Finding a rosary is easily done, since they are on sale at churches and online, and the cheapest plastic ones can be very cheap. It’s worth getting a priest to bless it, too.
The prayers are also simple: five “decades”, each of which consists of an Our Father, 10 Hail Marys and a Glory Be. Many Catholics add the “O My Jesus” prayer as requested by Our Lady of Fatima. While praying each decade, you can meditate on the specific mystery, on the words of the prayer, and/or devote each Hail Mary to a specific person or intention.
Sundays and Wednesdays are devoted to the Glorious Mysteries, Mondays and Saturdays to the Joyful, Tuesdays and Fridays to the Sorrowful. Thursdays are traditionally also for the Joyful Mysteries, but some prefer to say the Luminous Mysteries instituted by St John Paul II.
You can say it by yourself or, still better, with your family or friends. The most important thing is to find time, even if it can only be found in a snatched interval. The daily rosary brings great benefits, and many saints have said things like St Francis de Sales’s axiom: “The greatest method of praying is to pray the rosary.”
