* September 1st – Leo XIII dedicates October to the Rosary (1883)  * "The Blessed Virgin has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary" --- An initiative of the Mary of Nazareth Association  September 1st – Leo XIII dedicates October to the Rosary (1883)  "The Blessed Virgin has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary" Many think that the Rosary is essentially a weapon for the spiritual realm. This is a serious mistake. The Rosary is also an effective weapon to solve temporal problems of any kind, especially problems of political or military nature. Sister Lucia (visionary of Our Lady of Fatima) confided to Father Fuentes on December 26, 1957: "The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families... that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary." History gives us many examples of military or political victories won by the Rosary. They were won against various opponents: the Cathars, Islam, the Protestants and the Communists.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death. Amen.
