6 10 Hail Mary’s

On each of the ten beads that follow (the first decade), pray a Hail Mary while reflecting upon the mystery assigned to this decade (for the Joyful Mysteries,the first decade is a reflection on the Annunciation).

Some people find that looking at a picture depicting each mystery helps them meditate on the mystery. That is where a rosary pamphlet may help as you see this pamphlet provides not only each of the mysteries, but an explanation and an image.

Th e Hail Holy Que e n ( Th e S alv e Re gin a) Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To you we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to you we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us; and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
