October Rosary Month

October Rosary Month

The Virgin Mary in her different names, state of grace, and miracles are shown in a Marian exhibit held this October, 2010 at the Mall of Asia in the Philippines.

Radio Veritas 846 and the Department of Education  with supporters and sponsors highlight this event for October Rosary Month.

The Rosary is a form of prayer and devotion depicting life scenes of Jesus Christ (Mysteries of Christ’s life:  Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, Luminous) the time he was born till the time he died, and his resurrection.  In the rosary Mother Mary intercedes and prays with the people of God.

Prayers of  priests and the religious beg for intentions of families/communities; and peace in the land and the whole world.

In some areas, October Rosary month culminates with stations on blocks where people pray together on the streets.  Parents, children, and  helpers pray the rosary together everyday for the whole month.  On the month end, in some parishes – a special program is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin.
