The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary

The month of October each year is dedicated to Rosary. The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary was introduced by Pope St. Pius V (1504-1572) in the year 1571 to commemorate the miraculous victory of the Christian forces in the Battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571. Mary has often said to each of us, without you, God’s plan cannot be realized. Dear children, grow closer to God through prayer and the Rosary.

Our Lady has given us the weapon against our Goliath.

Here are our Five Stones:

Prayer with the heart: Rosary

Eucharist

Holy Bible – Scripture

Fasting

Monthly Confession

What child would refuse a loving mother’s request. Mary is our spiritual mother; she has asked us to pray the Rosary for peace in the world, for the conversion of our families, and for all that ails the world we live in. Could each of us take 25 minutes to meditate on the life of Jesus and Mary as we pray the Rosary? It is just a matter of saying yes…. the graces and benefits will be felt in our lives. Our Lady has said to her children, do not forget that true peace comes only through prayer, from God Who is our peace. Each Hail Mary is like a Rose given to our Spiritual Mother…….Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us!
