THE MEMORIAL OF THE HOLY ROSARY.
THE MEMORIAL OF THE MOST HOLY ROSARY.
"Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him,
"Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples."
"He said to them, "When you pray, say:
"Father, hallowed be your name, your Kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread and forgive us our sins
for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us,
and do not subject us to the final test." (Luke 11: 1 - 4).
Wednesday 7th October 2026 in the 27th Week in Ordinary Time is the Memorial of the Holy Rosary.
The Blessed Virgin Mary is known as the Lady under many titles: Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, etc. Our Lady of of Lourdes, Our Lady of the Rosary, etc.
The Rosary celebrates Mary as a powerful intercessor using the instrument of the Rosary Prayer.
Every sin and failure to act in charity is influenced by the demons.
It is obvious that we are in the era of Spiritual Warfare. If we are not, the Scriptures will not urge us again and again to be vigilant. The devil, our enemy never sleeps.
"The Rosary is the means by which I attach souls to myself. The Rosary assures souls of my presence and of my protection." (IN SINU JESU).
Yes. Protection in the spiritual warfare raging everywhere today in: families, work places, schools, offices, roads, etc.
We hear of demonic possessions and infestations. Do not take these happenings lightly. The Church does not ignore the many signs of the activities of evil spirits everywhere today. Neither should we. Jesus Christ speaking to one mystic says that the Holy Rosary is one of the most effective offensive and defensive tools against the Enemy of mankind.
Here is what the Church teaches about the Rosary:
"The Rosary is very pleasing to our Mother in heaven; she herself has recommended it. There are two elements of the Holy Rosary: meditation on its mysteries and vocal prayer. The Rosary surely reaches the motherly heart of Mary and moves her to obtain abundant graces for us." (Roman Missal).
Two recent popes, Pope St Paul VI and Pope St John Paul II have highly recommended the Rosary. Most saints since the 1500s have said the Rosary without fail.
"Your Rosary is like a ladder that you climb step by step, drawing you closer to our Lady, which means finding Christ. It is a devotion which leads us to Christ through Mary." (Pope St Paul VI, Marialis Cultus).
October is the Month of the Holy Rosary.
Why a special month for the Holy Rosary? Because the Rosary is very important in the life of the Church and in the life of individual Christian.
A FAMILY THAT PRAYS THE ROSARY TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER.
Say the Holy Rosary every day in October.
