  • The Sorrowful Mysteries are traditionally prayed on Tuesdays and Fridays. They are also prayed throughout Lent.

One decade

  1. Announce the mystery.
  2. One Our Father on the large bead at the start of the decade. 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.
  3. Ten Hail Marys — one per small bead in the decade. Meditate on the mystery as you pray. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
  4. One 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.
  5. The Fatima Prayer (“O My Jesus”) — from the apparitions at Fatima in 1917. O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of Thy mercy.

Repeat for the Second through Fifth Mystery — each decade following the same Our Father → ten Hail Marys → Glory Be → O My Jesus pattern.
