The Legion of Mary is a lay Catholic organization that encourages its members to engage in spiritual practices such as prayer and devotion. One of the prayers that members of the Legion of Mary pray is the Rosary. Here’s how to pray the Rosary:
- Make the Sign of the Cross and say the Apostles’ Creed.
- Say the Our Father on the first large bead.
- Say a Hail Mary on each of the three small beads.
- Say the Glory Be to the Father.
- Announce the first mystery and say the Our Father.
- Say a Hail Mary on each of the ten small beads.
- Say the Glory Be to the Father.
- Announce the second mystery and say the Our Father.
- Repeat steps 6-8 for the remaining three mysteries.
- Say the Hail, Holy Queen.
- End with the Sign of the Cross.
The Mysteries of the Rosary are divided into four sets: Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Luminous. Members of the Legion of Mary usually pray the Rosary together as a group, and the prayers are led by a designated member.
