SUMMARY:October Month of Rosary
DESCRIPTION:Pope Leo  has encouraged the faithful to pray the Rosary during the month of May. \nRosary beads are used to help Catholics count their prayers. Catholics often pray the rosary to make a request to God\, some to thank God for blessings received or for requesting a special favour\, for example if someone is sick to help them recover. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage from: https://www.dummies.com/religion/christianity/catholicism/how-to-pray-the-rosary/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.    On the crucifix (cross)\, make the sign of the cross and then pray the Apostles’ Creed.\nI believe in God\, the Father Almighty\, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ\, His only Son\, Our Lord\, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost\, born of the Virgin Mary\, suffered under Pontius Pilate\, was crucified; died\, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven\, sitteth at the right hand of God\, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit\, the holy Catholic Church\, the communion of saints\, the forgiveness of sins\, the resurrection of the body\, and life everlasting. Amen.  \n2.    On the next large bead\, say the Our Father.\nOur Father\, Who art in heaven\, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation\, but deliver us from evil\, Amen. \n3.    On the following three small beads\, pray three Hail Marys.\nHail Mary\, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among 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. \n4.    On the chain\, pray The Glory Be.\nGlory be to the Father\, to the Son\, and to the Holy Spirit\, as it was\, is now\, and ever shall be\, world without end. Amen.  \n5.    On the large bead\, meditate on the first mystery and pray the Our Father.\nYou pray mysteries for each of the five sections (decades) of the rosary according to the day of the week: \nMondays and Saturdays: \nThe Joyful Mysteries remind the faithful of Christ’s birth: The Annunciation (Luke 1:26–38); The Visitation (Luke 1:39–56); The Nativity (Luke 2:1–21); The Presentation (Luke 2:22–38); The Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple (Luke 2:41–52) \nTuesdays and Fridays: \nThe Sorrowful Mysteries recall Jesus’ passion and death: The Agony of Jesus in the Garden (Matthew 26:36–56); The Scourging at the Pillar (Matthew 27:26); The Crowning with Thorns (Matthew 27:27–31); The Carrying of the Cross (Matthew 27:32); The Crucifixion (Matthew 27:33–56). \nWednesdays and Sundays: \nThe Glorious Mysteries focus on the resurrection of Jesus and the glories of heaven: The Resurrection (John 20:1–29); The Ascension (Luke 24:36–53); The Descent of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1–41); The Assumption of Mary\, the Mother of God\, into heaven; The Coronation of Mary in heaven. \nThursdays: \nPope John Paul II added The Mysteries of Light\, also known as the Luminous Mysteries\, in 2002: The Baptism in the River Jordan (Matthew 3:13–16); The Wedding Feast at Cana (John 2:1–11); The Preaching of the coming of the Kingdom of God (Mark 1:14–15); The Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1–8); The Institution of the Holy Eucharist (Matthew 26). \n6.    Skip the centerpiece medallion\, and on the ten beads after that\, pray a Hail Mary on each bead; on the chain\, pray a Glory Be.\nAlthough a decade is 10\, these 12 prayers form a decade of the rosary. \nMany Catholics add the Fatima Prayer after the Glory Be and before the next Our Father: O My Jesus\, forgive us our sins\, save us from the fires of hell and lead all souls to heaven\, especially those in most need of Thy mercy. Amen. \n7.    Repeat Steps 5 and 6 four more times to finish the next four decades.\n8.    At the end of your Rosary\, say the Hail Holy Queen.\nHail\, Holy Queen\, Mother of mercy\, our life\, our sweetness\, and our hope. To thee do we cry\, poor banished children of Eve\, to thee do we send up our sighs\, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then\, most gracious advocate\, thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb Jesus\, O clement\, O loving\, O sweet Virgin Mary. \nPray for us\, O holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. \nO God\, whose only-begotten Son\, by His life\, death\, and resurrection\, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal salvation; grant we beseech Thee\, that meditating upon these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary\, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. \nPope’s Message for May:
