From : http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-rosary.htm The Rosary prayers are counted on the chaplet's beads according to a prescribed form. Detailed instructions for praying the Rosary are widely available on the Internet and in books, but here is an abbreviated form. The Ave Maria is prayed on the sets of 10 beads. The Lord's Prayer begins every decade, on the large beads. At the end of each decade, the person recites the Gloria Patri and the prayer "Oh my Jesus." The prayers are ended with the prayer beginning "Hail Holy Queen" and another beginning, "Oh God, Whose only begotten Son " The person also meditates on particular events in the lives of Jesus and Mary while praying.
