The Luminous Mysteries
Video coming soon. Follow below to continue.
The First Decade (What is a Decade?)
-
At the Our Father bead right before the first decade, hold the bead in your hand and say "The Luminous Mystery: The Baptism in the Jordan."
The First Luminous Mystery: The Baptism in the Jordan
(see Mt 3:13-16)
-
Meditate on this mystery. (How do I meditate on a mystery?)
-
Still holding this bead, say the Our Father.
Our Father Prayer
Our Father, who are (art) in heaven,
hallowed be your (thy) name.
Your (Thy) Kingdom come.
Your (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.
-
Slide your fingers to the first bead of the first decade (following the Our Father bead). With your fingers on this bead, say the Hail Mary.
Hail Mary
Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with you (thee).
Blessed are you (thou) among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your (thy) womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
-
Repeat this step for the next nine beads of the first decade.
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you (thee). Blessed are you (thou) among women, and blessed is the fruit of your (thy) womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

-
When you reach the space before the next Our Father bead (It could be a section of chain, rope or beads.), hold this section and say the Glory Be.
Glory Be
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.
-
And then say the Fatima Prayer
Fatima Prayer
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell.
Lead all souls to heaven, especially those in need of your mercy.
