Hello family!

Happy Feast Day of Our Lady of the Rosary! This is day 54 of our 54-day Rosary Novena.

Every year on October 7th, The Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, formerly known as Feast of Our Lady of Victory. Pope Pius the V, Established this feast in 1573 to thank God for a Christian military victory over the Turks- a victory attributed to the praying of the Rosary.

The way we pray the rosary has developed over time. According to franciscanmedia.org. The Initial practice was to pray for 150 Our Fathers to imitate the 150 Psalms. Then there was a parallel practice of Praying 150 Hail Marys. In the 16th Century, the Rosary was developed to include 15 Mysteries of the life of Jesus; 5 Joyful, 5 Sorrowful, and 5 Glorious. In 2002, Pope John Paul II added the 5 Luminous Mysteries to the Rosary. The purpose of the Rosay is to help us meditate on the mysteries of our salvation: the birth of Jesus, His Life, death, and resurrection.

The 54-Day Rosary Novena Originated In the Late 19th, Century when Mary made an apparition to a Young girl, Agrelli of Naples, Italy. Our Lady Queen of the Most Holy Rosary specified that whoever desired to obtain favors from her should make three novenas of the prayers of the Rosary in the petition, and three novenas in thanksgiving. On our website, you can read a bit more about the History of the 54-Day Rosary Novena.

Today on the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, I share with you the joy of completing our 54-Day Rosary Novena. I Pray that through the intercession of Mary, your petitions are granted if it is God's Holy Will.

We have completed our 54-day Rosary Novena, but I encourage you to continue praying the rosary daily. The Rosary is a beautiful prayer that we can use to draw closer to Jesus and Mary by Meditating on the great mysteries of our Salvation. God willing, our next 54-Day Rosary Novena will start on February 15 and end on April 9th. A beautiful way to prepare our hearts for Easter Sunday 2023. The Novena will be published in English and Spanish.
