October 11, 2024, Feast of Divine Maternity of Mary, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary, Today, October 11, is the Memorial Day of St. John XXIII, pope, for five years until his earthly death in 1963. He was called “the good Pope” and was known for convening the Second Vatican Council. Sustained by a profound spirit of prayer, John XXIII was seen as a reflection of God's goodness. Today is also the day of the Divine Maternity of Mary, or the Motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a feast instituted by Pius XI in 1931. The faithful emphasize Mary’s divine maternity and her motherhood of all Christ’s Mystical Body members. The Pope himself singled out Mary as the foremost model for the dignity and sanctity of chaste married life and the religious education of youth. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!St. John XXIII, Pray for Us! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • ⁠October 11, 2024, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET
