
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.
Hail Mary
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.
Glory be to the Father
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.
