“Our Lady of the Holy Rosary - Battle of Lepanto - Painting by Dino Carbetta” ...

The feast day of Our Lady of the Rosary stands as a testament to faith, unity, and divine intervention. It was established to honor the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Christian triumph over the Ottoman Turks at the Battle of Lepanto on that fateful day of October 7, 1571. In a world rife with uncertainty, Pope St. Pius V and devout Christians turned to the Rosary, also known as the Psalter of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as their spiritual anchor and weapon of choice. Lepanto, pivotal in history, witnessed a resounding victory for Christian forces, one that would go down in history as perhaps the most complete defeat ever inflicted upon the Ottoman Empire. The invocation "Help of Christians" found its place in the Litany of Loreto. A second triumph followed shortly after, on the Octave of the Assumption, prompting Pope Clement XI to decree the universal celebration of the Feast of the Rosary. "Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us." This feast is a radiant festival of gratitude, a heartfelt recognition of the countless blessings that have been poured upon Christendom through the Rosary, a gift from our beloved Queen, Mary. In our modern era, successive popes have echoed the call to pray the Rosary. This form of contemplative prayer, both mental and vocal, serves as a conduit for God's blessings upon His Church. It is a prayer deeply rooted in the Scriptures, guiding us to meditate on the salvific mysteries of Christ in union with Mary, who was intimately connected with her Son in His redemptive work. As we reflect upon the Battle of Lepanto and the enduring power of the Rosary, let us remember that it is not merely a historical event but a spiritual beacon, a testament to the unwavering faith of those who turned to Our Lady in their hour of need. It continues to inspire us today, reminding us of the profound connection between faith, prayer, and divine intervention.
