Feast of Our Lady of Rosary

Feast of our Lady of Rosary

 In all the six apparitions of Fatima, Our Lady said: "Pray the Rosary". The feast of our Lady of Rosary is the commemoration of the victory of Christians over the Turks in the battle of Lepanto which was won by the effects of praying the rosary. If earthly battle was won by praying the rosary how much more can spiritual battles be won by the same?

The shepherd boy David fought against the giant Goliath. He shot a stone from his slingshot and killed Goliath. Today we are attacked by so many "Goliaths" in our spiritual life. However, our help is in the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth. Let us turn to the Queen of Heaven and earth and pull out our *spiritual slingshot* which is the HOLY ROSARY and win the battle against devil.

For it is said, the Rosary is the scourge to the devil. Hence Rosary is described as a weapon or an armour against the devils attack. 

The Rosary is a summary of the Gospel. Therefore, by praying the Rosary fervently, we get to know Jesus and Mary better and this will make us fall in love with them. 

Holding the rosary is to hold the hands of Mary. And when Mary our Mother holds our hands we are safe and secure. Let our hands that hold and scroll the touch screens also hold and scroll the rosary beads every day.  

 As we honour her on this great day with utmost gratitude we put ourselves under her motherly guidance and care, and allow her to direct our hearts to Jesus.
