October is the Month of the Rosary

“Never will anyone who says his Rosary every day be led astray. This is a statement that I would gladly sign with my blood.” --Saint Louis de Montfort

“You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.” --Our Lady to Blessed Alan de la Roche

“Give me an army saying the Rosary and I will conquer the world.” --Pope Blessed Pius IX

“When the Holy Rosary is said well, it gives Jesus and Mary more glory and is more meritorious than any other prayer.” --Saint Louis de Montfort

“One day, through the Rosary and the Scapular, Our Lady will save the world.” --Saint Dominic

“You must know that when you ‘hail’ Mary, she immediately greets you! Don’t think that she is one of those rude women of whom there are so many—on the contrary, she is utterly courteous and pleasant. If you greet her, she will answer you right away and converse with you!” --Saint Bernardine of Siena

“Recite your Rosary with faith, with humility, with confidence, and with perseverance.” --Saint Louis de Montfort

“The Rosary is the most beautiful and the most rich in graces of all prayers; it is the prayer that touches most the Heart of the Mother of God…and if you wish peace to reign in your homes, recite the family Rosary.” --Pope Saint Pius X

The purpose of the Chaplet of the Holy Face is to honor the Five Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and to ask of God the triumph of His holy Church. The meditations focus on the five senses, situated principally in the Holy Face, and pay reparative homage for all the sufferings Our Lord endured in His Holy Face through these senses.
On the Crucifix, make the sign of the cross and pray:
O God, come to my aid. O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

“Arise, O Lord, and let Your enemies be scattered, and let all who hate You flee before Your Face!”
Mediation: Think about the scourging at the pillar, the crowning with thorns, the carrying of the cross, the nailing to the cross and how the hands of Christ which brought comfort and healing through His touch were pierced for our sins.
2^nd large bead, to honor the sense of HEARING, pray:
 “My Jesus, mercy!” and “Glory Be..”

On each of the six beads in the fifth set, pray: 
“Arise, O Lord, and let Your enemies be scattered, and let all who hate You flee before Your Face!”
Meditation: Reflect on how our Lord created delectable flavors for our foods and how, on the cross, He was given sour wine to drink, which mingled with the taste in His mouth of His own blood.
6^th large bead pray:
“My Jesus, mercy!” and “Glory Be..”
Final 3 beads, in honor of Our Lord’s public life, pray: 
“Arise, O Lord, and let Your enemies be scattered, and let all who hate You flee before Your Face!”

"Glory Be..." in honor of the seven words of Jesus from the cross and
the seven dolors of the Immaculate Virgin

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, filled with Infinite Love; broken by our ingratitude and pierced by our sins; yet loving us still; accept the consecration we make to You of all that we are and all that we have. Take every faculty of our souls and bodies, only day by day draw us nearer and nearer to Your Sacred Heart; and there as we shall hear the lesson, teach us Your Holy Way. Amen.
