The month of October each year is dedicated to the Rosary. Pope Benedict explained in a 2007 Angelus homily: “The Rosary is a means given by the Virgin to contemplate Jesus and, in meditating on his life, to love him and follow him ever more faithfully.” In this month of October, let us consider the beautiful prayer of the Rosary as a means that we too can use to draw closer to God by meditating on the great mysteries of our salvation.
