By Mary Lou Rosien
October brings us many Catholic Feast days and celebrations. One of my favorites is the celebration of the Holy Rosary. The Rosary is a uniquely Catholic Tradition.
When we meditate on the mysteries of the Rosary we are, in essence, studying the Gospel of Jesus’ life. The Joyful Mysteries focus on his birth and childhood. The Sorrowful Mysteries explore his crucifixion and death. The Glorious Mysteries look at his resurrection and gift of the Holy Spirit, and the Luminous Mysteries celebrate the Lord’s ministry on Earth. Even the youngest child can learn the story of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection by reciting the Rosary.
Other ways we can encourage the recitation of the Rosary with our students:
There is a wonderful Catholic expression, “In Christ, through Mary.” This means that drawing closer to Our Lady will always bring you closer to Christ. That is her mission, to help lead us to her Son. May you be blessed.
Mary Lou Rosien writes and prays the rosary from her home in North Chili, NY. She is the author of Managing Stress with the Help of Your Catholic Faith. (OSV Publishing)
