    Friends of the Rosary,At that time (John 15:26—16:4a), the Lord Jesus brought the Holy Spirit to the disciples to testify on His behalf."I have told you this so that you may not fall away.They will expel you from the synagogues,in fact, the hour is coming when everyone who kills youwill think he is offering worship to God. They will do this because they have not known either the Father or me."The world always unleashes violence and fear against the followers of Christ.The “world” is that collectivity of nations, armies, institutions, and people who have lost friendship with God and live in darkness.Jesus wasn't swallowed up by the forces of the world, nor held captive, because he did not live in himself—and hence in fear—but rather in the Father, the power that conquers the world.The Lord wants us to experience the same freedom and detachment by inserting us into the loop of grace that God is.Alleluia!

    Friends of the Rosary,Today, the Sixth Sunday of Easter, we see Christ Jesus saying to his disciples at the Last Supper (John 14:15-21):“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.And I will ask the Father,and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always,the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept.”To whoever loves Jesus, the Lord reveals to him, providing the grace to live according to the Spirit.The Holy Spirit will direct and preserve the faith, doctrine, and morals of the Church of Christ until the end of time.The Catechism states (CCC 739), "Through the Church's sacraments, Christ communicates his Holy and sanctifying Spirit to the members of his Body." Alleluia!

    Friends of the Rosary,Our Lord is revealing to us, through today's reading (John 15:18-21) and through his disciples, that we don't belong to this fallen, sinful world that we see around, and therefore we cannot expect praise and honors."If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first.If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own;but because you do not belong to the world,and I have chosen you out of the world,the world hates you."Then what can we do, as this is our life?Not quite so. Our soul has been created for the glory of eternity to share the entire creation with the Lord. We have to trust in him, knowing that his words are true.It's not about earthly success, it's about everlasting joy."If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.And they will do all these things to you on account of my name,because they do not know the one who sent me."Alleluia!

    Friends of the Rosary,Jesus said to his disciples (John 15:12-17):“This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.No one has greater love than this,to lay down one's life for one's friends.”“It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain,so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.This I command you: love one another.”St. Augustine sees this Gospel as the very heart of Christian morality: not merely to love, but to love as Christ loves.This measure changes everything. Human love often seeks itself, but Christ's love pours itself out for the good of the other.Augustine teaches that charity is the form of all virtue, because without love, even good actions remain incomplete.Alleluia!

    Friends of the Rosary,The love of God is not an emotion. It's a joyful participation in divine mercy, deepened by following the commandments.Love is poured into our hearts by grace, and this way, in living according to God's providence, and not in self-will, we achieve true freedom.Another key reflection from today's reading is that Christ does not separate love from commandments.As we read today, Jesus said to his disciples (John 15:9-11):“As the Father loves me, so I also love you.Remain in my love.If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love,just as I have kept my Father's commandmentsand remain in his love.“I have told you this so thatmy joy might be in you andyour joy might be complete.”Alleluia!

    Friends of the Rosary,Today, May 6, the Church honors St. Peter Nolasco (1182-1258), born in France but later settled in Barcelona, Spain. After taking part in the Crusades against the Albigensians, he, together with St. Raymond of Penafort and James I, King of Aragon, founded the Order of Our Lady of Mercy (Mercedarians), devoted to ransoming Christian prisoners held by the Moors. He did so at the request of the Blessed Mary, who appeared to him in 1228.Around 1,300 Christians would regain their liberty. Peter Nolasco died with these words from Psalm 110 on his lips: "The Lord has sent redemption to His people."Also, today we remember a miracle at the end of the first century, mentioned by St. Jerome. St. John the Apostle was taken to Rome under the Emperor Domitian and convicted of proclaiming Christ.Considered a rebellious old man, he was sentenced by a pagan tribunal to an ignominious and cruel death. A huge cauldron of boiling oil was prepared in front of the Latin Gate in Rome, in which he would be plunged.The executioners seized the old man and threw him into the boiling oil. But suddenly the oil lost all its heat, and by this miracle, St. John came out safe, even feeling that his youthful years were restored to him.A church was built near the Latin Gate. Since then, we have observed the tradition of St. John before the Latin Gate.After the attempted torture, an imperial decree banished John to the rugged Isle of Patmos, where God revealed to him the future of the Church to the end of time in the Book of the Apocalypse.Alleluia!

    Friends of the Rosary,As we read today (John 14:27-31a), Jesus said to his disciples:"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.Not as the world gives do I give it to you.""Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.You heard me tell you,'I am going away and I will come back to you.'Christ's peace is a gift of grace. It sustains the soul.Our modern secular society offers a fragile peace based on circumstances, but Christ gives a peace rooted in God, unshaken by trials, as St. Augustine wrote.His peace comes from rightly ordered love. And we love God above all things, aligning our hearts with Divinity; we find peace and rest.St. Teresa of Ávila encourages us to surrender to God's will.This is the antidote against anxiety!Alleluia!

    Friends of the Rosary,Today, the Fifth Sunday of Easter, we read in the Gospel of John (John 14:1-4), howJesus said to his disciples:“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father's house, there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am, you also may be. Where I am going, you know the way."Christ said this to enlighten his Apostles, who, until Pentecost, were slow, seeing in Jesus only a mere man with power from God and a political Messiah who was about to establish a prosperous and peaceful earthly Kingdom free from foreign domination.Christ often claimed to be God, but His words fell on deaf ears. It was only after His resurrection that they began to understand that He was indeed the Son of God, in human nature.Still today, we are sinful, ungrateful creatures, with a limited capacity for love, unable to form an idea of the goodness, compassion, and infinite love of God.But as we are created "in His own image and likeness", and despite our limited intelligence, we can grasp part of the mystery of humanity.All He asks is that we try to live our daily life thanking Him for the gift of Christ and the grace of the faith.Alleluia!

    Friends of the Rosary,Today, May 1, Friday of the Fourth Week of Easter, the Church celebrates the feast of St. Joseph the Worker.St. Joseph educated Jesus and patiently schooled him in carpentry. By the daily labor, offered to God with patience and joy, St. Joseph provided for the necessities of his holy spouse and of the Incarnate Son of God, and thus became an example to all laborers.“Work was the daily expression of love in the life of the Family of Nazareth,” explained Saint John Paul II.The feast of St. Joseph the Worker was established by Pope Pius XII in 1955 to Christianize the concept of labor and to give all workmen a model and protector. Pope Pius XII expressed the hope that this feast would accentuate the dignity of labor and would bring a spiritual dimension to labor unions. "Workmen and all those laboring in conditions of poverty will have reasons to rejoice rather than grieve, since they have in common with the Holy Family daily preoccupations and cares," said Leo XIII.Alleluia!

The Lord spoke of treachery: “The one who ate my food has raised his heel against me.”Bishop Barron writes, "Consistently, human beings have preferred the isolation of sin to the festivity of the sacred meal.

    Friends of the Rosary,Today, April 29, is the Memorial of St. Catherine of Siena (1347-1380). This fourteenth-century Italian saint, a tertiary of the Dominican Order, was favored with visions from the age of seven.She was distinguished for a life of prayer, extraordinary mortifications, and compelling spiritual writings, such as Dialogue, the book of her meditations and revelations.She addressed letters to cardinals and kings and led ongoing appeals for civil peace and Church reform.In 1366, when all of Siena was celebrating the carnival, and Catherine was praying in her room, Christ and our Blessed Lady appeared to her.Taking Catherine's hand, our Lady held it up to her Son to place a ring on it, one visible to Catherine but not to others.Later, Catherine received an invisible stigmata, which became visible after her death, and through which she accepted the physical agonies of the crucifixion.Though always suffering terrible physical pain, living for long intervals with practically no food except the Blessed Sacrament, she was full of practical wisdom and the greatest spiritual insight.She made such a profound impression on Pope Gregory XI that he left Avignon, despite the opposition of the French king and almost the entire Sacred College, and returned to Rome in 1377.Catherine besought Christ to let her bear the punishment for the sins of the world and to receive the sacrifice of her body for the unity and renovation of the Church. This petition was answered by a vision in which the Bark of Peter was laid upon her shoulders, crushing her with its weight.After a prolonged and mysterious agony, during which she was paralyzed from the waist downward, Catherine died on April 29, 1380.She said, "All the way to heaven is heaven because He said, 'I am the Way."Alleluia!

    Friends of the Rosary,Christ the Lord declares in today's reading of the Gospel (John 6:35-50) that He is the bread of life and promises eternal life to all who believe in Him.Any faithful who eats and drinks the Lord's body and blood is immortalized, becoming configured to Christ, not in a metaphorical or symbolical way.That's the power of the miracle of the Eucharist, which, with the eyes of faith, can be perceived.That's the doctrine of the Real Presence we have to strive to believe in.That's the transformation that implies our entire day-to-day life: body, psyche, emotions, spirit, health, relationships, jobs, businesses…Suddenly, all becomes ordered to the eternal dimension.Bishop Barron explains:“The Christified person knows that his life is not finally about him but about God; the Eucharistized person understands that her treasure is to be found above and not below. Wealth, pleasure, power, honor, success, titles, degrees, even friendships and family connections are all relativized as the high adventure of life with God opens up.”Alleluia!

    Friends of the Rosary,After Jesus had fed the five thousand men and his disciples saw him walking on the sea, the crowd was looking for Jesus, as we read in the Gospel today (John 6:22-29), Monday of the Third Week of Easter:Jesus, seeing what was in their hearts, invited them to believe in Him and said:"Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for menot because you saw signsbut because you ate the loaves and were filled.Do not work for food that perishesbut for the food that endures for eternal life,which the Son of Man will give you.For on him the Father, God, has set his seal."So they said to him,"What can we do to accomplish the works of God?"St. Augustine rightly wrote:"How often do we seek the Lord for what He can give us rather than for who He is?""The food that perishes satisfies only for a moment, but the food that endures for eternal life nourishes the soul forever.""Christ invites us to labor not for earthly bread alone, but for the Bread of Life which He himself will give.""Our restless seeking for temporary satisfactions must give way to faith in the One sent by the Father. The Father has set His seal upon the Son, marking Him as the true sustenance of humanity."Alleluia!

    Friends of the Rosary,Today, Third Sunday of Easter, we read again the passage of the two disciples walking to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-15) with Our Lord opening the Scriptures to them — and to us — making our hearts burn while He speaks to us.They heard the Scriptures interpreted in a way that had never occurred to them before. It is what they have been waiting to hear all their lives. It moves them to beg Jesus, “Stay with us.”The words that speak of Christ's Resurrection — “You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence”— are the same that revivified Peter himself.How is it so? In their road to Emmaus, the disciples' perception was clouded by grief and shock — while Christ showed his patience. In their confusion, they saw the necessity of Christ for true understanding.Emmaus represents every Christian's journey. Pope Benedict XVI explained how the narrative reflects modern faith crises, and how the story perfectly structures the Mass (Word + Eucharist), transforming deserters into witnesses.Alleluia!

As he approached the disciples, he said to them, “It is I. Do not be afraid.”Throughout the Scriptures, water is a symbol of danger and chaos, darkness and disorder, and God has lordship over all of that.At the beginning of time, the Spirit of the Lord hovered over the surface of the waters.Later, through Moses' prayer, the Israelites, escaping from Egypt, confronted the waters of the Red Sea and walked through the midst of the waves.In the New Testament, the boat with Peter and the other disciples is a symbol of the Church, which moves through the waters as we move through time.Bishop Barron writes, “All types of storms—chaos, corruption, stupidity, danger, persecution—will inevitably arise.

    Friends of the Rosary,Alleluia! Christ is Risen!Today, Friday of the Second Week of Easter, we see in the Gospel Jesus (John 6:1-15) in the Sea of Galilee, followed by a large crowd because they saw him healing the sick and later feeding five thousand with an abundance of loaves and fish."When the people saw the sign he had done, they said,"This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world." Since Jesus knew that they were going to come and carry him offto make him king, He withdrew again to the mountain alone."St. Augustine wrote: "The miracles performed by our Lord Jesus Christ are divine works that incite the human mind to rise to the apprehension of God from visible things. Yet His miracles in governing the whole world are so constant that almost no one considers the wonderful works of God exhibited in every grain of seed.""He has reserved to Himself certain works beyond the usual course of nature, that those who lightly esteem His daily works might be struck with astonishment at beholding not greater, but uncommon works."The Holy One made the earth, so it's not about marveling at his miracles but seeking to know its depth and understand its spiritual meaning.For example, the five loaves are the five books of Moses. The two fish signify the priest and the ruler, who were anointed to sanctify and govern the people in the Old Testament. Christ came sustaining in His one person both characters. There were twelve baskets by the apostles.However, as Jesus said, "Blessed are they who see not, and yet believe." Happy Easter!Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

    Friends of the Rosary,Alleluia! Christ is Risen!In today's Gospel (John 3:16-21), we find an explanation of God's merciful and forgiving love. To our wickedness and sins — reflected in the wounds of the risen Jesus shown to his disciples in Easter — the Eternal Father responds with divine mercy.God held back Abraham's arm when he was on the point of sacrificing his only son, but He did not hold back the arm of any of those who were nailing His Only-Begotten Son to the Cross.We read today:"God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son,so that everyone who believes in him might not perishbut 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-begotten Son of God.""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 lightand 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."The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ is the supreme manifestation of God's love for humanity. God took the initiative in love, surrendering for us Him whom He loves most: His own Son. Our faith is a revelation of His goodness, of the mercy, of the love of God for us.God is Love, and man was created in the image and likeness of God. Therefore, the heart of man is made for love, and the more he loves, the more he becomes identified with God. Only when he loves can he be happy, and God wishes us to be happy here on earth, too.Happy Easter!Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

    Friends of the Rosary,Alleluia!

Just as the Israelites looked to the bronze serpent and lived, we look to Christ crucified and receive eternal life. The cross becomes the instrument of our salvation.This is the ultimate paradox: the instrument of death becomes the source of life."Everyone who believes in him may have eternal life." Belief is trusting in the Lord and surrendering.It's looking to the crucified Christ and finding there our healing and our hope.When we look at the cross, do we see mere suffering, or do we see our salvation lifted high?Happy Easter!Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

    Friends of the Rosary,Alleluia! Christ is Risen!Christ the Lord, in conversation with a faithful Pharisee who acknowledged Jesus was the Son of God and was seeking the truth, explained that to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, we have to be born of the Spirit.Today, Monday of the Second Week of Easter, on the memorial day of the seventh-century Pope and Martyr St. Martin I, a courageous defender of the faith against heresy, the Gospel of John (John 3:1-8) presents us with this passage. In it, Christ said:“Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. What is born of flesh is flesh, and what is born of spirit is spirit.”Spiritual rebirth means ongoing transformation by the Holy Spirit. It goes beyond baptism. It's faithfulness to the teachings of Christ and His Church, resulting in a personal, living relationship with Jesus.Spiritual rebirth is not just intellectual assent. We cannot manufacture it on our own. The work of the Spirit is mysterious, powerful, and beyond our control. It's God's gift.So the question remains: Are we living as born-again people? Or are we lukewarm Catholics who practice faith only when convenient?Have we truly been born again in our hearts, or only in the baptismal register? That's the living question for Easter.Happy Easter!Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

    Friends of the Rosary,Alleluia! Christ is Risen!Today, April 12, is the Sunday of Divine Mercy, the Octave Day of Easter. We meditate upon the mystery of God's mercy, the greatest of the attributes and perfections of God, and a gift to humanity, as St. John Paul II wrote in Dives in misericordia.Overwhelmed by the power of evil, selfishness, and fear, the world needs to understand and accept Divine Mercy. The Risen Lord, the Living Christ, offers His love that pardons, reconciles, gives peace, and converts hearts to love.We need to repeat: Jesus, we believe in You, I trust in You, have mercy upon us and upon the whole world.On Good Friday, 1937, Jesus requested that St. Faustina make a special Divine Mercy Novena. Jesus also asked that a picture be painted according to His vision as the fountain of mercy. He gave her a Chaplet of Divine Mercy to be recited and said that it was appropriate to pray the chaplet at three o'clock each afternoon (the Hour of Great Mercy).Saint Faustina, a Sister of Mercy in Poland who initiated the Divine Mercy devotion, received the request from the Lord to set the feast of the Divine Mercy Sunday on the Second Sunday of Easter.On May 5, 2000, five days after the canonization of Saint Faustina, the Vatican decreed that the Second Sunday of Easter would henceforth be known as Divine Mercy Sunday.Happy Easter!Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New York–Jesus to Sr. Faustina – Excerpted from Diary of Sr. M. Faustina Kowalska"On one occasion, I heard these words:"My daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy.The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet.My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity. Everything that exists has come forth from the very depths of My most tender mercy. Every soul in its relation to Me will contemplate My love and mercy throughout eternity.The Feast of Mercy emerged from My very depths of tenderness. It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy."[Let] the greatest sinners place their trust in My mercy. They have the right before others to trust in the abyss of My mercy. My daughter, write about My mercy towards tormented souls. Souls that make an appeal to My mercy delight Me. To such souls I grant even more graces than they ask. I cannot punish even the greatest sinner if he makes an appeal to My compassion, but on the contrary, I justify him in My unfathomable and inscrutable mercy. Write: before I come as a just Judge, I first open wide the door of My mercy. He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice."From all My wounds, like from streams, mercy flows for souls, but the wound in My Heart is the fountain of unfathomable mercy. From this fountain spring all graces for souls. The flames of compassion burn Me. I desire greatly to pour them out upon souls.

    Friends of the Rosary,Alleluia!

Also, when the two disciples from Emmaus returned with their witness, they too were met with disbelief. Finally, Jesus appeared to the Eleven and rebuked them for their unbelief and their hardness of heart before commissioning them to preach to all creation.It's a stunning paradox at the heart of Christianity: the Risen Jesus entrusted us with the greatest announcement in human history, and the disciples then — and we today — refused to believe.The hardness of heart (sklērokardia in Greek) is not mere doubt but structural resistance, a shell that has formed around the soul.Jesus must break through this resistance before He can send them forth. "Go into all the world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature," is commissioning us.His persistence—appearing once, twice, three times in different forms—demonstrates that God never tires of knocking at the door of our unbelief.It is precisely the broken, the doubting, and the unbelieving who become the messengers of hope.Our fragility is not an obstacle to mission—it is the very material from which God builds His Church.Happy Easter!Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Our faith is not merely intellectual assent but a transformation of the heart.

    Friends of the Rosary,The first eight days of Easter form the Octave of Easter and are celebrated as solemnities. Every day is another Easter.Today, April 6, is Monday within the Octave of Easter.Each day, during the Mass liturgy, the verse from Ps 118:24 is recited. “This is the day the LORD has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it.”Indeed, Easter is the spirit of joy, hope, and gratitude to the risen Christ. It's a spirit that lifts us above the sins of the world and death. The risen Christ gives us the strength to overcome the powers of darkness and death.Easter sets a new task before us: we must now begin to live the life of the new man.We rose with Christ in baptism. “If you be risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth,” St. Paul said.We are the “Christ” who is risen. We died to sin in baptism. We live now for God.According to Moses and the prophets, Christ was to suffer to enter into his glory through the resurrection.

    Friends of the Rosary,Jesus is Risen, is Risen, indeed!Today, April 5, is Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord, the basis of our Christian faith and the Solemnity of Solemnities, when we banish all traces of sadness and express the motive for our joy: Easter means sin destroyed, death overcome, divine life brought back to us, redemption obtained, and the resurrection of our body which is promised immortality.All the mysteries commemorated from Advent until now have pointed toward Easter.By His Death, Christ the Lord destroyed our death and by His Resurrection restored our life.Jesus, who had died on the cross on Good Friday, was raised from the dead by his Father on Easter morning. He returned to heaven in full glory. There, as God and Man, he pleads for us at the right hand of the Father until the day when he who redeemed all men will come to judge them all.St. Peter, in his first discourse to a Gentile, makes the resurrection the basic doctrine and the crowning proof of the truth of the Christian faith.As St. Paul says: “If Christ has not risen, vain is our preaching, vain too is your faith.” (1 Cor 15:14). And like Paul, St. Peter stresses the truth of the resurrection by citing witnesses, including himself, who had not only seen the risen Jesus but had spoken to him and actually eaten with him.From the Gospel of the Mass on Easter Day, we read:“Then the angel said to the women in reply, “Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him.' Behold, I have told you.” (Matt 28:5-7)Repeated often during Easter, the Alleluia, which in Hebrew means “praise ye the Lord,” is an expression of our joy and gratitude for all that God has done for us.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

    Friends of the Rosary,Today, April 4, is Holy Saturday (from Sabbatum Sanctum, its official liturgical name), the day of the Lord's rest. Jesus rests in peace in the grave, and the faithful sit near and mourn, after the intense battle against sin and death, and now a victorious triumph over evil. It's a calm and quiet day.The Church, united with Mary and the apostles, remains in prayer and faith at the Lord's tomb, meditating on his Passion and Death, on his Descent into Hell, and awaiting his Resurrection.The body of Jesus lies in the tomb, but his soul has descended into hell, or to the realm of the dead, to announce liberation from darkness to his ancestors and deliver the righteous.The body of the Church is represented in the Blessed Virgin Mary: she is the "credentium collectio universa" (Congregation for Divine Worship,The mortal wounds on His Body, the scars of intense suffering, remain visible. Jesus' enemies are still furious, attempting to erase the very memory of the Lord by lies and slander.No liturgies are celebrated until the Easter Vigil at night. The silence of Holy Saturday ends at sundown with the Easter Vigil, which marks the start of Easter Sunday, the resurrection of Jesus Christ.The Easter Vigil signifies the transition from darkness to light and from death to life.It's the longest and most dramatic service of the year; it often lasts over two hours, depending on the number of readings and baptisms. It features four parts:• Service of Light: Begins in darkness, with a fire lit outside the church to light the Paschal Candle, symbolizing Christ breaking the darkness of sin.• Service of Readings: Multiple readings from the Old and New Testaments recount salvation history, from creation to resurrection.• Service of Initiation and Baptism: The blessing of water, used for baptismal regeneration and renewal of our baptismal vows. We see the celebration of baptisms, with those being baptized, symbolizing new life, wearing white Garments and holding lit candles.• Service of the Eucharist: The first mass of Easter, marking a joyous celebration of the Eucharist.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

    Friends of the Rosary,Today, April 3, is Friday of the Passion of the Lord. It's the Celebration of the Lord's Passion, when the Church mourns the death of our Savior — traditionally a day of sadness, spent in fasting and prayer.The title for this day varies: "Holy Friday" for Latin nations, and "Good Friday", as a derivative of the term "God's Friday”, in English-speaking countries.Today's Mass is divided into three parts: Liturgy of the Word, Veneration of the Cross, and Holy Communion.The liturgy starts with the priests and deacons going to the altar in silence and prostrating themselves in silent prayer.In the readings, we hear the passage of the Suffering Servant from Isaiah (52:13-53:12). The Responsorial Psalm is "Father, I put my life in your hands." The Epistle, or 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 intercessions, at the conclusion of the Liturgy of the Word, are:For the ChurchFor the PopeFor the clergy and laity of the ChurchFor those preparing for BaptismFor the unity of ChristiansFor the Jewish peopleFor those who do not believe in ChristFor those who do not believe in GodFor all in public officeFor those in special needPart two is the Veneration of the Cross. A cross is processed through the Church, and then venerated by the congregation. We joyfully venerate and kiss the wooden cross "on which hung the Savior of the world."Part three, Holy Communion, concludes the Celebration of the Lord's Passion. The Blessed Sacrament is brought to the altar from the place of reposition. The Our Father and the Ecce Agnus Dei ("This is the Lamb of God") are recited.The congregation receives Holy Communion, then there is a "Prayer After Communion," followed by a "Prayer Over the People," and everyone departs in silence.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

    Friends of the Rosary,Today is Holy Thursday of the Sacred Triduum (Triduum Sacrum), the three-part drama of Christ's redemption: Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday.On this day, Jesus instituted Holy Orders and left us His greatest gift, the Holy Eucharist.By reading the Gospels (cf. Matt 26:1 ff.; Mark 14:1 ff.; Luke 22:1 ff.; John 13:1 ff.), the faithful imitate Christ's humility in washing the apostles' feet at the Last Supper.We meditate on the following Jesus' actions in the Last Supper and after:(1) The eating of the Easter lamb or the paschal meal;(2) the washing of the disciples' feet;(3) the institution of the Most Holy Eucharist (the first Mass at which Jesus Christ, the eternal high priest, is the celebrant; the first Communion of the apostles; the first conferring of Holy Orders);(4) the foretelling of Judas' betrayal and Peter's denials;(5) the farewell discourse and priestly prayer of Jesus;(6) the agony and capture of Jesus in the Garden of Olives.There are two Masses on Holy Thursday—the Chrism Mass and the evening Mass of the Lord's Supper.In each diocese, there is a Chrism Mass, or Mass of the Holy Oils, usually celebrated in the morning at the cathedral. Catholics should make an effort to participate at the Mass at least once in their lives, to experience the communion of priests with their bishop. All the priests of the diocese are invited to concelebrate with the bishop. This Mass also celebrates the institution of the priesthood.During the evening of Holy Thursday, the Mass of the Lord's Supper is celebrated. It is celebrated in the evening because the Passover began at sundown. This is a very joyful Mass, as we recall the institution of the Holy Eucharist and the priesthood. The priests wear white vestments, the altar is filled with flowers, the Gloria is sung, and the bells are rung.The Liturgy of the Mass recalls the Passover, the Last Supper, which includes the Washing of the Feet. The hymn Ubi Caritas, or Where Charity and Love Prevail, is usually sung at this time.After the Communion Prayer, there is no final blessing. The Holy Eucharist is carried in procession through the church and then transferred into a place of repose, usually a side chapel. The hymn Pange Lingua is also usually sung at this time.After the Mass, we recall the Agony in the Garden, and the arrest and imprisonment of Jesus. The altar is stripped bare, and crosses are removed or covered.The Eucharist has been placed in an altar of repose, and most churches are open for silent adoration, to answer Christ's invitation "Could you not, then, watch one hour with me?" (Matt 26:40)When the Eucharist is processed to the altar of repose after the Mass of the Lord's Supper, we should remain in quiet prayer and adoration, keeping Christ company.The place of repose has traditionally been referred to as "a holy sepulcher." The faithful go there to venerate Jesus, who was placed in a tomb following the crucifixion and in which he remained for some forty hours.There is a tradition, particularly in big cities with many parishes, to try to visit seven churches and their altar of repose during this evening.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

    Friends of the Rosary,Today, Wednesday of Holy Week, is traditionally known as Spy Wednesday, as we are reminded of Judas Iscariot's betrayal.Today's Gospel, on the eve of the Paschal Triduum, prepares us for the dramatic developments of Holy Thursday and Good Friday.The forces of darkness are closing in on the Light of the world, as the Lamb of God is going to celebrate his last Passover.“He who has dipped his hand into the dish with meis the one who will betray me.The Son of Man indeed goes, as it is written of him,but 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.”Then Judas, his betrayer, said in reply,“Surely it is not I, Rabbi?”He answered, “You have said so.”Judas' final treachery was to refuse God's mercy, to collapse in on himself in despair.We, the faithful, are invited to turn frequently to Jesus, asking for his mercy and for the grace to persevere!Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

    Friends of the Rosary,Today's Gospel (John 13:21-33, 36-38) presents the sad scene of betrayal at the Last Supper. The troubled Lord announces that one of the Twelve will betray Him.The Lord, in sovereign command of the situation, knew that Satan had tempted this disciple.We see how "after Judas took the morsel, Satan entered him."When the betrayer had left, Jesus said,"Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.""My children, I will be with you only a little while longer.""Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, though you will follow later."Jesus said to Peter,"Will you lay down your life for me?Amen, amen, I say to you, the cock will not crowbefore you deny me three times."The passage contrasts Judas's betrayal with Peter's three denials during the interrogation.Although Peter denies knowing the Master, his tears of remorse and repentance bring him forgiveness. As with the prodigal son, his filial dignity is restored, and the continued outpouring of the Divine Mercy turns him into the rock, the foundation, on which the Church is built.Brought by grace to the light of repentance, Peter lives, eventually giving his life out of love for the Lord.Judas, as it will read on Good Friday, compounds his sin of betrayal by committing the sin of despair. Unable to imagine forgiveness for such a sin, he falls into what Pope Benedict XVI once described as his "second tragedy," killing himself.Rejecting the Light of the world, Judas enters the darkness of those who hate the divine master plan.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

    Friends of the Rosary,In today's Gospel (John 12:1–11), Mary of Bethany anointed the feet of Jesus with costly perfume as an anticipation of his death and burial, when the three Marys (Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome) visited the tomb of the Lord.Today's liturgy presents the characters of Mary of Bethany and Judas, along with the plot to kill Jesus and Lazarus.Mary and Judas typify man's relation to Christ. The good persons who repay Him with love and service and the foe aiming to crucify Him.Jesus movingly expressed it: “I gave My body to those who beat Me, and My cheeks to those who plucked them. I did not turn away My face from those who cursed and spit upon Me.”Down through the ages, Christ is enduring an endless round of suffering, giving His mystical body — the Church of the faithful — to other Marys for anointing and to other Judases to be kissed, beaten, and mistreated.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

    Friends of the Rosary,Today, March 29, is Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion, the beginning of Holy Week. This feast commemorates Christ's entry into Jerusalem. Following the Jews' example, we proclaim Christ as a Victor over death and sin, taking us with Him into the kingdom of His Father in heaven.We say Hosanna to the Messiah, the Son of God, Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord.But He is the sign of contradiction, as He is acclaimed by some and reviled by others.Sent into this world to unchain us from sin and the power of Satan, He underwent His Passion, a punishment for our sins, completing the Paschal Mystery.In the Procession with the Palms, in the Gospel, we see a very large crowd spreading their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and strewed them on the road. People were crying out and saying: "Hosanna to the Son of David.”When He entered Jerusalem, the whole city was shaken and asked, "Who is this?" And the crowds replied, "This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth in Galilee." (Matt 21:7-11)In the Liturgy for Palm Sunday, the priests and deacons wear red vestments. There is a special procession at the beginning of Mass, and we witness the blessing of the palms and the gospel reading of the entrance into Jerusalem (Matt 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-10; John 12:12-16; Luke 19:28-40). The priest explains the meaning of Holy Week, the last days of Christ on earth, and the celebration of our Lord's paschal mystery, after the five weeks of Lent.It's a solemn celebration in union with the whole Church: We remember and dramatize Christ's triumphal entrance into Jerusalem on a donkey, to complete his work as our Messiah: to suffer, to die, and to rise again.United with him in his suffering on the cross, we share his resurrection and new life.The palms are blessed with the following prayer:Almighty God, we pray that you bless these branches and make them holy. Today we joyfully acclaim Jesus our Messiah and King. May we one day reach the happiness of the new and everlasting Jerusalem by faithfully following him who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.Today's Mass recognizes that Jesus' triumph and kingship, which will be revealed when he is lifted up on the cross.Jesus' experience of being loved and hated, of being welcomed and then rejected, provides us with the strength to endure the hardships and injustices of our own lives.United to Jesus, our suffering leads to glory.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

    Friends of the Rosary,The plot by the Jewish leaders against Lord Jesus continues to mount as we approach Palm Sunday and His sorrowful passion, according to today's main Gospel reading (John 11:45-56).The Pharisees knew Jesus' work was supernatural, but they prioritized their earthly prideful interests, planning to kill him. Picture the scene: the dominant Church of that time against the Author of Life.“The chief priests and the Phariseesconvened the Sanhedrin and said,“What are we going to do?This man is performing many signs.If we leave him alone, all will believe in him,and the Romans will comeand take away both our land and our nation.”So Jesus decided no longer to walk in public among the Jews, and he left for the region near the desert, to a town called Ephraim, and there he remained with his disciples, while the Passover was near.The Scripture tells that in the meantime, “many of the Jews who had come to Mary and seen what Jesus had done began to believe in him.”Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Jesus replied, "Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father."The Father and the Son cohere in each other.

    Friends of the Rosary,We've started the fifth and final full week of Lent. In most dioceses, crosses and statues in churches were veiled at this time to mark Passion Time. Now, day after day, the liturgical readings tell of the storm clouds that next week will break open.Today's Lenten main reading (John 8:1-11) teaches the episode of the adulterous woman, that every sin is adultery to God, and is pardonable by Christ.During Lent, the penitential spirit should be present in our lives, as this season is essentially a time of prayer and mortification. This sounds like a denial of the values of our secular society — and rightly so.The modern creed proclaims a pagan conception of mankind, and therefore, a penitential spirit is unbearable. The prevalent philosophy is: "Let us eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die."In our pagan environment, doing penance is a dysfunctional practice of delusional pietists.But penance has deeper significance as it puts us closer to Christ, the Suffering Servant, who endured the Stations of the Cross.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

    Friends of the Rosary,Today, the Fifth Sunday of Lent, formerly known as "Passion Sunday," marks the beginning of Passiontide, a deeper time within Lent. It's the final Sunday of Lent, and the Liturgy of the Word (John 11:1-45) speaks of resurrection and new life.The Church invites us to turn our attention to the death of a loved one.Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, He will give you.” Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him, “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who is coming into the world.” (John 11: 21-27)Covering crosses and images in the church from this Sunday may be observed in the Dioceses of the United States. Crosses remain covered until the end of the Celebration of the Lord's Passion on Good Friday, but images remain covered until the beginning of the Easter Vigil.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!
