#Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary
Text
On October 7, the Roman Catholic Church celebrates the yearly feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.
Known for several centuries by the alternate title of “Our Lady of Victory,” the feast day takes place in honor of a 16th-century naval victory, which secured Europe against Turkish invasion.
Pope St. Pius V attributed the victory to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who was invoked on the day of the battle through a campaign to pray the Rosary throughout Europe.
The feast always occurs one week after the similar Byzantine celebration of the Protection of the Mother of God, which most Eastern Orthodox Christians and Eastern Catholics celebrate on October 1 in memory of a 10th-century military victory, which protected Constantinople against invasion after a reported Marian apparition.
Pope Leo XIII was particularly devoted to Our Lady of the Rosary, producing 11 encyclicals on the subject of this feast and its importance in the course of his long pontificate.
In the first of them, 1883's “Supremi Apostolatus Officio,” he echoed the words of the oldest known Marian prayer (known in the Latin tradition as the “Sub Tuum Praesidium”), when he wrote:
“It has always been the habit of Catholics in danger and in troublous times to fly for refuge to Mary."
“This devotion, so great and so confident, to the august Queen of Heaven,” Pope Leo continued, “has never shone forth with such brilliancy as when the militant Church of God has seemed to be endangered by the violence of heresy … or by an intolerable moral corruption, or by the attacks of powerful enemies.”
Foremost among such “attacks” was the Battle of Lepanto, a perilous and decisive moment in European and world history.
Troops of the Turkish Ottoman Empire had invaded and occupied the Byzantine empire by 1453, bringing a large portion of the increasingly divided Christian world under a version of Islamic law.
For the next hundred years, the Turks expanded their empire westward on land and asserted their naval power in the Mediterranean.
In 1565, they attacked Malta, envisioning an eventual invasion of Rome. Though repelled at Malta, the Turks captured Cyprus in the fall of 1570.
The next year, three Catholic powers on the continent – Genoa, Spain, and the Papal States - formed an alliance called the Holy League, to defend their Christian civilization against Turkish invasion.
Its fleets sailed to confront the Turks near the west coast of Greece on 7 October 1571.
Crew members on more than 200 ships prayed the Rosary in preparation for the battle — as did Christians throughout Europe, encouraged by the Pope to gather in their churches to invoke the Virgin Mary against the daunting Turkish forces.
Some accounts say that Pope Pius V was granted a miraculous vision of the Holy League's stunning victory.
Without a doubt, the Pope understood the significance of the day's events, when he was eventually informed that all but 13 of the nearly 300 Turkish ships had been captured or sunk.
He was moved to institute the feast now celebrated universally as Our Lady of the Rosary.
“Turkish victory at Lepanto would have been a catastrophe of the first magnitude for Christendom,” wrote military historian John F. Guilmartin, Jr., “and Europe would have followed a historical trajectory strikingly different from that which obtained.”

Today is Our Lady of Sorrows' Feast Day
I cannot participate with anything today due to medical procedure. But I at least want to share the Rosary I got for Mater Dolorosa.
Here are the Prayers of the Rosary/Chaplet for Our Lady of Sorrows
When I was a child in Latino Catholicism (Dominican & Puerto Rican based on the neighborhood) we lit 7 Day Candles, they were available at the small "Spanish Market" in their own aisle (like these). I wanted to take a image of Our Lady of Sorrows, print it on printer sticker paper, and attach it to a blank 7 Day Candle. However, I don't have the energy right now unfortunately (and my room is in ruins moving things so no space to work properly on the project) This is what I have for her right now!

THE DESCRIPTION OF OUR LADY OF THE HOLY ROSARY
Feast Day: October 7
In the words of Pope Francis: "The Rosary is a prayer that always accompanies me; it is also the prayer of the ordinary people and the saints... it is a prayer from my heart."
As well as Bl. Bartolo Longo: "Awaken your confidence in the Most Blessed Virgin of the Rosary. Venerable Holy Mother, in You I rest all my troubles, all my trust and all my hope!"
And there is the description for this one - for the Holy Rosary is a matter of love.
The feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary was established in 1571 by Pope St. Pius V, to commemorate the decisive victory of the combined fleet of the Holy League of 1571 over the Ottoman Turks at the Battle of Lepanto. The victory of the Christian fleet over the Ottoman Fleet was attributed to the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose help invoked through prayed the Holy Rosary.
According to a venerable tradition, this beautiful prayer was revealed to the founder of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans), St. Dominic de Guzmán, by the Blessed Mother. The 150 Hail Marys (now 200) corresponded to the number of Psalms, which the illiterate people of that time could not understand. The first part of the Hail Mary was taken from the Holy Gospel of Luke; the second part is from the tradition of the Church.
The 20 mysteries, divided into Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and Luminous, reflected the principal events of the life of Jesus and Mary. Pope Paul VI said that a rosary without meditation on these mysteries is like a dead person without life.
The litany, taken from the Sanctuary of Loreto in Italy, were added to the rosary in 1592. The Fátima Prayer, which we repeat after every decade, was dictated by the Blessed Virgin Mary to the three visionaries of Fátima in 1917.
Those who consider it monotonous to repeat the same prayer so many times should be reminded that lovers are never tired of repeating the same few words over and over.
These four images here is the vintage and antique image of the Our Lady of the Holy Rosary is owned from a family which spanned from generations.

Unseen Warfare
THE EXORCIST, THE ROSARY & THE DEVIL
(3-min read)
It happened last October 7th in Milan, Italy. Don Ambrogio Villa, exorcist priest of the diocese of Milan, forced the devil, Belzebul, during the exorcism to confess to the spiritual secrets of the Holy Rosary.
Don Ambrogio - O Virgin, today is your feast, that of the Holy Rosary. I would like this "Belzebul" to give us a catechesis on the Holy Rosary. So I ask you, Madonna, we have already heard some catechesis, but today is a special feast. I ask you that for a few minutes, or for many minutes, he be forced by you to speak about the Holy Rosary. Therefore, with Mary's permission and by order of Heaven, I command you to speak to us about the Holy Rosary and its power against you. In the name of God, I command you to speak. Speak well, in clear Italian, and tell us many things and beautiful things. Speak. In correct Italian.
Belzebul - That crown (of the Rosary) destroys me.
Don Ambrogio - Speak better, in correct Italian. You are capable. Go ahead.
Belzebul - Every Hail Mary blows my mind.
Don Ambrogio - Speak, without me having to tell you. Our Lady wants you to tell us the power of the Holy Rosary against you.
Belzebul - It is a simple prayer that not everyone does. But the one who makes it is united to the life of Christ and Mary. And it blows my mind to hear that refrain. I can't stand it. I also get annoyed when people hold it in their hands, even when they're not praying it. I can't stand it. But she loves this prayer.
Don Ambrogio – Continue.
Belzebul - And he who prays it in the family has a special protection from Her. I can't go into that house. I have not been given permission. Because the power of the Holy Rosary in the family crushes me.
Don Ambrogio - Go on.
Belzebul - And in those families, if there is only one person who prays it, he can save the others in the family.
Don Ambrogio - Oh Mary, I thank you for forcing this demon Belzebul to do this publicity, this catechesis on the Rosary. O Mary, I would like to share it with many people, with your permission. Force him to speak. Go on.
Belzebul - Her favorite mysteries are those of the Passion of Christ. For there is all the salvation of mankind.
Don Ambrogio - And the Glorious ones are not?
Belzebul – Also
Don Ambrogio - Continue.
Belzebul - But to whomever recites the Rosary, I come to disturb him.
Don Ambrogio - How?
Belzebul - With thoughts. Distractions.
Don Ambrogio - But Our Lady thanks him anyway, right?
Belzebul - Yes.
Don Ambrogio - Go ahead.
Belzebul - You should pray with the children. Teach them this prayer before I come to bother them, because afterwards I steal their purity, that is, mothers should pray it for the children because I want to destroy the family and the young people.
Don Ambrogio - O Virgin, we thank you because you have given us the Rosary that you continue to recommend every time you appear. But we also thank you for these words of 'Belzebul' that in this exorcism I, your priest, am carrying out with the help and participation of six collaborators who pray and are at my side. Thank you, O Mary, if you still want to force Beelzebub to tell us something, I ask you to force him to continue.
Belzebul - To whomever prays the rosary, she gives many thanks. Really many, many. And I can't stand it. Even the novenas are blowing my mind. I can't stand them. Above all, the novena to the Virgin Undoer of Knots.
Don Ambrogio - We like Litanies a lot. I used to notice that you suffered from them. What do you say about Litanies?
Belzebul - They crush me, they annoy me!
Don Ambrogio - Why?
Belzebul: Because it is a continuous praise, praise, praise.
Don Ambrogio - But She deserves it.
Belzebul: For you!
Don Ambrogio - But is She really your Queen, even if you don't recognize Her? Or not?
Belzebul – Yes
Don Ambrogio - And after the Litanies, what else can you tell us? Because not everyone says it when they finish the Rosary.
Belzebul - I know, I know. Those who don't pray them are mistaken.
Don Ambrogio: Oh, how many beautiful things, Virgin, that you give us unexpectedly. Also through this devil whose name -at least he said the name- is Belzebul. We praise you, O Mary. Does she tell you to tell us something yet, or are you finished? Answer!
Belzebul: I am finished.
Don Ambrogio: Then we pray, O Mary. (They pray the Hail Mary). O Mary, on this day of the Holy Rosary, today, October 7, 2019, we give you thanks I am your priest, exorcist from Milan. I thank you for this gift you have given us for your glory. So be it. Amen.

hi guysss it's me the adventurous devotee again. i would like to share a blog about my experience in the 42nd Intramuros Grand Marian Procession held this year.
short trivia and information, basically this blog is about the grandest marian procession in the Philippines held in the streets of walled city of intramuros, manila every year in early december. a grand marian procession is the procession of the different images of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of one true God under different titles from different places in our country. devotees and delegates from different parishes across the country gathers at intramuros to start a solemn and grandiose procession in honor of the feast of the principal patroness of our country, the immaculate conception every first sunday of december every year. the chariots bearing different images of BVM participants are exclusive to those who are invited by the Cofradia de la Inmaculada Concepcion de Intramuros.
let me start to share my experience. so i am from rosario, cavite, but my name is listed in the chariot/galleon carozza of our lady of solitude of porta vaga, cavite city because she is my patroness. together with the cofradia de la virgen de la soledad de porta vaga, we travelled from cavite city to intramuros to participate in the procession in honor of our virgin of solitude. the 350+ painted image of our lady of solitude of porta vaga is greatly venerated and payed respect at plaridel st. san roque cavite city. she is hailed as the queen and protectress of our province. the procession of the our lady of solitude of porta in intramuros started at 6pm, her silver galleon carozza is escorted by the altar servers, the flags, the philippine army, republica filipina reenactment group, the Cofradia, and the devotees. she graced the historic walls of intramuros in full solemnity through the recitation of the spanish rosary and the wearing of black clothes together with candles that lights up the street. the experience is one of a kind considering this event only happens once a year out of town. the procession concluded at muralla street by dismantling of the galleon carozza through the help of cofradia and care takers at 8pm in preparation of the coming home of the venerated painting of the our lady of solitude of porta vaga. i could say that this is the best religious procession I've ever attended. the surreal feeling and experience is unexplainable and beyond words. you could literally feel the presence of our lady just by attending the procession of her image. if i were to asked to rate it, i would rate it infinity over ten. it was an incomparable experience, I'd like to remember it that way.

As Christian and Turkish forces met in battle in the Gulf of Lepanto (near Greece) on Oct. 7, 1571, Pope Pius V asked Mary to protect Catholic lands and Catholics to pray the rosary. The ensuing Christian victory was attributed to Our Lady of the Rosary. In 1572 the pope allowed some celebrations of Our Lady of Victory on the first Sunday in October; in 1573 the feast was changed to Our Lady of the Rosary, and in 1716 the feast became universal. The Oct. 7 date was fixed in 1913.
