As you know this is the month devoted to Mary and the recitation of the Rosary. In the letters we receive we get many requests for prayers. We are asking you who are saying the Rosary to remember those who are carrying the cross of cancer, family problems, heart attacks or terrible situations during the month of October. We dedicate this issue to our families and to those who are bearing any kind of family disruption.
O God,
whose only-begotten Son,
by His life, death and resurrection
has purchased for us
the rewards of eternal life;
grant,
we beseech You,
that meditating upon these mysteries
of the most holy rosary
of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
we may learn to imitate
what they contain and obtain
what they promise,
through the same
Christ our Lord.
Amen.
