Prayers of the Rosary
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; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there He will 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 Our Father
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 amongst 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
(The Doxology) Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
The Fatima Prayer
Oh My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy.
The Hail Holy Queen
(The Salve Regina) Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
The Final Prayer
O God, whose only-begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life; grant, we beseech You, that we who meditate upon these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
How to pray the Rosary
The Rosary is a prayer that invites us to draw closer to Christ by reflecting on the mysteries of His life. The physical Rosary itself is a spiritual compass that guides you through the prayer, though you can still pray it without one.
1. Make the Sign of the Cross and say the “Apostles Creed.” 2. Say the “Our Father.” 3. Say three “Hail Marys” for Faith, Hope, and Charity. 4. Say the “Glory Be.” 5. Announce the First Mystery and say the “Our Father.” 6. Say ten “Hail Marys” while meditating on the Mystery. 7. Say the “Glory Be” and “The Fatima Prayer.” 8. Announce the next Mystery and say the “Our Father.”
Repeat steps 6 through 8 as you complete the Mysteries. 9. Say the “Hail Holy Queen” and “Final Prayer.” 10. Make the Sign of the Cross.

After temporarily closing in the fall of 2020 during the region’s COVID-19 surge, the Health Zone at Saint Francis reopened its doors for exercise and wellness activities on March 8.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, Saint Francis Health System has been a loud advocate for COVID-19 precautions, safety and prevention. And while other “fitness” facilities in town stayed open during the record-setting surge of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in our area, for the safety of our members and staff, the difficult decision was made to temporarily close. “As part of Saint Francis Health System, the Health Zone is more than just a gym—it is a partner in health,” said Graydon Yohe, director of Health Zone. “In early March as COVID numbers declined, and after consultation with our infection control department, the Tulsa Health Department and medical staff leadership, Health Zone was allowed to reopen with strict safety and prevention protocols in place.”
Health Zone has the following safety policies in effect:
• temperatures taken at check-in to the facility; • masks are mandatory at all times throughout the building (regardless of vaccination status); • monitored capacity limits; • enhanced pandemic-guided sanitation measures; • increased air exchanges within ventilation system; • exercise floor arranged for social distancing; • fitness class capacity limits to allow for social distancing; • locker room arranged for social distancing; • members asked to wash and sanitize their hands frequently; • equipment should be wiped down before and after each use; • members are asked to stay home if they are sick.
