Step 2: THE FIRST FOUR BEADS

Say the Our Father on the large bead
Say three Hail Marys - one on each of the small beads

Step 3: PRAYING THE DECADES

Announce the First Mystery and then say the Our Father - said on the large bead
Say 10 Hail Marys - one on each of the next small beads
Say the Glory Be and O My Jesus prayer - no bead associated, but can use the large bead
