Wednesday General Audience yesterday<\/a>, Pope Leo XIV urged the Church to unite in praying for world peace by praying a daily Rosary throughout the month of October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cI invite everyone, each day of the coming month, to pray the Rosary for peace\u2014 personally, in the family, and in community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
October is devoted to the Rosary in part because the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary \u2014 also known as Our Lady of Victories \u2014 falls on October 7. This feast was established by Pope St. Pius V in 1571, following a widespread call to pray the Rosary that preceded what Pius V considered a miraculous victory at the Battle of Lepanto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Church’s tradition of dedicating October to the Holy Rosary became more widespread several hundred years later, largely due to Pope Leo XIII, who was a passionate advocate for this form of prayer. He issued eleven encyclicals over the course of 5 years emphasizing the importance of the Rosary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
