The month of October is traditionally called the month of the Rosary.
One reason is that it is because the Feast of the Holy Rosary is on the 7th of this month and there is a story as well as a history to it.
The Rosary is not just a traditional prayer but also a popular prayer. The clergy say it, the laity say it and even the children say it; it is that simple a prayer.
Though simple, it is surprisingly an effective and powerful prayer. Popes and saints have recommended it as a prayer for beginners as well as for those who have advanced in spirituality.
“The Rosary is the ‘weapon’ for these times.” -Saint Padre Pio
“Give me an army saying the Rosary and I will conquer the world.” – Blessed Pope Pius IX
“The greatest method of praying is to pray the Rosary.” – Saint Francis de Sales
“Say the Holy Rosary. Blessed be that monotony of Hail Mary’s which purifies the monotony of your sins!” -St. Josemaria Escriva
Yes, the Rosary is a powerful prayer against evil and also for the conversion of sinners.
The Rosary is a channel to obtain the power that Jesus promised His disciples to tread underfoot serpents and scorpions and the whole strength of the enemy.
But it also requires the humility of a child for the power to God to be manifested through us.
Let us also ask Mary to pray for us to follow her in her way of humility and obedience and may we offer our prayer together with her in the Rosary.
