Listen to A Caribbean Rosary-The Luminous Mysteries, the complete Luminous Mysteries, sung from start to finish. The entire Rosary has been set to music: The Apostle's Creed, Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, Fatima Prayer & Hail Holy Queen are all part of a rhythmic experience that will hopefully help you to meditate and pray these mysteries with a song in your heart.
A Caribbean Rosary was written by one of the members of Color and was recorded in Barbados. We hope that this will help you to pray the rosary more often, and to share with your family, especially with your children.
Please drop us a note at [email protected] if you would like to provide us with any feedback. We would love to hear from you.

Praying the Rosary
The Sign of the Cross:
In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Apostle’s Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth;
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary.
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into Hell;
On the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into Heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father almighty;
from there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.
Amen.
Pray the following: 1 Our Father, 3 Hail Marys (Faith, Hope and Charity), 1 Glory Be
Our Father
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.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
Blessed art thou among 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.
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.

Concluding Prayers
After the completion of five mysteries (5 decades), the Hail Holy Queen (or Salve Regina may be sung)
Hail Holy Queen
Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
To thee do we send up our sighs mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us,
and after this our exile
show us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
(Verse) Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
(Response) That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Rosary Prayer
Let us pray,
O God, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection,
has purchased for us the rewards of eternal salvation.
Grant, we beseech Thee, that while meditating on these mysteries
of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
that we may both imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise,
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
