Pope Francis on October 7, 2018 – the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary – renewed his call for daily praying of the Rosary during October. His appeal came after praying the noonday Angelus with some 25,000 pilgrims in St. Peter’s Square.
«Today, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, a special greeting goes to the faithful gathered at the Shrine of Pompeii for the traditional prayer, presided over on this occasion by Cardinal Mario Zenari, Apostolic Nuncio in Syria. I renew the invitation to pray the Rosary every day of the month of October, ending with the antiphon ‘Under your protection’ and the Prayer of Saint Michael the Archangel, to reject the attacks of the devil, who wants to divide the Church.»
