The Prayers:
The Sign of the Cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The Apostles' 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; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sits at the right hand of God, The Father Almighty, from thence He shall 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.
The Lord's Prayer: 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.
The 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.
The 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.

Preference Options:
There are three options which you can set as preferences.
1. Mysteries announcement.
These include the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and Luminous Mysteries. When this option is enabled, Alexa will determine the day of the week at your location. Alexa will then announce the Mysteries based on the day of the week.
2. Congregation and Partner Modes.
If the congregation option is selected, Alexa, as the Cantor, will recite the first part of each prayer. Then you, along with the congregation consisting of several voices, will recite the second part.
If this option is off, either Sarah or Peter will recite the Rosary with you as your partner.
3. Voice options: Peter or Sarah.
