PAPA FRANCESCO AND THE MOST HOLY ROSARY





The Holy Father said the month of October is also the month of the Rosary, noting how it is the tradition on the first Sunday of this month to pray to the Madonna of Pompeii, the blessed Virgin Mary of the Holy Rosary. Pope Francis said the Rosary is “a school of prayer,” and “a school of faith!”

From Papa Francesco's Angelus message Sunday October 6, 2013



Prayer with Mary, especially the rosary – but listen carefully: the Rosary. Do you pray the Rosary every 

day? But I’m not sure you do… [the people shout "Yes!"] Really? Well, prayer with Mary, especially the 

Rosary, has this "suffering" dimension, that is of struggle, a sustaining prayer in the battle against the evil one 

and his accomplices. The Rosary also sustains us in the battle.
