Hold the crucifix in your right or left hand
Let the rosary beads drape naturally between your fingers
Use your thumb and forefinger to move from bead to bead
Keep the rosary loop relaxed in your hand
Hold the first bead after the crucifix when beginning prayers
Move along the beads one at a time as you pray
Rest the remaining beads lightly in your palm or around your fingers
Keep a comfortable grip without pulling the beads tight
