March 26, 2024, Tuesday of the Holy Week, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary, In the Holy Land, Christians participated in a stunning procession from Bethphage to Jerusalem this Palm Sunday, Catholic News Agency reported. The route followed the same path that Jesus took when He entered Jerusalem and was acclaimed by the crowd holding palms and olive branches. About 3,000 faithful ascended the Mount of Olives, passed by Gethsemane, where Jesus experienced the most painful hours of his passion. Due to the ongoing war, there were fewer pilgrims than usual. Those present responded with closeness in prayer, praise to the Lord, and a message of joy — the joy of being Christians. “We have many problems, but we are truly happy that Jesus is our Lord. He is our joy and our strength,” said the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, who led the procession. “Let us renew our commitment to follow Jesus and let us not be afraid! Jesus on the cross is the victory over the world, not the victory of arms, but that of love.” The procession was preceded by the solemn Palm Sunday liturgy at the Holy Sepulcher, presided over by Pizzaballa. The faithful waved palm branches and chanted “Hosanna,” circling the edicule of the Holy Sepulcher —the small shrine that houses the tomb of Jesus Christ—three times to symbolize the three days Jesus spent in the tomb.  Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!

Friends of the Rosary, Yesterday, speaking in St. Peter’s Square, Pope Francis invited the crowd to follow in Jesus’ footsteps as He entered Jerusalem At the end of Palm Sunday Mass, the Pope said: With the whole Church of Christ we herald the celebration of the Holy Week of our Lord’s paschal mystery, that is, his passion and resurrection. We pray with confidence, never getting discouraged by looking for results. We trust in the Lord; He never fails. He is like that. God will answer your prayers! Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You!

March 24, 2024, Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion, Holy Rosary (Glorious Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary: Today, March 24th, is Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion and the beginning of Holy Week. It’s the completion of the Paschal Mystery of the Passion and Resurrection. For five weeks of Lent, we have been preparing to celebrate our Lord’s paschal mystery by prayer, works of charity, and self-sacrifice. Today we commemorate this solemn celebration in union with the whole Catholic Church. Christ entered in triumph into his own city of Jerusalem to complete his work as our Messiah: to suffer, to die, and to rise again. As the faithful, we remember and dramatize Christ’s triumphal entrance into Jerusalem on a donkey. A huge crowd assembled, put their cloaks or branches on the ground, and waved palm branches, acclaiming Christ as the King of Israel, the Son of David. We now joyfully acclaim by holding branches of palm trees Jesus our Messiah and King and sing as the priest enters the church. We cry,  Jesus the Messiah was, and is, the sign of contradiction, acclaimed by some and reviled by others. He was sent by the Father into this world to wrest us from sin and the power of darkness. By the reading today in mass of the Passion at the Gospel, we remain united with him in his suffering on the cross, may we share his resurrection and new life. May we reach the happiness of the new and everlasting Jerusalem one day. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary! Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will! • ⁠MARCH 24, 2024, TODAY’S ROSARY ON YOUTUBE | DAILY BROADCAST AT 7:30 PM ET https://youtu.be/8vOHZmAX59A

March 22, 2024, Friday of the Fifth Week of Lent, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary: Today, one week before Good Friday, we see in the Gospel (Jn 10:31-42) how hatred against Christ escalated in those final days of the Redeemer of the World. Fridays of Lent have a penitential quality. The Stations of the Cross, prayed in many parishes today, allow us to love and treasure the Holy Cross of Jesus. We have to be one in spirit with Him. In our crucifixion with Christ we find salvation. For Christ and with Christ, we suffer freely and willingly the unpleasant things that occurs to us. Fleeing from the Cross instead of holding it dear shouldn’t be our answer. We welcome the Cross as Our Savior did. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary! Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will! If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts. • MARCH 22, 2024, TODAY’S ROSARY ON YOUTUBE | DAILY BROADCAST AT 7:30 PM ET https://youtu.be/YYgQj5A89Pk

Friends of the Rosary: Christ Jesus' message is crystal clear, as we read today (Jn 8:51-59 https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/8?51): "AMEN, AMEN, I SAY TO YOU, WHOEVER KEEPS MY WORD WILL NEVER SEE DEATH." But the prideful Jews of that time rejected His divinity and opted to offend the Lord. Even they picked up stones to throw at Him. Jesus answered, "IF I GLORIFY MYSELF, MY GLORY IS WORTH NOTHING; BUT IT IS MY FATHER WHO GLORIFIES ME, OF WHOM YOU SAY, ‘HE IS OUR GOD.’ YOU DO NOT KNOW HIM, BUT I KNOW HIM." "AMEN, AMEN, I SAY TO YOU, BEFORE ABRAHAM CAME TO BE, I AM." Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary! Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will! If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Friends of the Rosary: In today’s Gospel (Jn 8:31-42 https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/8?31), we read: "Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him, "IF YOU REMAIN IN MY WORD, YOU WILL TRULY BE MY DISCIPLES, AND YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE." They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How can you say, 'You will become free'?" Jesus answered them, "AMEN, AMEN, I SAY TO YOU, EVERYONE WHO COMMITS SIN IS A SLAVE OF SIN.” The Scribes and Pharisees of that time were trying to kill the Author of Life, as His word had no room among them. Their arrogance and lack of faith made them children of the Evil One.  Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! St. Joseph, Pray for Us! To Jesus through Mary!

March 19, 2024, Solemnity of St. Joseph, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary: Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of St. Joseph, the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the foster father of Jesus. He is the patron and protector of the Universal Church. He is also invoked as the patron of the dying because Jesus and Mary were at his death-bed and the patron of fathers, among many other causes. And that’s why today is Father’s Day. St. Joseph was an ordinary manual laborer although descended from the royal house of David. In the designs of Providence, he was destined to become the spouse of the Mother of God. He faithfully fulfilled God’s high trust in protecting and guarding the greatest earthly treasures, Jesus and Mary. Joseph was the trustworthy witness of the Messiah’s virgin birth. After this, he modestly retires into the background of holy Scripture. His important mission in God’s plan of salvation was “to legally insert Jesus Christ into the line of David from whom, according to the prophets, the Messiah would be born, and to act as his father and guardian”, according to the Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy. Most of our information about St. Joseph comes from the opening two chapters of St. Matthew’s Gospel. No words of his are recorded in the Gospels; he was the “silent” man. St. Joseph was probably born in Bethlehem and probably passed away in Nazareth, probably before the beginning of Christ’s public life. Today is the only Solemnity celebrated in the 2024 Lenten season since Easter is so early this year and the Solemnity of the Annunciation is transferred to the Second Week of Easter. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! St. Joseph, Pray for Us! To Jesus through Mary!

March 18, 2024, Monday of the Fifth Week of Lent, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary: This Monday, March 18th we begin the fifth and final full week of Lent. Day after day, the liturgical readings tell of the lowering storm clouds that will break open next week. And today’s main reading in the Gospel (John 8:1-11) features the woman caught in adultery. The scribes and Pharisees accuse and bring her to Jesus. Our Lord responds: "LET THE ONE AMONG YOU WHO IS WITHOUT SIN BE THE FIRST TO THROW A STONE AT HER." And tells the woman: "GO, AND FROM NOW ON DO NOT SIN ANYMORE." In this biblical passage, we see divine mercy in action. It’s the fruit of forgiveness offered and accepted. God loves sinners and rejects sin — because sin destroys and poisons our eternal souls. Every sin is adultery to God — and is pardonable by Christ. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! St. Patrick, Pray for Us! To Jesus through Mary! Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will! • ⁠MARCH 18, 2024, TODAY’S ROSARY ON YOUTUBE | DAILY BROADCAST AT 7:30 PM ET https://youtu.be/s2yF4V8BOQ4

March 17, 2024, Fifth Sunday of Lent and St. Patrick, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary: Previously called "Passion Sunday," this Fifth Sunday of Lent marks the beginning of Passiontide — the last two weeks of Lent. It commemorates the suffering of Christ (Latin passio = “suffering”). It's the final Sunday of Lent before the beginning of Holy Week. The Catholic Church follows the practice of covering crosses and sacred images throughout the temples. Crosses remain covered until the beginning of the Easter Vigil. The Gospel's main reading (Jn 12:20-33) invites us to reflect upon what it means to follow Christ. The Lord said: "WHOEVER LOVES HIS LIFE LOSES IT, AND WHOEVER HATES HIS LIFE IN THIS WORLD WILL PRESERVE IT FOR ETERNAL LIFE. WHOEVER SERVES ME MUST FOLLOW ME,  AND WHERE I AM, THERE ALSO WILL MY SERVANT BE. THE FATHER WILL HONOR WHOEVER SERVES ME." Also, He comments on the type of death He would suffer: "NOW IS THE TIME OF JUDGMENT ON THIS WORLD;  NOW THE RULER OF THIS WORLD WILL BE DRIVEN OUT. AND WHEN I AM LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH,  I WILL DRAW EVERYONE TO MYSELF.” The Optional Memorial of St. Patrick, which is ordinarily celebrated today, is superseded by the Sunday liturgy. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! St. Patrick, Pray for Us! To Jesus through Mary! Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will!

March 15, 2024, Friday of the Fourth Week of Lent, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary: Friends of the Rosary: In today’s Gospel (Jn 7:1-2, 10, 25-30), we see how the Jews were trying to kill Our Lord as He moved in Galilee nearing the end of His public life. So Christ Jesus continued to teach to large crowds who were coming to hear Him. The admiration of the people intensified the hatred of the priests, openly seeking the death of the Messiah. Our Lord was spending His days in teaching and His nights in prayer. Does our conduct resemble that of Christ? In difficult circumstances, when we are unjustly accused criticized, or condemned, let’s calmly continue our work and recourse to God in prayer. Let’s leave our reputation in the hands of Christ.

March 14, 2024, Thursday of the Fourth Week of Lent, Holy Rosary (Luminous Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary: The mercy of God is infinite, beyond our comprehension. However, stating that everyone, no matter their deeds, will enter the glory of Heaven seems contrary to the words of Jesus. Yesterday, in the Gospel’s main reading (Jn 5:17-30), the Son of God said: "AMEN, AMEN, I SAY TO YOU, WHOEVER HEARS MY WORD AND BELIEVES IN THE ONE WHO SENT ME HAS ETERNAL LIFE AND WILL NOT COME TO CONDEMNATION, BUT HAS PASSED FROM DEATH TO LIFE." The message seems to be clear: Those "who have done good deeds" will go to the "resurrection of life" and those "who have done wicked deeds" to the "resurrection of condemnation." Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary! Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will! • ⁠MARCH 14, 2024, TODAY’S ROSARY ON YOUTUBE | DAILY BROADCAST AT 7:30 PM ET https://youtu.be/FMenLHFz8SI

March 11, 2024, Monday of Fourth Week of Lent, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary: The faithful, who see their lives increasingly perfected by the grace of God, find it incomprehensible why many among us, especially friends and family members, prefer to stay attached to sin and darkness. The Holy Spirit explained yesterday’s Gospel reading (John 3:14-21).” “AND THIS IS THE VERDICT, THAT THE LIGHT CAME INTO THE WORLD,  BUT PEOPLE PREFERRED DARKNESS TO LIGHT, BECAUSE THEIR WORKS WERE EVIL. FOR EVERYONE WHO DOES WICKED THINGS HATES THE LIGHT  AND DOES NOT COME TOWARD THE LIGHT,  SO THAT HIS WORKS MIGHT NOT BE EXPOSED. BUT WHOEVER LIVES THE TRUTH COMES TO THE LIGHT, SO THAT HIS WORKS MAY BE CLEARLY SEEN AS DONE IN GOD.” Our sinful nature, stemming from the original sin of our ancestors Adam and Eve, blinds us. Our fallen world seeks to keep us in darkness. The Lord knows this—He knows our souls—and because of His great love for us, He sends us light in abundance. God, who is rich in mercy, saves us by the grace of His faith, which is a gift from Him. As we live in Christ, we belong to the Light. We never engage with darkness. We only pray for those who, doing wicked things, hate the light. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary!

Laetare is a Latin word that means Today's Gospel (John 3:14-21) describes the reason for our joy: God's great love for us has been revealed in Jesus. Through his Passion, Death, and Resurrection, Christ has reconciled us with God and one another. "FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON,  SO THAT EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM MIGHT NOT PERISH  BUT MIGHT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. FOR GOD DID NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD,  BUT THAT THE WORLD MIGHT BE SAVED THROUGH HIM. WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE CONDEMNED,  BUT WHOEVER DOES NOT BELIEVE HAS ALREADY BEEN CONDEMNED,  BECAUSE HE HAS NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF THE ONLY SON OF GOD. AND THIS IS THE VERDICT, THAT THE LIGHT CAME INTO THE WORLD,  BUT PEOPLE PREFERRED DARKNESS TO LIGHT, BECAUSE THEIR WORKS WERE EVIL. FOR EVERYONE WHO DOES WICKED THINGS HATES THE LIGHT AND DOES NOT COME TOWARD THE LIGHT,  SO THAT HIS WORKS MIGHT NOT BE EXPOSED.

The Son of God Jesus denounced the hypocrisy of the instructional religion of that time, but He didn’t call for its dismantling. explained Bishop Barron. Many evangelicals want Jesus without the Universal Church. Also, followers of the New Age spirituality reject any religion. The Catholic Church is holy and sinner at the same time. However, this universal institution with its lights and shadows is the continuation of the preaching and faithful love of Christ. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary!

By the sacrifice of penance, the Lord sends us abundant grace to purify us.  Benedict XVI said that Lent disciplines us, so we can be centered on the Paschal Mystery and change our daily lives.

The Son of God Jesus said to them: "THIS GENERATION IS AN EVIL GENERATION; IT SEEKS A SIGN, BUT NO SIGN WILL BE GIVEN IT, EXCEPT THE SIGN OF JONAH." The sign of Jonah was the victory of his death and Resurrection. The monumental, timeless demonstration was His Resurrection, the central mystery in our lives.

For the Jews, Greeks, and Gentiles, Christ did not fit their preconceived ideas of the Messiah. They all looked to philosophy or human wisdom for the solution of man’s problems. Our Lord’s message of faithfulness and merciful love was too radical for them. The crucified and the resurrected Jesus was a stumbling block to their foolishness, as St. Paul described.

Friends of the Rosary: The Catholic Church begins today the second phase of the Forty Days of Lent with the Gospel passage of the long dialogue of Jesus and the Samaritan woman from He asks for a drink of water (Jn 4:13-16). Jesus said to her, "EVERYONE WHO DRINKS THIS WATER WILL BE THIRSTY AGAIN, BUT WHOEVER DRINKS THE WATER I SHALL GIVE WILL NEVER THIRST; THE WATER I SHALL GIVE WILL BECOME IN HIM A SPRING OF WATER WELLING UP TO ETERNAL LIFE." The woman said to him, "SIR, GIVE ME THIS WATER, SO THAT I MAY NOT BE THIRSTY OR HAVE TO KEEP COMING HERE TO DRAW WATER." Later in John 7: 37-39 Jesus once again speaks of living water, saying, "LET ANYONE WHO IS THIRSTY COME TO ME AND DRINK. WHOEVER BELIEVES IN ME, AS SCRIPTURE HAS SAID, RIVERS OF LIVING WATER WILL FLOW FROM WITHIN THEM." By this, he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive.

Friends of the Rosary: The Forty Days of Lent are also as period of education and formation for adults who have not yet been baptized. They are being prepared to receive Baptism, Confirmation, and the Holy Eucharist, the three sacraments of Christian initiation, at the Easter Vigil. But the baptismal character of Lent is not only for catechumens. All of the faithful are reminded that the Baptism is for the forgiveness of sins. All the baptized require liberation from sin: from the bad habits that enslave us and impede our friendship with Christ. The Church is always in need of conversion. During Lent, all the baptized undergo a “second baptism,” to meet once again the mysteries of God’s mercy and love. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary!

Friends of the Rosary: Today, we read in the Gospel the story told by Jesus to the Pharisees of a poor man named Lazarus covered with sores who sat outside the door of a rich man dressed finely and dining sumptuously each day. When Lazarus died, he was carried away by angels to and comforted there. The rich man also died and was buried, and carried to the netherworld, where he was in torment. From the flames of Hell, the rich man asked Abraham to warn his earthly five brothers what would await them if they didn't repent. Abraham replied, "IF THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO MOSES AND THE PROPHETS, NEITHER WILL THEY BE PERSUADED IF SOMEONE SHOULD RISE FROM THE DEAD." Jesus doesn’t say anything about who was the rich man. What matters is that he didn’t care. Lazarus wasn’t his problem to address. He lost salvation not because of anything he did, or his material richness, but because of what he omitted doing. Because of his indifference and unwillingness to take action. As Christians, we are — or should be — committed to caring and helping those who are poor and deserve our merciful love. Ave Maria!

Friends of the Rosary: In today’s reading (Mt 20:17-28), Christ Jesus anticipates to the Twelve disciples His Sorrowful Passion: "BEHOLD, WE ARE GOING UP TO JERUSALEM, AND THE SON OF MAN WILL BE HANDED OVER TO THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE SCRIBES, AND THEY WILL CONDEMN HIM TO DEATH, AND HAND HIM OVER TO THE GENTILES TO BE MOCKED AND SCOURGED AND CRUCIFIED, AND HE WILL BE RAISED ON THE THIRD DAY." He also explains the meaning of His earthly dwelling: "WHOEVER WISHES TO BE GREAT AMONG YOU SHALL BE YOUR SERVANT; WHOEVER WISHES TO BE FIRST AMONG YOU SHALL BE YOUR SLAVE. JUST SO, THE SON OF MAN DID NOT COME TO BE SERVED BUT TO SERVE AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE AS A RANSOM FOR MANY." Still today, these words are shocking us: The Holy One serving the humanity that rejected Him and even giving His life in reparation of our sins. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary!

February 27, 2024, Tuesday of the Second Week of Lent, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary: As we read in the Gospel today (Mt 23:1-12), Jesus said to his disciples and the crowd: "THE GREATEST AMONG YOU MUST BE YOUR SERVANT. WHOEVER EXALTS HIMSELF WILL BE HUMBLED, BUT WHOEVER HUMBLES HIMSELF WILL BE EXALTED." The Son of God was talking about the spiritual pride shown by the scribes and Pharisees: "DO AND OBSERVE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER THEY TELL YOU, BUT DO NOT FOLLOW THEIR EXAMPLE. FOR THEY PREACH BUT THEY DO NOT PRACTICE." Being themselves the authors of many precepts, the Pharisees believed themselves to be equally the authors of their own sanctity. In other words, they rejected the merciful love of Christ, putting themselves away from Him and His Salvation. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary!

February 26, 2024, Monday of the Second Week of Lent, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary: Christ Jesus asked us to stop judging, and be forgiving and merciful — as we read today in the Gospel of Luke (Lk 6:36-38). "FOR THE MEASURE WITH WHICH YOU MEASURE WILL IN RETURN BE MEASURED OUT TO YOU." For this behavior, we need to ask God's grace. "I SAY TO YOU, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, AND PRAY FOR THOSE WHO PERSECUTE YOU, THAT YOU MAY BE CHILDREN OF YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER, FOR HE MAKES HIS SUN RISE ON THE BAD AND THE GOOD, AND CAUSES RAIN TO FALL ON THE JUST AND THE UNJUST." (Mt 5:43-48) "SO BE PERFECT, JUST AS YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS PERFECT." Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary! Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • ⁠FEBRUARY 26, 2024, TODAY’S ROSARY ON YOUTUBE | DAILY BROADCAST AT 7:30 PM ET https://youtu.be/X_mWGevJQ3g
