The Feast of the Holy Rosary.

"Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb." (Luke 1: 28, 42. Entrance Antiphon).

Wednesday 7th October 2020, 27th Week in Ordinary Time is the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.

Today, the Church all over the world celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. We know the Blessed Virgin Mary is the Lady under many titles: Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, etc. One Lady, many titles. Our Lady of the Rosary celebrates Mary as a powerful intercessor using the instrument of the Rosary. Here is what the Church says 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).

THE SECRET OF THE HOLY ROSARY by St Louis Marie de Montfort helped to bring me back to the Church over 25 years ago. Since then I have said the Rosary every single day. Powerful pray. If you want to read the 15 Promises of Mary to those who say the Holy Rosary, click the link below:
