SOME OCTOBER PRAYERS

 DAILY ROSARY PRAYERS IN OCTOBER The following prayers are recited daily with the Rosary during the Month of October, which is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. On the Feast of the Holy Rosary (Oct. 7) the complete set of prayers are prayed in order, interspersed throughout the entire fifteen decades of the Rosary. However, the faithful are urged to recite the entire fifteen decades every day of the month of October. V. O God, make speed to save me. R. O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be to the Father... Opening prayers of the Rosary Prayer for Mondays & Thursdays before the Joyful Mysteries O Queen of the Holy Rosary, dear Lady of Fatima, the very thought that so many have been blessed only because they had recourse to thee with confidence, inspires us with fresh hope and courage to call upon thee to come to our assistance. Thou didst once promise Saint Dominic that whosoever desired the grace of God should obtain it by means of thy Rosary: now we, with Rosary in hand, call up...

OCTOBER: THE MONTH OF HOLY ROSARY

  OCTOBER: MONTH OF THE HOLY ROSARY  The month of the Holy Rosary is October and this entire month is dedicated to the Rosary. The feast day of the Holy Rosary in particular is October 7th. The feast of the Rosary is held on October 7th in memory of the glorious and triumphant VICTORY AT THE BATTLE OF LEPANTO. That battle was the most convincing military victory that proved without a doubt the great POWER OF THE ROSARY.   WHY ARE MAY AND OCTOBER MARIAN MONTHS?  Honoring Mary during the month of May has early roots.

Still later in date (seventeenth century at earliest) is the adoption of the custom of consecrating the month of May to the Blessed Virgin by special observances. Pope Pius XII further solidified May as a particular...

MILITARY VICTORY THROUGH THE ROSARY

  MILITARY VICTORIES THROUGH THE ROSARY Military victories through the Rosary inspire great confidence in the awesome power of the Rosary. The history of the Rosary is filled with amazing military triumphs where those devoted to reciting the Rosary prayer were victorious despite great and often times insurmountable odds.   Many soldiers are devoted to the Rosary. It brings them peace when little else can during times of war.  Military victories through the Rosary motivate and inspire soldiers during times of war. Every soldier desires peace. This peace is only attained through the Rosary.  1213 VICTORY OF MURET This is the first of many Military Victories through the rosary. When the Christians were at battle against the heretical Albigensians, St Dominic taught them to pray the Rosary. The Christian army prayed before the battle of Muret. The triumph at Muret set the stage for a long history of military victories through the Rosary that would follow in the year...
