A Solemn Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Most Holy Virgin Mary, tender Mother of men, to fulfill the desires of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the request of the Vicar of Your Son on earth, we consecrate ourselves and our families to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, O Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and we recommend to You, all the people of our country and all the world. Please accept our consecration, dearest Mother, and use us as You wish to accomplish Your designs in the world. O Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and Queen of the World, rule over us, together with the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, Our King. Save us from the spreading flood of modern paganism; kindle in our hearts and homes the love of purity, the practice of a virtuous life, an ardent zeal for souls, and a desire to pray the Rosary more faithfully. We come with confidence to You, O Throne of Grace and Mother of Fair Love. Inflame us with the same Divine Fire which has inflamed Your own Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart. Make our hearts and homes Your shrine, and through us, make the Heart of Jesus, together with your rule, triumph in every heart and home. Amen. --Venerable Pope Pius XII |

I can't think of a better time for a renewal of the Solemn Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on October 1st (First Saturday) and then Respect Life Sunday on October 2nd.
One woman campaign...

According to the Liturgical Ordo published by the FSSP, Sunday, October 2nd is also the External Solemnity of Our Lady of the Rosary.

What is meant by an "External Solemnity?"

Well, I can't give an official definition, but here is my understanding. The feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is October 7th. An external solemnity means the Mass of that feast is said on a Sunday immediately before or after the feast day.

It may be because October 7 is First Friday this year.

It may be because October 7 is First Friday this year. I don't think First Friday has anything to do with it. Earlier this year, May 8th was the External Solemnity of the Ascension; May 29th was the External Solemnity of Corpus Christi; and July 3rd was the External Solemnity of Ss. Peter and Paul - the feasts of the Ascension and Corpus Christi being on Thursday and Ss. Peter and Paul on Wednesday.
I have pinged jrny who is more knowledgable on this sort of thing than I am.

I think there are two points to make here:
1.) The first Sunday of October has, by special indult in the 1962 Missale Romanum itself, been designated as "Rosary Sunday". This designation dates back a while (not sure exactly how long) before V2. A maximum of two Masses of the Feast are allowed to be celebrated on the Sunday (one Low Mass & one High Mass), as is the case with any other external solemnity. One interesting case about this External Solemnity is that it is the only Feast ranked Second Class to have such a privilege; all other External Solemnities being of First Class Feasts.
2.) This year, since October 7th. is also on First Friday, the Votive Mass of the Sacred is not allowed to be said that day. Regardless of exercising the right of External Solemnity, the Feast always retains its Feast Day on its actual Day. Because the Holy Rosary is ranked second class and the Votive Mass of the Sacred Heart is ranked third class, the Votive Mass is disallowed, although a Commemoration of the latter can be done.
Point worth reiterating...External Solemnities do not transfer the observance of a Feast from its actual day. Such a concept no longer exists in the Novus Ordo, whereby Feasts are completely transfered to the nearest Sunday. But in the Tridentine Rite, a "Mass of the Feast" may be said on the Sunday per specific guidelines, while the actual Feast (Masses and Office) is still observed on its own day.
