Friends of the Rosary, Today is Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord, the foundation upon which our faith rests. It’s the Solemnity of Solemnities and the climax of the Church year because all of the mysteries we have commemorated from Advent until now have pointed toward Easter. On this day, Christ Jesus conquered death and unlocked for us the path to the glory of eternity. The sadness of the Passion and Crucifixion of the Holy Week is vanished. Through a deep prayer of thanksgiving, we praise and glorify Our Lord, expressing the joy of the Resurrection. The true Lamb who took away the sins of the world by His Death destroyed our death and by His Resurrection restored our life. Easter means the Redemption obtained — sin destroyed, death overcome, divine life brought back to us. The resurrection of Christ is a pledge of the resurrection of our own body and our entrance into immortality. It guarantees our redemption and God's assurance that our sins are forgiven, we are called to eternal life, and His merciful love endures forever. Jesus is Risen! Is risen indeed! Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary! Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will! • MARCH 31, 2024, TODAY’S ROSARY ON YOUTUBE | DAILY BROADCAST AT 7:30 PM ET https://youtu.be/e2r2Wffmj9E
Friends of the Rosary, Today, on Holy Saturday (from , its official liturgical name), also known as Saturday of the Glory, the Church remembers and mourns Christ in the tomb. We pray and meditate on his Passion and Death and his Descent to the Dead to announce liberation from the shadow of darkness. It is not Easter yet, and the day is usually spent working on the final preparations for the biggest feast of the Church year. The entire body of the Church is represented in Mary, as she awaits, in faith, the victorious triumph of her Son over death and the celebration of his resurrection. Christ rests in peace, after the great battle against sin and evil. We see the mortal wounds and the scars of intense suffering upon Him. Jesus' enemies are still furious, attempting to obliterate the memory of the Lord by lies and slander. The Church abstains from the Sacrifice of the Mass, with the sacred table left bare, until after the solemn Vigil, the anticipation by night of the Resurrection. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You!

Friends of the Rosary, Today, the whole Church commemorates the commemorate the Passion and crucifixion of Jesus Christ when He died for the sins of the world. It's a solemn day of mourning and also a legal holiday around much of the world. It's a day of sadness, spent in fasting, abstinence, and prayer. Practicing some mortifications today, such as eating less or standing up is appropriate. We find ways to slow down and have more quiet to contemplate this day, avoiding loud conversations and restricting ourselves from distractions, entertainment, and social media. We can pray for different devotions like the Rosary, Stations of the Cross, the Divine Mercy devotions, and do meditative readings of the passion of Christ. The title for this day varies in different parts of the world: "Holy Friday" for Latin nations, in Germany, it is "Friday of Mourning," in Norway, it is "Long Friday." Some view the term "Good Friday" (used in English and Dutch) as a corruption of the term "God's Friday." Liturgically, around three o'clock in the afternoon, we participate in the "Celebration of the Lord's Passion." The service — not a mass — is divided into three parts: the Liturgy of the Word, the Veneration of the Cross — when we joyfully venerate and kiss the wooden cross "on which hung the Savior of the world —, and Holy Communion. In the Liturgy of the Word, we hear the passages from Isaiah of famous of the Suffering Servant (52:13-53:12). Psalm 30 is the Responsorial Psalm "Father, I put my life in your hands." The Second Reading is from the letter to the Hebrews, 4:14-16; 5:7-9. The Gospel Reading is the Passion of St. John. The ten intercessions cover these areas: __ __ The Father sent his Son to bring divine light to the darkest place. Christ Jesus offered his body in sacrifice to take away the sin of the world. St. Anselm said that the death of the Son reestablished the right relationship between divinity and humanity. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary!

Friends of the Rosary, As we read today in the Gospel (Mt 26:14-25 https://bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/26?14), during the Last Supper, Christ confirmed Judas Iscariot as His betrayer: “AMEN, I SAY TO YOU, ONE OF YOU WILL BETRAY ME.” “Woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had never been born.” “Surely it is not I, Rabbi?” “YOU HAVE SAID SO.” Judas Iscariot expresses the mystery of iniquity or The betrayer apostle had spent years in intimacy with Jesus, enjoyed His grace and merciful love, and noticed Jesus was the Son of God. And yet he turned the Messiah over to his enemies. Theologians say that this anomalous tendency of human beings to evil sin has no rational ground for it. Bishop Barron states, Today, Wednesday of Holy Week is traditionally known as , to commemorate the treachery of Judas, who made a bargain with the high priest to betray Jesus for 30 silver pieces. This ends the official Lenten period; tomorrow we enter into the Holy Triduum, the three great liturgical days: Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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
Friends of the Rosary: God wants every believer to be transformed into the image and character of Jesus Christ. And on this season of Lent, we learn all the virtues necessary that, in St. Paul's words, And as we prepare ourselves to participate in the Resurrection of the Lord, we conform our lives in imitation of the suffering and patient servant of Christ. He is the portrait of the loving crucified Savior. Padre Pio, one of the saints who understood Christ’s suffering the most, recommended attending Mass often. And he said: “In your mind’s eye, transport yourself to Calvary," he added. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary!

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!

Friends of the Rosary: The Fourth Sunday of Lent is traditionally called LAETARE SUNDAY. 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. BUT WHOEVER LIVES THE TRUTH COMES TO THE LIGHT, SO THAT HIS WORKS MAY BE CLEARLY SEEN AS DONE IN GOD." Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary!

Friends of the Rosary: "I have come not to abolish the law but to fulfill it," Jesus said to the Pharisees, as we read this Wednesday (Matthew 5:17–19). 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!

Friends of the Rosary: Lent is a time for a new conversion. 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. It’s a new beginning. Benedict focused on three practical solutions. First, he mentions faith in a Creator God, and then Lord, I love you. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary!

Friends of the Rosary: Man's pride exceeds all bounds. We all too frequently boast of our spiritual and material accomplishments as if no one had ever equaled us, even seeking to place himself on a level with, and at times even above, Our Lord. Yet Christ, Who was true God, (Phil. 2:7). Every Crucifix tells us this: The Son of God approached us in His deepest humiliation, summoning us to contemplate Him as the Man of Sorrows, asking we grow in humility and patience by studying His own resignation to the Will of His Heavenly Father.

Friends of the Rosary: Building a culture that protects human and Christian vocations is critical.

Friends of the Rosary: At that time, the crowd was asking Jesus for a sign from Heaven to believe, despite the countless miracles He performed — as we recently read in the Gospel (Lk 11:29-32). 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. The crucified Jesus, who had died and been buried, was risen from the dead and would appear alive again to his disciples before ascending into Heaven. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You!

Friends of the Rosary: In his first letter to the Corinthians, which we read yesterday (1 Cor 1:22-25), St. Paul explains how Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom. 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. And St. Paul concluded: Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary! Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will! • MARCH 4, 2024, TODAY’S ROSARY ON YOUTUBE | DAILY BROADCAST AT 7:30 PM ET https://youtu.be/dbBcyHVKAmg
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. Also, today Sunday, we honor St Katharine Drexel. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary!

Friends of the Rosary: We see a portrait of our Holy God in today's Gospel of Luke and the well-known parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:1–3, 11-32). This is the story: The story of the Prodigal Son is the history of our own desertion. But we are given an urgent call to repentance and conversion. "Father, I have sinned." Our Father welcomes us with mercy. He receives us again as His children. Friends, the Father's nature is to give. God simply is love. And we, sinners, tend to misunderstand how to access the divine love. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary!
