OCTOBER DEVOTION IS HERE: The Value of the Rosary

SAVE_20230929_050908

Dearest friends, please, remember that the OCTOBER DEVOTION commences on the 1st day of October (Please, know the TIME of the Devotion in your parish).

There is no doubt that the ROSARY is always at the centre of the October Devotion. But, unfortunately, some Catholics and Non-Catholics really think that the *ROSARY* is simply a repetition of words; and perhaps has no EFFICACY.

Now, can you help me list out the individual prayers that made up the ROSARY? Well, let me join you in listing out some of them:

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ1. In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ2. Come, O Holy Spirit…,
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ3. I Believe in God… (A proclamation of Faith).
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ4. Our Father… (The very prayer that Jesus himself taught the apostles and indeed all of us).
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ5. Hail Mary… (Drawn from the greetings God the Father sent to Mary through Angel Gabriel and the proclamation of Elizabeth).
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ6. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit…
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ7. O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of Your Mercy (A revealed prayer that intercedes for others which is in itself an act of LOVE), etc.

My dearest friends, in case you do not know, *the ROSARY is truly a COMPENDIUM of PRAYERS and the SUMMARY of the entire GOSPEL (i.e The mysteries of Jesus Christ, from Conception to Ascension).* I encourage you to always TREASURE this GIFT from Heaven โ€“ the *HOLY ROSARY.*

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸผRemember that once you have bought a NEW ROSARY, you have to take it to a Catholic Priest for him to BLESS it before you start using it. That is exactly when the ROSARY becomes a SACRAMENTAL and has spiritual powers.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸผNOTE: There is nothing like OCCULTIC Rosary because once a ROSARY is blessed by a Priest, God’s power makes it HOLY. Let me ask you, Is there any power that is superior than God’s power?).
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Again, do you still have and pray the ROSARY?

Remain blessed๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
