Launching of the Month of the Holy Rosary

(Joyful Mystery)

*TEACHER DONNA*
October is dedicated as the Month of the Rosary because we celebrate the memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary each
year on October 7. In the 16th century, the Islamic Ottoman Empire presented a serious military threat to western Europe
and sent a fleet of ships to attack Christian defenses in southern Europe. Pope Pius V recognized the grave danger and
organized a fleet called the Holy League to confront the navy of the Ottoman Turks.
On October 7, 1571, the two navies engaged in a pivotal battle that would determine who controlled maritime traffic
in the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Aegean seas. The fate of Western Europe depended upon the success of Christians in
this navy battle, which involved more than 400 warships (it was the largest naval battle in Western history for centuries).
Pius V knew he needed more than just military strength to defend Christian Europe, so he asked that all the faithful
pray the rosary, requesting the intercession of the Blessed Mother. At the end of the Battle of Lepanto, the Holy League
was victorious and the maritime expansion of the Ottoman Empire was permanently prevented.
The next year, Pius V established a feast on October 7 in honor of the Blessed Mother, originally called Our Lady of
Victory. After a few centuries, the name was changed to Our Lady of the Rosary to more clearly recognize that prayer was
the greatest power at work that day on the seas.
Devotion to the rosary was especially promoted in the 13th century by St. Dominic and in the 16th century by St.
Peter Canisius (who, according to tradition, added the final verse to the Hail Mary, in which we pray, “Holy Mary, Mother
of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death” — printed officially in the Catechism of the Council of
Trent in 1566; the first two verses of the Hail Mary are adapted from Luke 1:28 and 1:42).
The origins of the rosary are complex. The use of knotted ropes to count prayers or scriptural verses (including the
Lord’s Prayer and the Jesus Prayer) is an ancient practice and is even found in non-Christian cultures. Most probably, the
Christian recitation of 150 such prayers were intended to mirror the monastic prayer of the Liturgy of the Hours in which
monks prayed all 150 psalms each day.
The structure of the rosary as we know it today developed significantly from the 12th to the 14th centuries as the
larger collection of 150 prayers was further divided into groups of 50 and separated by biblical verses or themes (now
referred to as mysteries). It is these mysteries, like a grouping of common roses in a garden, that gave the name  rosary to
this prayer form.
As we launch the Month of the Holy Rosary, let us pray for the following intentions, for Pope Francis’ intentions, for
peace on earth, unity of each and every one, love for one another, for healing and protection against the COVID-19, and
for all our hearts desire.
*Let us start our celebration by crowning and offering flowers to our Holy Mother, while singing our opening song*

Aba Ginoong Maria

(Sing until the crowning and offering is finished)

Aba ginoong maria Aba ginoong maria

Napupuno ka ng grasya Napupuno ka ng grasya
Ang panginoon ay sumasaiyo Ang panginoon ay sumasaiyo
Bukod kang pinagpala sa babaeng lahat Bukod kang pinagpala sa babaeng lahat
At pinagpala naman At pinagpala naman
Ang 'yong anak na si Hesus Ang 'yong anak na si Hesus
Santa maria ina ng diyos Santa maria ina ng diyos
Ipanalangin mo Ipanalangin mo
Kaming makasalanan Kaming makasalanan
Ngayon at kung kami mamamatay Ngayon at kung kami mamamatay
Amen Amen

(After crowning and floral offering, proceed with the sign of the cross)
*In the name of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit, Amen*

(Christian Alviar) The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was
crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven and is
seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life
everlasting. Amen.

Awit sa Ina ng Santo Rosaryo
(sing until the end)

Minsan ang buhay ay isang awit ng galak
At mayroong liwanag na tatanglaw sa 'ting pagyapak
Minsan ang buhay ay isang awit ng luha
At s'yang papawi nito ay ang pag-asa ng umaga
At kahit anong tindi ng unos, at kahit anong tindi ng
dilim
May isang inang nagmamatiyag, nagmamahal sa 'tin
Awit n'ya'y pag-ibig ng Diyos, tawag n'ya'y magbalik-
loob
Turo n'ya'y buhay na ang Diyos lamang sa ati'y
nagkaloob
Oh, Inang mahal, narito kami't awit-awit ang Ave Maria
At dalangin ng bawat pamilya'y kapayapaa't pagkakaisa
Ang rosaryo mong hawak namin at awit-awit ang Ave
Maria
Puspos ka ng diwang banal, dinggin ang aming payak na
dasal
Ihatid mo kami sa langit ng Amang nagmamahal
Oh, Inang mahal, narito kami't awit-awit ang Ave Maria
Sa anak Mong si Hesus, puso namin ay ihahandog
Ang rosaryo mong hawak namin at awit-awit ang Ave
Maria
Puspos ka ng diwang banal, dinggin ang aming payak na
dasal
Ihatid mo kami sa langit ng Amang nagmamahal
