By Sarah Metts, Catholic Exchange - This decisive victory was attributed to Our Lady’s intercession, specifically through the Rosary. St. Pius V, knowing that the Holy League was no match for the undefeated Ottoman forces, asked all of Europe to pray the Rosary for a Christian victory at Lepanto. The anniversary of the battle was first celebrated as the feast of “Our Lady of Victory,” but later the feast, celebrated on October 7, was named the feast of “Our Lady of the Rosary.”

By Deacon Michael Bickerstaff, Integrated Catholic Life - This feast day of the Church (October 7) finds its origins in the defeat of the Turkish fleet by Christian naval forces at Lepanto on October 7, 1571. The victory was attributed by Pope Pius V to Mary’s intercession as people all across Europe prayed the Rosary on that day for victory. As a result, he established the Feast of Our Lady of Victory in thanksgiving to God.

By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture - Educate your children at home, if you cannot find another school. Find other parents who share your concerns and will match your commitment, and start your own school. Scrimp and save and do your best; it will not be perfect, but it will be better for your children than the indoctrination program that now confronts them... Don’t wait for the next outrage. Don’t wait until your children are seriously hurt. Get them out of the public schools. Now.
