A SPECIAL GIFT FROM THE CHILDREN OF COR

During the early months of 2020, the children of Christ Our Redeemer began work on a special project: recordings of them leading the rosary. They offer those recordings here as a gift to families. These recordings are available below to download for free. Once downloaded, you can use them to pray the rosary anytime, anywhere!

HOW TO PRAY THE ROSARY

Praying the Rosary involves a specific sequence of steps, each represented by one of the elements on the rosary:

1. Make the sign of the cross.
2. Say the Apostle's Creed.
3. Say the Our Father.
4. Say three Hail Marys.
5. Say the Glory Be.
6. Announce the First Mystery.

8. Say 10 Hail Marys. During this, meditate on the current Mystery.
9. Say the Glory Be.
10. Announce the next Mystery.
11. Repeat steps seven to 10 until you have worked through five Mysteries, counting along on the rosary beads as you pray.
12. Say the Hail Holy Queen.
13. Say the Final Prayer.
14. Make the sign of the cross.

Mysteries of the Holy Rosary

There are 20 Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, representing events in the life of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. These Mysteries are divided into four groups, each containing five Mysteries. Which group of Mysteries you reflect on while praying depends on the day of the week:

• Joyful Mysteries: Mondays, Saturdays and Sundays of Advent and Christmas.
• Sorrowful Mysteries: Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays of Lent.
• Glorious Mysteries: Wednesdays and remaining Sundays.
• Luminous Mysteries: Thursdays.
