EL MES DEL ROSARIO

The Archdiocese of Valencia has shared a reflection on the importance of the Rosary for the life of the Church during the month of October. Maria José Cervera noted that while many towns maintain beautiful traditions to express devotion to the Virgin Mary, the Rosary serves as a vital tool for families to live their faith.

Cervera stated that families face difficulties in passing on the faith to children, as being born into a Christian family no longer guarantees a continuous religious life. She suggested that while parents often encourage religious participation in parishes, schools, or youth groups, they may have abandoned prayer within the home. According to Cervera, praying the Rosary together helps keep families united and assists in transmitting the faith from one generation to the next.
