Since the 16th century, Catholic piety has assigned entire months to special devotions. Pope Leo XIII personally started the practice of devoting October to the Rosary devotion. In a letter of September 1, 1883, mindful of the Rosary’s power to strengthen faith and foster a life of virtue, he outlined the triumphs of the Rosary in past times and admonished the faithful to dedicate the month of October to the Blessed Virgin through the daily recitation of her Rosary in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, in order to obtain through her intercession the grace that God would console and defend His Church in her sufferings.
Pope Leo XIII in his 1889 encyclical, Quamquam pluries composed a prayer to Saint Joseph, —spouse of the Virgin Mary, foster father of Jesus, and patron saint of the universal Church. He asked that the prayer be added to the end of the rosary, especially during the month of October. You can Download the Full Booklet for the 31 days October Devotion below:
