The month of October each year is dedicated to the
Most Holy Rosary. This is primarily due to the fact
that the liturgical feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is
celebrated annually on October 7th. It was
instituted to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary in
gratitude for the protection that she gives the
Church in answer to the praying of the Rosary by
the faithful.
The feast was introduced by Pope St. Pius V (15041572) in the year 1571 to commemorate the
miraculous victory of the Christian forces in the
Battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571. The pope
attributed more to the "arms" of the Rosary than
the power of cannons and the valor of the soldiers
who fought there.
Legend tells us that the Rosary as a form of prayer
was given to St. Dominic (1170- 1221) by Mary, the
Mother of Our Lord, who entrusted it to him as an
aid in the conflicts with the Albigensians. The
Dominican pope, St. Pius V, did much to further the
spread of the Rosary and it thereafter became one
of the most popular devotions in Christendom. It

was the same Pope St. Pius V, who in 1569 officially approved the Rosary in its present form with the
Papal Bull, CONSUEVERUNT ROMANI PONTIFECES. It had been completed by the addition of the
second half of the "Hail Mary" and the "Glory be to the Father" at the conclusion of each mystery.
Current scholarship traces the development of the Rosary to the High Middle Ages where it came
into being in various medieval monasteries as a substitute for the Divine Office for the lay monks and
devout lay persons who did not know how to read. Instead of the 150 psalms, they would pray 150
"Our Fathers" counting them on a ring of beads known as the crown or "corona". With the growth of
popularity of Marian devotion in the twelfth century, the "Psalter of the Blessed Virgin Mary"
developed now substituting 150 "Hail Marys" in place of the "Our Fathers."
The 150 "Hail Marys" were subsequently subdivided into 15 decades by the young Dominican friar,
Henry Kalkar (1328-1408), with each decade referring to an event in the life of Jesus and Mary. The
Dominican, Ananus de Rupe (1428-1478) further divided the episodes in the history of salvation into
the joyful, sorrowful and glorious mysteries. He also attributed the origin of the Rosary , then known
as the "Psalter of the Blessed Virgin" to St. Dominic and thus spurred the Dominican Order to make
the Apostolate of the Rosary their special concern. The Dominicans have, since then, promulgated
the Rosary with notable results.
The practice of dedicating the entire month of October to the Holy Rosary developed toward the end
of the last century. Pope Leo XIII ( papacy: 1878-1903 ) strongly promoted the increase of devotion
to the Blessed Mother by encouraging the constant use of the Rosary. Beginning on September 1,
1883, with SUPREMO APOSTOLATUS OFFICIO, he wrote a total of eleven encyclicals on the Rosary
, ending with DIUTURNI TEMPORIS in 1898. We are currently celebrating the centennial of these
papal encyclicals.
Many other popes have contributed to help increase devotion to the Rosary by their writings. In the
recent past, Pope Paul VI ( papacy: 1963-1978) devoted the last section of his Apostolic Exhortation
MARIALIS CULTUS to the Angelus and the Rosary (MC 40-55). In this document, he wrote that "the
Rosary retains an unaltered value and intact freshness." (MC, 41)
The Rosary is primarily a scriptural prayer. This can be summarized by the traditional phrase used
by Pope Pius XII (papacy: 1939-1958) that the Rosary is " a compendium of the entire Gospel" (AAS
38 [1946] p.419) . The Rosary draws its mysteries from the New Testament and is centered on the
great events of the Incarnation and Redemption.
Our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II has called the Rosary his favorite prayer, in which we meditate
with Mary upon the mysteries which she as a mother meditated on in her heart. (Lk. 2:19)
(Osservatore Romano, 44; 30 Oct. 1979)
In this month of October, let us consider this beautiful prayer of the Rosary as a means that we too
can use in order to draw closer to Jesus and Mary by meditating on the great mysteries of our
salvation.
