I got this rosary and a little booklet that instructs how to pray it. But what do you do after the five decades and Hail Holy Queen? Is that it or are you supposed to work your way back down the “intro”? This is the first time I’ve been alone in prayer life, usually I just follow the crowd, so I didnt really catch how exactly to pray the rosary.
 
Our group used to say…“May the divine assistance always remain with you”…
Response…"…and may the souls of the faithfully departed rest in peace"…Amen
“In the name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit”…Amen

Some people stop there, or you can also go into the Litany of Loreto. Maybe that is what you are thinking of.

There are variations on the rosary, as well.
 
After the intro, pray the five decades as usual. Then, pray a Hail Holy Queen after. Then, you may want to pray a Litany of the Blessed Virgin to end your Rosary. This is only optional though. And no, you don’t have to work you way back down to the intro.
 
I usually end it there, but many people say other prayers. It’s completely customizable.
 
Here’s a Catholic website that helped me learn to pray the Rosary. I hope it can be of help to you. You can also add intentions for your prayer, pray as a group (joining others), or pray individually. 🙂

Thank you for praying the Rosary.

God bless.
 
I like to pray this after the Hail Holy Queen:

O GOD, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, grant, we beseech Thee, that meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.

And then:

1 - Our Father
1 - Hail Mary
1 - Glory Be

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen

I say the above prayer also but not the Our Father and the Hail Mary, Just the Amen and the Glory Be
 
Well, if you want to say the “full” rosary you actually would go around again. The full rosary tells the life of Jesus through Mary.

Just go through the Mysteries:

Joyful
Luminous
Sorrowful
Glorious

It is nice to say a full Rosary once a month and it is a nice way to spend a holy hour. I also say the following prayer after the Hail Holy Queen:

“O GOD, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, grant, we beseech Thee, that meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.”

Sign of the Cross:signofcross:

EWTN has a new program with a beautiful presentation of the Rosary with Mother Angelia leading the prayers. Because Mother Angelica is now bed ridden they have taken clips from the EWTN recording of the St. Michael’s Chaplet (which I also say each day). The new Rosary is filled with beautiful art that makes it easy to keep your focus and meditate on each mystery. This Rosary is broadcast each morning at 11:30 a.m. right before the Daily Mass.

If you intend on saying the entire four mysteries, then you roll over but not to the intro, just slip into the next group of mysteries. Otherwise,after the ‘hail Holy Queen’ say ‘O God whose only begotten Son…’’, you can add the litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and finish with ‘the Memorare’’, and ‘‘we fly to Thy patronage’’. You can also say an extra,‘Our Father,Hail Mary and Glory be’’ for the Pope’s intention.

As other posters said,its basically customize-able.

AVE MARIA!!!
 
Once I’m done saying the “Hail, Holy Queen” I usually present my petitions/prayers to God; my Rosary brochure says in this step: “Please follow your local custom for other prayers at this point.” Then I make the sign of the cross to finish it up.

That is usually what I do, at least.

Thank you for this information- I was unsure if one needed to go back to the intro again or if you just continued on with the next set of mysteries.
 
If you are praying the complete rosary you do not go back to the intro - you just end each mystery with the Gloria Be and the Fatima Prayer and name the next mystery and then the Our Father and continue on.

Round and round. Very simple.🙂
