The memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary is the 7 October and the month of October has traditionally been dedicated as the month of the Rosary. The Rosary is a beautiful prayer and could be referred to as a \u2018living\u2019 prayer form. Why? Because it continues to develop over time. The use of knotted rope to count prayers is an ancient practice and is even found in non-Christian religions. The Christian recitation of 150 prayers mirrored the monastic prayer of the Liturgy of the Hours in which monks prayed all 150 psalms each day. The structure of the Rosary as we know it today developed significantly from the 12th to the 14th centuries. The Fatima Prayer was added in the early 20th century and in 2002 Pope John Paull II added the Luminous Mysteries, a set of five reflections on the life of Jesus.<\/span>For the remainder of October pray the Rosary and be open to the graces of God in our world.<\/span><\/p>\n Students in Years 8 and 10 sat the Sydney Catholic Schools Religious Education Tests in Week 2.
