玫瑰经是一种安静、默观的祈祷，具有巨大的灵性力量。 The Rosary is a quiet, contemplative prayer with enormous spiritual power.
它的重复性使它成为一种祷词，旨在让我们放慢脚步，平静我 们不安的心灵，让基督生命的奥秘呈现在我们心灵的眼前。 Its very repetitiveness makes it a kind of mantra designed to slow us down, calm our restless hearts, and allow the mysteries of the life of Christ to appear before our mind's eye.
但我们到底该如何诵念玫瑰经呢？ But how exactly do we pray it?
玫瑰经实际上由一系列较短的祷文组成，全部诵念大约需要20分钟。 Well, the Rosary actually consists of a series of smaller prayers, all of which take about 20 minutes to pray.
为了我们今天的目的，我将说出每个祷文的名称：圣母祷文、主祷文等。关于 每个祷文的文本，请访问WordOnFire.org/rosary。 For our purposes today, I will say the names of each prayer: Hail Mary, Our Father, etc. For the text of each prayer, visit WordOnFire.org/rosary.
现在让我们一起诵念玫瑰经。 Now let's walk through the Rosary together.
握住玫瑰经的十字架，我们诵念古老的使徒信经，这是我们洗礼誓言的总结。 Holding the crucifix of the Rosary, we pray the ancient Apostles' Creed, which is a summary of our baptismal promises.
握住十字架上方的第一颗珠子，我们然后诵念主祷文，这当然是耶稣教导我们祈祷的经文。 Holding the first bead above the crucifix, we then pray the Our Father, which is of course the prayer Jesus taught us to pray.
对于接下来的三颗珠子，我们分别诵念圣母祷文，这源 自圣经中天使问马利亚是否愿意成为神之母的经文。 For each of the three beads that follow, we pray the Hail Mary, which is derived from the biblical text where an angel asks Mary if she’s willing to become the Mother of God.
在这三连祷中，我们可以祈求信心、盼望和爱的增长。 One thing we might pray for during this introductory triplet is an increase in faith, hope, and love.
接下来，我们诵念荣耀颂，赞美我们独一神的三个位格。 Next, we pray the Glory Be, which gives praise to the three persons of our one God.
现在我们进入玫瑰经的核心部分，即所谓的五端。 Now we move into the heart of the Rosary, the five decades, so-called.
这些是由一颗单独的珠子分隔开的十颗珠子组。 These are groupings of ten beads separated by an individual bead.
这些端各对应基督和他母亲生命中的一个奥秘。 Each of these decades corresponds to a mystery in the lives of Christ and His Mother.
当我们诵念玫瑰经时，我们按照四类奥秘之一来诵 念：欢喜奥秘、痛苦奥秘、荣福奥秘和光明奥秘。 When we pray the Rosary, we pray it following one of the four categories of mysteries: the Joyful Mysteries, the Sorrowful Mysteries, the Glorious Mysteries, and the Luminous Mysteries.
再次提醒，要了解更多关于玫瑰经奥秘的信息，请访 问WordOnFire.org/rosary。 Again, to learn more about the mysteries of the Rosary, visit WordOnFire.org/rosary.
那么让我们开始诵念五端吧。 So let's begin the decades.
在第一端开始前，我们宣布奥秘，然后诵念主祷文。 Before the first decade, we announce the mystery and then pray an Our Father.
然后，在十颗珠子上，我们各诵念一遍圣母祷文，一边祈祷一边默想奥秘。 Then, on each of the ten beads, we say a Hail Mary, contemplating the mystery as we pray.
在每端诵完第十遍圣母祷文后，我们诵念荣耀颂，接着诵念圣母在法 蒂玛显现时所恳求的祷文：我的耶稣啊，求祢宽恕我们的罪过，救我 们免下地狱，引领众灵升上天堂，尤其是那些最需要祢怜悯的人。 After we pray the tenth Hail Mary in each decade, we pray the Glory Be, followed by the prayer requested by the Blessed Virgin Mary in her apparition at Fatima: O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those who have most need of Your mercy.
总而言之，我们重复这一系列祷文：宣布奥秘、主祷文、十遍圣母祷文、荣 耀颂，以及法蒂玛祷文，五端各一次，一边诵念一边默想每一端的奥秘。 In summary, we repeat this cycle of prayers: announcement of the mystery, Our Father, ten Hail Marys, Glory Be, and the Fatima prayer for each of the five decades, meditating on each of the five mysteries as we move through each decade.
诵完五端后，我们诵念又福母后。 After saying the five decades, we pray the Hail Holy Queen.
然后我们可以诵念结束祷文。 Then we may recite the concluding prayer.
最后，我们以开始时同样的方式结束，画十字圣号。 Finally, we end in the same way we began, with the Sign of the Cross.
绕了一圈到达终点，我们又回到了起点。 Having gone around in a circle and reached the end, we are right back where we started.
从某种意义上说，这就是重点。 And in a way, that's the point.
玫瑰经并没有在世俗意义上把我们带到任何地方或完成 任何事情，但它让我们亲近主，使我们单单注目于祂。 The Rosary hasn't taken us anywhere or accomplished anything in a worldly sense, but it has drawn us into the courts of the Lord that we might simply gaze upon Him.
