The Month of January is dedicated to the Holy Name of Jesus.

We are in the liturgical period of the Epiphanytide, and the Christmas Octave is over, just as the Twelve Days of Christmas is over too. Pope Leo XIV closed the fourth and final Holy Door on Epiphany - and it then marks the end of the Holy Year 2025. 

The new liturgical year started on the first of Advent, and the beauty with the Church and its traditions are that all is already set. We carry on, each day has its saints, and its liturgy.

It is now too late, but we truly hope that your Catholics priests exorcised and blessed the Holy Salt and Holy Water properly on January 5, which is the vigil of Epiphany- when salt and water should be exorcised and blessed.

(It can be exorcised and blessed at any time of the year but the exorcism of the Holy Salt is longer and more potent - which also goes with the "Epiphany" Water.) The Church has, most likely, removed this strong habit of exorcising the Holy Water on the Vigil of Epiphany due to its strength. It is stronger because it is linked to the Baptism of Christ and Wedding in Cana. The antiphon sung extols the fruits of the baptism of Our Lord and references the wedding feast at Cana.

A proper ceremony is a lengthy rite (about 45 minutes) that includes the Litany of the Saints and powerful prayers of exorcism. It involves a three-fold exorcism process: one for the salt and two for the water. The This is an important!

It has to be the longer procedure, and in Latin.

It is confusing with the Baptism of Christand the dates but to our understanding, the January 5 is the Baptism of Christ and the January 13 is the Octave of the Baptism of Christ and it is therefore, again, celebrated as a Baptism of Christ.

You cannot purchase any blessed water or salt as the transaction breaks the blessing.The transaction must occur before the blessings and picked up later if you cannot attend yourself.

We also hope that your Gold(the only time of the year), Myrrh, and Francincensewere exorcised and blessed on Epiphany. Chalkis also blessed on this day to bless your home. Once again, it is stronger due to the gifts of the three Magis (or 3 Kings - not 3 stargazers).

Candlemass is the final day of the season of Christmas .

(when all the candles are supposed to be blessed (preferable beeswax and absolutely not "electrical candles")

Candlemas is the last day that we sing the Marian hymn “Alma Redemptoris Mater” , a hymn that is used from the beginning of Advent through Feb. 2, and the close of the Christmas season.

Prayer In Reparation for Insults Offered to the Blessed Virgin Mary

------------------

We are called to pray and to defend our Faith, since our Confirmation, when we became Soldier of Christ. The Rosary is our only spiritual weapon. The Rosary is not only for defence, but also for attack - to send your prayers deep down into enemy end-zone: to keep the demons busy on their side, instead of hanging around on our turf.

As we currently have commenced the process of launching our Step-by-Step Rosary books as our ten year "R&D" work is completed, and we are now moving into the production and publishing mode - we have reached the conclusion that we need to 're-organize' our single-platform webpages into a more structured community platform. This will take some time, so bear with us and possible changes.

This Pray-Rosary.church website will in due time close and all content will be moved to our "database"website, the prayrosary.info.

For the person who likes to pray the Rosary in Latin, we have it under our Step-by-Step Rosary partner: The Commander Cross Rosary.

“For never will anyone who says his Rosary every day become a formal heretic or be led astray by the devil.

This is a statement that I would gladly sign with my blood.”

Twenty-fifth Rose,St. Louis de Montfort
