THE MONTH OF OCTOBER DEDICATED TO THE MOST HOLY ROSARY

St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus Feast Day October 1st

Saints experienced joys, sufferings, successes and hardships, just like us. 

Throughout St. Thérèse’s life, depression and scrupulosity were challenges for her. Thérèse also found it difficult to pray the rosary well.

Thérèse’s Struggle

“When alone, (I am ashamed to admit it) the recitation of the rosary is more difficult for me than the wearing of an instrument of penance. I feel I have said this so poorly! I force myself in vain to meditate on the mysteries of the rosary; I don’t succeed in fixing my mind on them.”

Thérèse chose to put her trust in the Blessed Mother.

“For a long time I was desolate about this lack of devotion that astonished me, for I love the Blessed Virgin so much that it should be easy for me to recite in her honor prayers which are so pleasing to her. Now I am less desolate; I think that the Queen of heaven, since she is my MOTHER, must see my good will and she is satisfied with it.”

Do not to be discouraged, but persevere and trust.

Like Thérèse, do not allow the things that challenge you to keep you from praying

Rediscover the power of praying the rosary.
