OCTOBER 7 ~ FEAST OF THE HOLY ROSARY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

On October 7, 1571, two years after the Vatican urged that the Rosary be put into universal use, an event took place that caused the devotion to gain widespread popularity. One of the most famous naval battles in history took place that day in Lepanto Bay, off the coast of Greece. The opposing forces were Christian, composed of an alliance of fleets from Spain and Italy, against a far superior Turkish navy. The Muslim force threatened to take over the Mediterranean Sea and therefore be in a position to attack European countries. Pope Pius V asked the Christian faithful to pray the Rosary and seek the intercession of the Blessed Mother to defeat the Muslim navy.

Despite being outnumbered, the Christian fleet prevailed. Consequently, Pope Pius established October 7 as a feast of Our Lady of Victory, thus perpetually bringing honor to the Blessed Mother for her help. In 1573, Pope Gregory XIII (r. 1572-85) changed the name of the feast to Our Lady of the Rosary, a feast that the Church continues to celebrate to this day.

Pray the Rosary every day.

Battles are won with your Rosary in hand! Long live the Virgin of the Holy Rosary!

Oct 4, 2026 THE XIX SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

⚜️ GOSPEL
Ephesians 4:23-28
23 And be renewed in spirit of your mind: 24 And put on the new man, who according to God is created in justice and holiness of truth. 25 Wherefore, putting away lying, speak ye the truth, every man with his neighbour. For we are members one of another. 26 Be angry: and sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your anger. 27 Give not place to the devil. 28 He that stole, let him now steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have something to give to him that suffereth need.

⚜️ Matthew 22:1-14
1 And Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying: 2 The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king who made a marriage for his son. 3 And he sent his servants to call them that were invited to the marriage: and they would not come. 4 Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come ye to the marriage. 5 But they neglected and went their ways, one to his farm and another to his merchandise. 6 And the rest laid hands on his servants and, having treated them contumeliously, put them to death. 7 But when the king had heard of it, he was angry: and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers and burnt their city. 8 Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy. 9 Go ye therefore into the highways; and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage. 10 And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered together all that they found, both bad and good: and the marriage was filled with guests. 11 And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment. 12 And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having on a wedding garment? But he was silent. 13 Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

OCTOBER IS DEDICATED TO THE MOST HOLY ROSARY

The Church dedicates an entire month to it, thanks to Pope Leo XIII, with the Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary on October 7.

The date remembers Lepanto in 1571, when Pope St. Pius V asked the faithful to pray the Rosary and our Christian fleet won.

Pope Leo XIII called the rosary a spiritual weapon not only for private devotion but for the evils of public life.

The Rosary is the school of the Gospel, a prayer for difficult times, a way of contemplating with Mary the face of Christ.

⚜️ Pray the Holy Rosary Everyday ⚜️

"To obtain salvation for many, who on account of their wicked lives, could not be saved according to the rigor of divine justice, but might be saved with the help of her sweet mercy and powerful intercession."
- Saint John Chrysostom

"The conflict with Hell cannot be maintained by men... The Immaculata alone has from God the promise of victory over Satan.”
-Saint Maximilian Kolbe

“Have you not often met poor old women who are most faithful to the pious recitation of the Rosary? You also must do all that you can to recite it with fervour. Get right down, at the feet of Jesus: it is a good thing to make oneself small in the presence of so great a God.”
– Dom Columba Marmion

"Prayer is powerful beyond limits when we turn to the Immaculata who is queen even of God’s heart."
Saint John Vianney

⚜️ Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen
