St Peter's Pals are delighted to invite families to come and share the Rosary with them on Friday mornings in October from 8.30am in the Prayer room.

The steps to praying the Rosary are:

1. Make the Sign of the Cross and pray the “Apostles’ Creed”
2. Pray the “Our Father”
3. Pray three “Hail Marys” for Faith, Hope, and Charity
4. Pray the “Glory Be”
5. Announce the First Mystery and then pray the “Our Father”
6. Pray ten “Hail Marys” while meditating on the Mystery
7. Pray the “Glory Be” (Optional: Pray the “O My Jesus” prayer requested by Mary at Fatima)
8. Announce the Next Mystery; then pray the “Our Father” and repeat these steps (6 through 8) as you continue through the remaining Mysteries.
9. Pray the closing prayers: the “Hail Holy Queen” and “Final Prayer”
10. Make the “Sign of the Cross”

Pope Saint John Paul II suggested the recitation of the Rosary as follows: the JOYFUL mysteries 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 Advent and Christmas – the JOYFUL; Sundays of Lent – the SORROWFUL). Here is a chart:

Monday JOYFUL Tuesday SORROWFUL Wednesday GLORIOUS Thursday LUMINOUS Friday SORROWFUL Saturday JOYFUL Sundays of Advent and Christmas JOYFUL Sundays of Lent SORROWFUL Other Sundays GLORIOUS
