OCTOBER, MONTH OF THE HOLY ROSARY
The Month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. Wednesday next, 7th October we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Rosary. We remember too St. Therese of Lisieux whose feast day was on Thursday last, 1st October. St. Therese had great devotion to Our Lady during her short life.
In 1206 Mary appeared to St. Dominic, she praised him for his valiant fight against the heretics and then gave him the Rosary as a mighty weapon, explained its uses and efficacy and told him to preach it to others.
Up to 2002, while praying the rosary we meditated on the Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary. In that year, Pope John Paul 11, in his Encyclical, Rosarium Virginis Marie, added the five Luminous Mysteries.
Through the meditations of the complete Rosary, the Popes tell us “the chief mysteries of the Christian Religion, the Mysteries of our Redemption, the great mysteries of Jesus and His mother united in joys, sorrows & triumphs”.
PRAYER OF THE MONTH
Prayer of St. Louis de Montfort
O Jesus living in Mary, come and live in your servants, in the spirit of Your holiness, in the fullness of Your might, in the perfection of Your ways, in the truth of Your virtues, in the communion of Your mysteries. Subdue every hostile power, the devil, the world and the flesh, in the strength of Your Spirit, for the glory of Your Father.
Amen.
