The month of October is dedicated to the
Most Holy Rosary.
Primarily, the Catholic Church picked October for this dedication, because October 7 is the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.
“The Rosary is my favorite prayer. A marvelous prayer! Marvelous in its simplicity and its depth.” ~ St. John Paul II
The Rosary is a scripturally based prayer which helps us to contemplate the events of the Gospels while reciting the Hail Mary. The repetition of the prayers allows for an interior silence that assists us in meditating on the mysteries and connecting them with Christ.
Celebrating the month:
*Pray a rosary (or a decade) each day of October
*Pray it for someone else’s intentions and send them a card
*Meditate on the fruits of each mystery and how it relates to your intention
*Learn about approved Marian apparitions
Kid version: make a rosary out of food (marshmallows and pretzels, m&ms and twizzlers, etc), eat the “bead” as you say that prayer!
