October, Month of the Rosary

Say the Holy Rosary. Blessed be that monotony of Hail Marys which purifies the monotony of our sins!    ~ St. Josemaria Escriva

Complaints about the Rosary are often related to the monotony of repeating the prayers. St. Josemaria turns what can seem a negative about praying the Rosary into a brilliant positive. Have you ever had a fault that you wanted to change but it seemed no matter how hard you tried you fell into sin? If you have, then you can relate. Every day we must commit ourselves to rise above temptation and battle our desires. Sinning and getting back up can be monotonous, however we are not alone. The Rosary should be our aid to fighting sin. Persevering in saying the Rosary will lead the cycle of sin to be broken.
