Summarize the following:
Remember to move to the left of the icon on your rosary. When you touch the first bead say, “For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.” Repeat this process for each of the 10 small beads of the first decade. As you touch the large bead at the end of the decade, say, “Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, 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.” As you move around the rosary, say “For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world” as you touch each small bead in each decade. Then, say the Lord’s Prayer for each large bead between the decades. Once you’ve said a prayer for each bead around the loop of the rosary, hold the icon image in your right hand and repeat the following words, “Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.” Repeat this phrase 3 times in a row. You can choose to hold the entire rosary in your right hand or just the cross. State the following words, “Eternal God, in whom Mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion — inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.” After you conclude this prayer, you can make the sign of the cross once more if you choose.
Say a prayer for each of the small beads in the first decade of the loop. Recite the Lord’s Prayer for the large bead at the end of the decade. Repeat the process for each decade. Touch the icon and recite the “Trisagion” 3 times. Say the optional closing prayer.
