Manner of Reciting the Rosary
The method of reciting the Rosary practiced by the Dominicans is as follows:
In the name of the Father, etc.
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.
V. Thou, O Lord, wilt open my lips.
R. And my tongue shall announce Thy praise.
V. Incline unto my aid, O God.
R. O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father, etc., Alleluia.
(From Septuagesima to Easter, instead of Alleluia, say Praise by to Thee, O Lord, King of eternal glory.)
Then announce either "the first part of the holy Rosary, the five joyful mysteries," or "the second part of the holy Rosary, the five sorrowful mysteries," or "the third part of the holy Rosary, the five glorious mysteries." Then the first mystery, "The Annunciation," etc., and Our Father once, Hail Mary ten times, Glory be to the Father once; in the meantime, meditating on the mystery. After reciting five decades, the Hail, Holy Queen is said, followed by
V. Queen of the most holy Rosary, pray for us.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
