Today, October 5:


Today is the Feast of St Faustina Kowalska.
She died on October 5, 1938.

From the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception (Divine Mercy Shrine):

Faustina: Champion of the Rosary

Did you know that St. Faustina had a great devotion to praying the Rosary? Not only that, but after leaving this earthly life on Oct. 5, 1938, St. Faustina's funeral was held on Oct. 7, 1938 - the First Friday of that month and the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.

Saint Faustina had made it a practice in her religious life to pray five decades of the Rosary every Saturday with her arms outstretched, like Jesus on the Cross (see Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, 246). She also often prayed the Rosary for the dying, as her Guardian Angel had prompted her. She wrote in her Diary, "When I went to the garden one afternoon, my Guardian Angel said to me, 'Pray for the dying.' And so I began at once to pray the Rosary with the gardeners for the dying. After the Rosary, we said various prayers for the dying" (314).

Saint Faustina also knew that the Rosary was her spiritual weapon. She wrote in her Diary:
... towards evening I felt very exhausted and could not make my Holy Hour, so I asked Mother Superior to allow me to go to bed early. I fell asleep as soon as I lay down, but at about eleven o'clock Satan shook my bed. I awoke instantly, and I started to pray peacefully to my Guardian Angel. Then I saw the souls who were doing penance in purgatory. They appeared like shadows, and among them I saw many demons. One of these tried to vex me; taking the form of a cat, he kept throwing himself onto my bed and on my feet, and he was quite heavy, as if [weighing] a ton. I kept praying the Rosary all the while, and toward dawn these beings vanished, and I was able to get some sleep. When I entered the chapel in the morning I heard a voice in my soul, "You are united to Me; fear nothing. But know, my child, that Satan hates you; he hates every soul, but he burns with a particular hatred for you, because you have snatched so many souls from his dominion (412).

To the soul who trusts in Jesus, He says, "You are united to Me; fear nothing."

If Satan hates you, it is not a bad thing - rather, it is a very good thing, because it means you are serving the Lord and doing His will. There is no reason to fear Satan hating you, though, as Jesus told St. Faustina. Turn with trust to Jesus and Mary. Turn to them by praying the Rosary and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for souls, like children turning to their parents and hiding in their loving arms.

Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, pray for us!
St Faustina, pray for us!
HOLY MASS IN HONOR OF OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY

On Wednesday, October 7, 2020

Two Masses
  • 12 Noon
  • 8:00 PM (with live music)
Both in Lower Church
Both Masses will be live-streamed on Youtube

( Note: No Prayer Meeting this Wednesday )

In preparation for the 8pm Mass, join us at our last day of the 54 Day Rosary Novena at 7pm via conference call. (See below)

Below is the Youtube link for the 8pm Memorial Mass in honor of our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary this Wednesday:
The Feast of our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary is about the miraculous victory of the Rosary against the enemy.

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 October 7, 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.”
