Ruženec

Rosary in Slovak language, text version.

Text prayer of the Holy Rosary, Crown of Divine Mercy, Pompeian Rosary.

The Holy Rosary has three parts with individual secrets:

joyful rosary

painful rosary

festive rosary.

In 2002 John Paul II. established another part of the holy rosary - the rosary of light.

The prayer of the Holy Rosary begins with a blessing and the sign of the cross, the prayer I believe in God, Our Father, 3x Hail Mary with inserted requests for individual mysteries and the prayer Glory to the Father. Then follow the prayers of 5 tithes with individual secrets. Each tithe begins with the prayer of Our Father, 10 times Hail Mary with mystery, Glory to the Father and ends with the prayer of Fatima, O Jesus.

We can end the prayer of the Holy Rosary with the Hail Queen prayer and the sign of the cross.
