How do you pray the Holy Rosary?

[TerrorDæmonum]

The Holy Rosary, by itself, is rarely said alone as far as I can tell, and most methods have additions to it in some manner.

How do you say it?

[Bernadette]

I meditate on each mystery before saying the prayers. I add the Fatima prayer to the end of the decades and the Hail Holy Queen at the end.

[Aulef]

I pray as Saint Louis Mary of Montfort suggested in the 'True Devotion to Mary', however I add a quick prayer followed by a Salve Regina and the Litany of Our Lady, all between the last mystery and the final prayer proposed by him.

That is how I do it too. I was reading a Dominican website on they pray it and was inspired to ask here.

I am making a new Rosary booklet for myself and once I print it, that is how I will pray it.

I've adopted the Dominican way of doing it.

The Dominican method does look good.

I haven't printed yet, so maybe I will consider this. It will be Latin-English.

The Dominicans I discerned with didn't have a special way of saying the rosary.

I pray it the way Bernadette prays it.
After the Rosary I always pray the Memorare just because I love it so much. Then I like to add, "Hail Mary most pure, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee" three times, along with 3 Hail Marys in Latin, followed by St. Michael Prayer and Guardian Angel prayer. Not that any of that makes me a more pious person or anything, but it just helps my prayer life.

I love the Memorare. Something about it makes this 50 year old fart turn into a doting little child who needs his Mom.

I skimmed the thread and thought you were referring to the method in which SAINT Bernadette prayed it, and was confused...

I pray each decade while meditating on the mystery attached to it. Some Rosary booklets have a short scripture passage, written meditation, or "fruit of the mystery," and I find all of these helpful at times.

I'm curious if anyone here has prayed a scriptural Rosary before, where there is a specific verse or part of a verse to think about during the Our Father and each Hail Mary of the decade.

I had a booklet of my own that had the scripture passages for each mystery. I only used it for specific meditation on the mysteries in isolation, rather than while praying the Rosary at the same time.

Historically, I tended to be only able to pray the Rosary like Bernadette, the saint (simply and focused on the individual prayers one at a time).

I do. I say a scripture verse every 3 Hail Marys, and then on the last left over one (10th). Why 3? Idk, it just took to look saying it after every Hail Mary. I'm not good at meditation at all, so saying the verses really helps me bring it to mind. It has honestly helped me really meditate on scripture and it's meaning. I've noticed so many things I didn't before, realized things I didn't.

Bernadette may be saint, she just hasn't been canonized....yet.
