October & The month of the Rosary

“The Rosary is the most excellent form of prayer and the most efficacious means of attaining eternal life. It is the remedy for all our evils, the root of all our blessings. There is no more excellent way of praying” ( Pope Leo XIII)

By tradition, the Catholic Church dedicates each month of the year to certain devotion. The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary, one of the best known of all Catholic devotions.

If you say the Holy Rosary every day, with a spirit of faith and love, Our Lady will make sure she leads you very far along her Son’s path. The purpose of the Rosary is to help us meditate on the great mysteries of our salvation.

But just as any house wife knows you have to spring clean and remove the dust, dirt and grime that accumulate over time. That’s hard work that we often times put aside for may reasons. In our spiritual lives  we also need a good  spring clean. That ‘s the true power of confession. Its restores us and reviatalises  us. The great power of the the  Rosary is that it breaks the bondage of habitual sin we are so attached to. It is a remedy for all our evils! The rosary ultimately  gives grace to focus us back on Jesus and not on ourselves , not on our despair, and  our sins. Mary full of Grace pray for us!
