"Fall"-ing Again...

October is a great month. For some, it is arguably the best month of the year. I don't know if I would go that far, but the fact that it lands in the heart of the Fall season certainly doesn't hurt.

Weather in the 60s (or 50s)...
Pumpkin flavors around every turn (and on every menu)...
Brilliantly colored leaves (of all shapes and sizes)...
Football season in full swing (and basketball starting soon)...
Cozy and warm sweaters (recently cleaned from being stored for months)...

And, as a Catholic, there's one more thing that pushes October over the edge: It's the month of the Rosary. (Yay, Mary!)

There's something powerful in praying the Rosary together. For example, today, our students raised their 21 voices up in "Hail Mary"s & "Our Father"s, while following along with an online version (which can be found here), and it was a beautiful sound. Peaceful, yet strong.

Let us remember, especially during this month of October, to lift our prayers and hearts to Mary, our mother and intercessor. What a beautiful Catholic tradition we have!
