October is the "Month of the Rosary," a time when we are called to especially focus on this beautiful devotion given to us through Mary to St. Dominic in the 13th century, and gifted to the entire Church!
The Rosary "slows us down" and helps us to contemplate the mysteries of Christ's life alongside his Blessed Mother. "The greatest of mystics and scholars have lost themselves in the depths of the mysteries presented by these scenes of the incarnation, death, and resurrection of the Redeemer," wrote Sister Mary Jean Dorcy.
If it's been 5 minutes or 5 years since you last prayed the Rosary, let this month be a time of returning to this beautiful devotion. In all our distractions, our exhaustion, and our trials, Mary will be with us, "now and at the hour of our death."
You may also come join us in praying the Rosary every Wednesday at 9 am in the Mary Chapel. "Newbies" are welcome!
