I will accompany you or your prayer group while praying the Single Decade Short Rosary. Many people like to use these smaller sized rosaries.
Short Rosaries are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. Common names for them include Bracelet Rosary, Finger Rosary, and the Basque Ring Rosary. Historically, Irish penal rosaries were small and easy to conceal.
Various religious orders and individuals pray the Rosary in different ways. Variations include praying just one decade, or praying the single decade rosary multiple times.
The words for the prayers are from The Vatican News website. The sequence which Alexa follows, and the exact wording is listed below for your review.
____________ Prayer sequence:
