"Your Greatness is not What You Have, It's What You Give"

Each day throughout the month of October, we invite you to pray the Rosary.

October is the month devoted to the Holy Rosary.

This is the perfect time for us to reflect upon the meaning of the Rosary and its significance in our walk of faith.

The Rosary is taken from the Latin word “rosarium” which means “crown of roses” or “garland of roses.” During October, we invite you to pray the Rosary individually, with family members or in  groups with friends and people around you.

Through the Rosary, we immerse ourselves in Christ’s life from birth, through death, to his glorious Resurrection. It is a celebration of the mysteries of the life and death of Our Lord and Our Lady’s special place in cooperating with her son in our salvation.

There are twenty mysteries reflected upon in the Rosary, and these are divided into the five Joyful Mysteries (prayed on Monday and Saturday), the five Luminous Mysteries (prayed on Thursday), the five Sorrowful Mysteries (prayed on Tuesday and Friday), and the five Glorious Mysteries (prayed on Wednesday and Sunday).

Form the  virtue of constant prayer in your daily life. Do your best to pray the Rosary daily if you could, repeat the Hail Mary very often during the day and love to sing hymns to our Blessed Mother Mary. There are many beautiful hymns to our lady.  You can find many of them by typing  into the google page, YouTube beautiful hymns to our lady and you will have as many as you may wish.

May our blessed Mother Mary obtain for us everything we need from her Divine Son our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ both now and forever. Amen.
