How to Pray the Rosary

Santa Muerte – How to Pray her Rosary

Praying the rosary is used as a form of devotion or offering (of your time) to Santa Muerte. Use a rosary necklace to keep track of the number of prayers you've already recited, hold it between your fingers while praying.

If you don't have a statue and altar for her just simply take a white cloth lay it on a table take a white candle and a glass of water. always start with reciting the Saint Michael prayer, then ask God for permission to invoke her (with a special prayer, if you don't have it Let me know ill send it). then pray the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be and start the rosary prayers.

Simply start at the medallion or cross with the apostle's creed and move up the necklace one bead at a time, reciting the appropriate prayer or set of prayers that correspond to each point on the rosary. Go up one side of the necklace and down the other until all beads have been covered.

Opening Prayer (without holding a bead, just the rosary)

O Most Holy Death, fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your spirit to renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray. O Lord, who teaches the hearts of the faithful through the Most Holy Death, grant that, by means of the power of the Blessed and Divine Death Herself, we always receive wise counsel and ever rejoice in Her consolation. May the most precious Holy Death arise from Her kingdom, the Temple of Divine Wisdom, Tabernacle of Divine Knowledge, and Light of the Earth: Cover us with Your mantle now and forever. Amen.

(On the cross/medal) Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His 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, he is seated at the right hand of the Father Almighty, He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Concluding Prayer

Santissima Muerte, Our Most Holy Mother of the World, we call to you lovingly to protect those who carry your prayers and devoutly honour you. Protect us from ourselves when we experience separation from God. Protect us when we are fearful and when we are arrogant. Cover us with your mantle, and guard us with your scythe, that our enemies, both human and subtle, may not have dominion over us. Protect us from bad luck, disease, and envy; witchcraft, hexes, and curses; lightning, fires, and earthquakes; demons, evil spirits, and phantoms; evil eyes, evil hearts, and evil minds. Cover us, oh Holy Mother, so that no evil can see us, no evil can touch us, and no evil can follow us. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
