    Friends of the Rosary,Today, the reading of the Gospel (Luke 11:1-4) presents us with the prayer that Christ Jesus taught us.He said to the disciples, "When you pray, say:Father, hallowed be your name,Your Kingdom come.Give us each day our daily breadand forgive us our sinsfor we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us,and do not subject us to the final test."Through the "Lord's Prayer", we put God's holy name first; we strive to do his will in all things and at all times; we ask to be strengthened by spiritual food; we commit to be forgiving and withstand the dark powers.Humans are wired with the desire to speak to God and listen to Him. That impulse — that grace — is planted deep within us.Our prayer is not designed to change God's mind or to tell God something he doesn't know. He is rather the One who wants to give us good things, though they might not always be what we want.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, October 7, is the Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary.The feast was instituted to honor the Virgin Mary in thanksgiving for the Christian victory over the Turks and Ottoman Empire at Lepanto on October 7, 1571.The naval victory, which saved Europe from being overrun by Islamic forces, was a divine favor granted through the recitation of the Rosary of Mary. Pope St. Pius V and all Christians had prayed the Rosary for victory.The Feast is a great festival of thanksgiving for the signal and countless benefits bestowed on Christendom through the Rosary of our Blessed Queen, Mary Help of Christians.Across history, successive popes have urged the faithful to pray the Rosary.Pope Benedict XVI invited all families to pray the Rosary, “It is a contemplative and Christocentric prayer, inseparable from the meditation of Sacred Scripture. It is the prayer of the Christian who advances in the pilgrimage of faith, in the following of Jesus, preceded by Mary.”Saint John Paul II said, “The rosary does indeed ‘mark the rhythm of human life,' bringing it into harmony with the ‘rhythm' of God's own life, in the joyful communion of the Holy Trinity, our life's destiny and deepest longing. Through the rosary, the faithful receive abundant grace, as though from the very hands of the Mother of the Redeemer.”The Rosary is a contemplative, mental, and vocal prayer, biblically inspired, that centers on meditation on the salvific mysteries of Christ in union with Mary, and brings down God's blessing on the faithful.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, October 5, the twenty-seventh Sunday in ordinary time, in the main reading (Luke 17:5-10), "The apostles said to the Lord, 'Increase our faith."The Lord replied,"If you have faith the size of a mustard seed,You would say to this mulberry tree,'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.""When you have done all you have been commanded,say, 'We are unprofitable servants;We have done what we were obliged to do."Faith increases when we, in all humility, acknowledge that, before the Lord, we are "unprofitable servants," and when we are willing to share our hardship for the Gospel, as the strength comes from God.Following the Apostles, we must all pray for greater trust in the Lord and his divine providence. In thanksgiving when our affairs are going well and we are enjoying good health, and also when trouble strikes.

    Friends of the Rosary,Today, October 4, is the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226), a 13th-century Italian priest who renounced his worldly possessions to devote himself to Christ. He was the first person (recorded) to receive the stigmata (the five wounds of Christ) in 1224.Francis Bernardone was born and died in Assisi. He was the son of a wealthy merchant, received a good education, and initially followed the ways of the world with a lavish and irresponsible life.At the age of twenty, he went to war against Perugia, but was captured and imprisoned. During his imprisonment, he had a vision of Christ, which changed his life completely.In a dream, God told him, “Go and repair my church, which, as you can see, is in ruins.”He left all his possessions and embraced complete poverty, taking the Gospel as his rule of life.In 1220, he founded the Franciscan order, which, within ten years, numbered five thousand brothers.Out of humility, Francis never accepted the priesthood but remained a deacon all his life.He had a great love for God's creatures and referred to them as his brothers and sisters.His ardent love of God merited for him the name of Seraphic. He is also nicknamed "God's Fool" and "Il Poverello" (The Little Poor One).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, Saint Bernard of Clairvaux († 1153) successfully promoted devotion to the Guardian Angels, a feast and a form of piety we celebrated yesterday.For this saint, the Holy Angels were a proof "that heaven denies us nothing that assists us." "These celestial spirits have been placed at our sides to protect us, instruct us, and guide us," he said.Another great saint, Basil the Great († 378), taught, "each and every member of the faithful has a Guardian Angel to protect, guard, and guide them through life."Today, the first Friday of the month, we celebrate our devotion to the Sacred Heart by attending Mass and receiving Holy Communion in a state of grace.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, October 2, the Church celebrates the Memorial of the Holy Guardian Angels.Today's feast appeared in Spain during the sixteenth century as an invitation to pray to our guardian angels, and it was extended to the universal Church one century later.It's a truth of our faith that the moment of conception, when the soul is infused, a personal guardian angel is assigned to each person, with the mission of watching over him and helping to attain salvation.This protection continues throughout our earthly life. The guardian angel accompanies our soul to purgatory or heaven, and becomes our coheir in the heavenly kingdom.Guardian angels are servants and messengers from God — "Angel" in Greek means messenger.These spirits guide us to heaven only if we desire it. Because, as St. Thomas Aquinas wrote, angels cannot act directly upon our will or intellect.They protect us from physical danger in unseen ways, assist us in our work and studies, and help us resist temptation.From the Gospel of today's liturgy, we read: "See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father" (Matthew 18:10).We are invited to cherish a reverence for our guardian angel, not doubting his presence because we do not see him.These spirits — a kind of trustworthy, intelligent, and strong bodyguards — are sent by the Father to be our protectors and our guides. We follow and remain close to them, to dwell in the protection of the Most High.As St. Bernard of Clairvaux wrote, “Call out to him and say: Lord, save us, we are perishing.”And, by the way, the Mother Church discourages the practice of assigning names to the Holy Angels, except in the cases of Gabriel, Raphael, and Michael, whose names are contained in Holy Scripture.The prayer to the guardian angels has been present in the Church since at least the beginning of the 12th century:Angel of God,my Guardian dear,to whom His lovecommits me here,ever this daybe at my side,to light and guard,to rule and guide.Amen.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,Yesterday, the Church celebrated the Feast of the Archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, who are venerated in the Christian tradition.Michael (Who is like God?), the archangel who fought against Satan and all his evil angels, is our protector from the snares of the devil. Gabriel (Strength of God) announced to Zachariah the forthcoming birth of John the Baptist, and to Mary, the birth of Jesus. His greeting to the Virgin, "Hail, full of grace," is one of the most frequent prayers. Raphael (Medicine of God) is the archangel who took care of Tobias on his journey.The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches us that the existence of spiritual, non-corporeal angels is a truth of faith. The name angel means servant or messenger of God.In the liturgy, the Church joins with the angels to adore the Trinitarian God, invoking their assistance,Angels are pure, celestial, or heavenly spirits created on a higher order than human beings. They have intellect and will, and are immortal.They are a vast multitude, but each is an individual person. Archangels are one of the nine choirs of angels listed in the Bible. In ascending order, the choirs or classes are 1) Angels, 2) Archangels, 3) Principalities, 4) Powers, 5) Virtues, 6) Dominations, 7) Thrones, 8) Cherubim, and 9) Seraphim.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, September 29, is the feast day of the three Archangels named in Sacred Scripture, all with key roles in the history of salvation: Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael.Saint Michael is the "Prince of the Heavenly Host," the leader of all the angels, who cast down Lucifer and the evil spirits into Hell when they rebelled against God. His name is Hebrew for "Who is like God?". He is mentioned four times in the Bible, in Daniel 10 and 12, in the letter of Jude, and in Revelation.In 1899, Pope Leo XIII, having had a prophetic vision of the evil that would be inflicted upon the Church and the world in the 20th century, instituted a prayer asking for Saint Michael's protection to be said at the end of every Mass.Christian tradition recognizes four offices of Saint Michael: (i) to fight against Satan, (ii) to rescue the souls of the faithful from the power of the enemy, especially at the hour of death. (iii) to be the champion of God's people, (iv) to call away from earth and bring men's souls to judgment."I am Gabriel, who stands before God." (Luke 1, 19)Saint Gabriel, whose name means "God's strength," announced the Incarnation of the Word in the womb of Mary and the birth of John the Baptist to his father Zacharias. He also appeared to St. Joseph and to the shepherds, and "strengthened" Jesus during his agony in the garden of Gethsemane."I am the angel Raphael, one of the seven, who stand before the Lord" (Tob 12:15)Saint Raphael means "God has healed" because of his healing of Tobias' blindness in the Book of Tobit. His office is to be that of healing and acts of mercy.Raphael is also identified with the angel in John 5:1-4 who descended upon the pond and bestowed healing powers.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 main reading (St. Luke 16:19-31), Christ Jesus addresses the Pharisees with a parable recounting the history of two men, one in hell and the other in heaven.On this earth, a rich man was focused exclusively on his wealth, excluding all thought of God, what followed after death, and forgetting about his neighbors, despite having knowledge of the teachings of Moses and the prophets.Also, on earth, there was a beggar, suffering also bodily pains. He bore all of this patiently. He was content when getting the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. He never criticized or blamed him, leaving these things to God.Both men die eventually. The beggar goes straight to heaven to a state of endless happiness, with his bodily sufferings ended forever.The rich man goes to hell, seeing his enjoyments come to an end. He is now in forever torments, and he is told that he won't expect any relief. Abraham explains to him why he is in his present state: he abused his time on earth.The foolish man acknowledges that he has no one to blame but himself. He admits that his bad example will lead his brothers still on earth to a like fate.He said, 'Then I beg you, father,send him to my father's house, for I have five brothers,so that he may warn them,lest they too come to this place of torment.'But Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the prophets.Let them listen to them.'He said, 'Oh no, father Abraham,but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'Then Abraham said, 'If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets,neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead.'"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,On September 27, the Catholic Church commemorates the feast of Saint Vincent de Paul.This 17th-century French priest is recognized as the patron of Catholic charities for his apostolic work for those in need.He was encouraged by the love of Christ to "organize permanent forms of service" to provide for the poor and marginalized, as Pope Benedict XVI noted.In 1605, five years after receiving ordination as a priest and as a tutor to students in Toulouse, during a sea voyage was captured by Turkish pirates and sold into slavery. His ordeal of captivity lasted until 1607, during which time the priest converted his owner to the Christian faith and escaped with him from Tunisia. Afterward, he spent time studying in Rome and moved with compassion for the poor, began undertaking missions and founding institutions to help them both materially and spiritually.Vincent established the Congregation of Priests of the Mission in 1625, as part of an effort to evangelize rural populations and foster vocations to remedy a priest shortage. He also worked with the future Saint Louise de Marillac to organize the Daughters of Charity, the first congregation of women religious whose consecrated life involved an extensive apostolate among the poor, the sick, and prisoners.Doctrinally, Vincent was a strong opponent of Jansenism, a theological heresy that denied the universality of God's love and discouraged reception of the Eucharist. He was also involved in the reform of several religious orders within France.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 yesterday's reading of the Gospel (Luke 9:1-6), we learned about Jesus sending out the Twelve Apostles with power and authority to preach the Kingdom of God, heal the sick, and cast out demons. He instructs them to take nothing for their journey, relying completely on God's Providence.This passage powerfully reminds us of our own mission as disciples, called to be instruments of God's grace in the world, not through our own resources or worldly comforts, but by trusting entirely in His providence or provision.The instruction to "take nothing" is a call to radical detachment, showing that the true power to spread the Gospel comes from Christ alone. We are sent not just to speak, but to heal, bringing divine love to a hurting world through both word and deed.Like the apostles, we are called to rely on God's mercy, to proclaim His Kingdom boldly, and to set aside what distracts us from our mission.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,Historically, today, September 25, is the commemoration of Our Lady of Ransom. The Blessed Virgin appeared in separate visions to St. Peter Nolasco, St. Raymond of Penafort, and James, King of Aragon, in 1218, asking them to found a religious order dedicated to freeing Christian captives from the barbarous Saracens, also known as Moors, who at the time held a significant part of Spain.On August 10, 1218, King James established the royal, military, and religious Order of our Lady of Ransom, first known as the Order of St. Eulalia, now known as the Mercedarian Order, with most of the members being knights. Many became heroes of charity who collected alms for the ransom of Christians, and often gave themselves up in exchange for Christian prisoners.This feast was extended to the whole Church by Innocent XII in the 17th century.Additionally, in England today, the Feast of Our Lady of Walsingham is observed. In 1061, the lady of the manor of Walsingham, Richeldis de Faverches, was instructed by a vision of the Virgin Mary to build in her village an exact replica of the house in Nazareth in which the Annunciation had taken place.The original house was destroyed by Henry VIII, but by 1897, the chapel had been reconstructed, and pilgrimage was restored for both Anglicans and Catholics.On March 29, 2020, England was rededicated as the “Dowry of Mary,” with Our Lady of Walsingham being the central Marian devotion around the rededication.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!

He was the first priest ever to be so blessed.His fame spread widely, and with this came suspicion, false accusations, and repeated investigation by the Holy Office.He was reportedly able to bi-locate, levitate, read the consciences, and heal by touch.Yet despite his notoriety, he would often say, "I only want to be a poor friar who prays."Today, there are over 400,000 members worldwide in prayer groups begun by Padre Pio in the 1920s.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!

He wanted to reach the young men who feel they have no direction, no purpose, no faith, and no reason to live; men wasting their lives on distractions, and consumed with resentment, anger, and hate. He wanted to help them and show them a better path and life, like the young one who took his life.""I forgive him because it was what Christ did and what Charlie would do.""The answer to hate is not hate, is always love. Love for our enemies and those who persecute you.""The world needs a group that would point young people away from the path of misery and sin, away from hell in this world and in the next, in the direction of truth and beauty." "Now his mission is my mission. Let that miracle be your turning point."On his side, President Trump joined other personalities who hailed Mr. Kirk as a “martyr” and vowed to carry on his mission to implement a conservative Christian vision of the United States.He said that "Charlie Kirk was our greatest evangelist for American liberty, and he has become immortal. No one nor history will forget Charlie. He has been reunited with his creator in heaven; his voice on earth will echo through the generations, and he will live forever.""Erika, you found the strength and deep faith to be a comfort to millions.

    Friends of the Rosary,In yesterday's reading  (Luke 8:1–3), Luke the Evangelist recounted how some women accompanied Jesus and provided for him and the Twelve. Jesus invited women into full participation in the life of discipleship.Jesus's call to discipleship is for everyone. Rich and poor, men and women, and those on the inside and the outside, are summoned to follow the Lord.Over the centuries, we have seen remarkable women who followed Jesus as exemplars of Christian faith.

She was crying, and around her neck was a crucifix.She asked men to stop offending her Son with blasphemy.The message from Mary in La Salette was much the same as at Fatima:"If my people do not wish to submit themselves, I am forced to let go of the hand of my Son. It is so heavy and weighs me down so much that I can no longer keep hold of it."She lamented with tears those who do not keep Sunday holy and who take the name of the Lord in vain.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• ⁠September 18, 2025, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

    Friends of the Rosary,When Christ Jesus was expiring hung on the cross, he looked to his mother and the disciple whom he loved, and he said to Mary, “Woman, behold, your son,” and then to John, “Behold, your mother.”In entrusting Mary to John, Jesus entrusted the Holy Virgin to all those who want to dwell in friendship with the Lord during their earthly pilgrimage.This biblical passage that we read this week during the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows (John 19:25–27) reflects Mary's ongoing presence as Mother of the Church.As we learn in the second Luminous Mystery today, the safest and speediest way to reach Jesus is through her Mother, the Immaculate Mary, assumed body and soul into heaven.The “Queen of all the saints” is the guardian of our faith.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• September 18, 2025, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

    Friends of the Rosary,Living in the Divine Will involves replacing one's own will with God's Will, allowing for a complete union with Christ.And as we read in the Gospel (Matthew 7:21-29), Christ Jesus said to his disciples,"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,'will enter the Kingdom of heaven,but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.Many will say to me on that day,' Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?' Then I will declare to them solemnly,' I never knew you.  Depart from me, you evildoers.'"The Lord reveals that acting on his words means to be like a wise man who builds his house on a solid rock against the rain, floods, and winds — meaning the difficulties in life.God's encompassing purpose, intentions, and creative power govern the universe, influencing human destiny. Aligning one's own will with God's will results in living a holy, joyful, and hopeful life.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• ⁠September 17, 2025, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

The timing of the memorial invites reflection on the inseparable connection between Jesus's sacrifice and Mary's compassionate suffering.This commemoration, which dates back to the 12th century, focuses on her "Seven Sorrows" in her life, providing an example for believers to find strength and hope in their own times of suffering.The feast is dedicated to the spiritual martyrdom of Mary and her intense suffering during the passion and death of Christ, particularly as she stood at the foot of the Cross of her Son.In her suffering as co-redeemer, Mary reminds us of the evil of sin and shows us the way of true repentance.Mary suffered seven dolors, or sorrows, like seven swords that pierced her Heart.The prophecy of Simeon, (Luke 2:25-35)The flight into Egypt, (Matthew 2:13-15)Loss of the Child Jesus for three days, (Luke 2:41-50) Mary meets Jesus on his way to Calvary, (Luke 23:27-31; John 19:17)Crucifixion and Death of Jesus, (John 19:25-30)The body of Jesus being taken from the Cross (deposition from the Cross), (Psalm 130; Luke 23:50-54; John 19:31-37)The burial of Jesus, (Isaiah 53:8; Luke 23:50-56; John 19:38-42; Mark 15:40-47)September is traditionally dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows.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• ⁠September 15, 2025, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

    Friends of the Rosary,Today, September 14, is the feast of the exaltation of the Holy Cross, the glorious sign of our victory.This day is also called the Triumph of the Cross, Elevation of the Cross, or Holy Cross Day. The Mother Church sings of the triumph of the Cross, the instrument of our redemption.Observed in Rome since the seventh century, this feast commemorates the recovery by St. Helena of the Holy Cross, placed on Mount Calvary, and later returned to Jerusalem by Emperor Heraclius in 629.The cross was a terrifying instrument of death and capital punishment in Greco-Roman times, reserved for those who undermined the authority of the Roman state. But the Resurrection of Christ through the strange providence of God made the cross the instrument of our salvation when we pass from death to life.Jesus showed this by comparing his crucifixion to the bronze serpent. After Israel had sinned in the desert, God punished the people with deadly serpents. Yet when they repented and he showed them mercy, he did not take away the serpents. Instead, he erected an image of that punishment. If a bitten Israelite looked upon a bronze serpent, he would live."For just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”Similarly, Adam's sin and our personal sins merit death. But we fix our eyes on the crucified Lord who was “obedient unto death, even death on a cross.”To follow Christ, we must take up His cross, follow Him, even if it means death on the cross. We identify with Christ on the Cross and become co-redeemers, sharing in His cross.The liturgy in today's Mass is triumphant. When Moses lifted up the bronze serpent over the people, it was a foreshadowing of the salvation through Jesus when He was lifted up on the Cross.We continue praying for Charlie and Erika Kirk and their two children.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• ⁠September 14, 2025, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

When we pronounce her name, we affirm her power, implore her aid, and place ourselves under her protection.Pope Benedict XVI wrote, "May her name never be far from your lips, or far from your heart. If you follow her, you will not stray; if you pray to her, you will not despair; if you turn your thoughts to her, you will not err. If she holds you, you will not fall; if she protects you, you need not fear; if she is your guide, you will not tire; if she is gracious to you, you will surely reach your destination."In accordance with Jewish custom, St. Joachim and St. Anne named their child eight days after her birth, and they were inspired to call her Mary.The feast originated in Spain and was approved by the Holy See in 1513. Innocent XI extended its observance to the whole Church in 1683 in thanksgiving to our Lady for the victory on September 12, 1683, by the king of Poland, over the Turks, who were besieging Vienna and threatening the West.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, September 5, is the feast day of St. Teresa of Calcutta, Mother Teresa, who was called to work and live among the poorest of the poor in India.Born Agnes Bojaxhiu in Skopje, Albania, at the age of eighteen, she joined the Sisters of Loreto, becoming, as she said, the "spouse of Jesus" for "all eternity."In 1946, Teresa was on a train to Calcutta when she heard the voice of Christ: “I thirst.” It was "a call within a call." Over the next weeks and months, Jesus revealed to her the desire of His heart for “radiating His love on souls.” “I cannot go alone.”He asked Mother Teresa to establish the Missionaries of Charity, a religious community. Then, she went alone to the slums of Calcutta, giving food and medicine and tending the dying. Her simplicity and energy attracted many followers. By the time of her death, 610 houses of her order had been founded.Mother Teresa once said, "A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, must empty ourselves. The fruit of silence is prayer, the fruit of prayer is faith, the fruit of faith is love, the fruit of love is service, the fruit of service is peace."She also said, "Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His love than in your own weakness."Mother Teresa was a fierce defender of the unborn: "If you hear of some woman who does not want to keep her child and wants to have an abortion, try to persuade her to bring him to me. I will love that child, seeing in him the sign of God's love."Mother Teresa died on September 5, 1997, and was beatified only six years later, on October 19, 2003.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,Yesterday, we reflected on the virtue of humility, associated with the first joyful mystery.Christ Jesus lowered Himself to our level when He took our human nature. He was born in a stable, grew up in the obscure village of Nazareth, earned his meager meals as a carpenter in the country, and died on a cross as a malefactor with two thieves as companions.There are far too many who set themselves up as judges over their neighbors and appoint themselves as the models to be imitated by all others.There is pride in each one of us, originating from an instinctive inclination to elevate and esteem ourselves. Our modern society doesn't help either, as it identifies humility with weakness and pushes us to be aggressive.And watch out for spiritual pride. The proud Christian himself is a contradiction. He muses: God forgives sinners too easily. God doesn't know them as well as I do.This is vanity and even ideology.Such Christians raise themselves above their neighbors, choosing the first places at the banquet. Just like the Pharisees of that time, who were thanking God that they were not like the rest of men.Jesus, I Trust In You!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,As we read today, Sunday, in the Gospel of Luke (14:1, 7-14), Jesus was invited to dine in the house of a leading Pharisee. The Pharisees were convinced of their own perfect knowledge and observance of the law.Noticing how they were choosing the places of honor at the table, Jesus told them, through a simple parable, where their pride would lead them."When you are invited,go and take the lowest placeso that when the host comes to you he may say,'My friend, move up to a higher position.'Then you will enjoy the esteem of your companions at the table.For every one who exalts himself will be humbled,but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."Also, "When you hold a banquet,invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you.For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."The takeaway from today's reading is clear: Our Lord invites us to conduct our affairs with full humility.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!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• ⁠August 31, 2025, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

    Friends of the Rosary,In today's reading (Matthew 25:14-30), the Lord reveals through the parable of the talents, when the master entrusted his money to three of his servants, giving to one five talents, to a second, two, and to a third, one.“For to everyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”In addition, Christ Jesus tells us that the lazy and useless servants will be thrown away into darkness, “where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.”In this parable drawn from the world of business, the first two servants multiplied the talents, but the third one buried his talent.The talents are everything that we've received from God—life, health, being, and powers. They are meant to be grown and multiplied for the Kingdom. Not to cling to them, not to wither, but to bear fruit. That's how we have a true life!Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!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

    Friends of the Rosary,Today, August 29, is the Memorial of the Passion of St. John the Baptist, Christ's precursor.On June 24, we commemorated his birthday, and today we honor the anniversary of his martyrdom.Besides our Lord and our Lady, St. John the Baptist is the only one whose birth and death are celebrated.Today's Gospel relates the dramatic circumstances of his execution by King Herod.He had the courage to blame Herod to his face for his illegal union with his sister-in-law Herodias, whose husband was still alive.Herodias obtained the beheading of the saint through her daughter, Salome.John suffered a long imprisonment and martyrdom as a witness to our Redeemer. His persecutors demanded that he keep silent about the truth. But John shed his blood for the truth; he died for Christ. By his own suffering, he demonstrated that Christ would also suffer.He preached the freedom of heavenly peace, bearing witness to the Light of life, yet was thrown into prison by ungodly men. He knew eternal joy would be his reward.The apostle Paul rightly said: "You have been granted the privilege not only to believe in Christ but also to suffer for his sake."Christ's gift to his chosen ones is to suffer for him: "The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed in us."Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!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• ⁠August 29, 2025, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

    Friends of the Rosary,While we continue praying for the two children killed, the injured, and their families, at a shooting during a Mass held at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, by a demonic gunman, today, August 28, the Catholic Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Augustine (354-430).Born at Tagaste, North Africa, the son of St. Monica had a life of excesses until St. Ambrose converted him.The prayer and tears of his mother, the sanctity of Milan's Bishop Ambrose, the book of St. Anthony the hermit, and the sacred Scriptures brought him to conversion (metanoia), sealed by baptism on Easter night 387, with his mother as witness.Returning to Tagaste, he distributed his goods to the poor and was ordained a priest. He was appointed bishop of Hippo at the age of 41 and became one of the most influential theologians, particularly in clarifying the doctrines of the Trinity, grace, and the Church.Augustine, numbered among the four great Doctors of the Western Church, was a prolific writer and a saint with an inexhaustible spirituality. He wrote the Confessions and The City of God, a worthy memorial to his genius, a philosophy of history.Augustine's episcopal life was filled with battles against heretics. From his encounter with Pelagius, who denied the necessity of grace, he earned the surname "Doctor of grace."As an emblem, Christian art accords him a burning heart to symbolize the ardent love of God which permeates all his writings.Founder of canonical life in common, Augustinian monks and the Hermits honor him as their spiritual father.He famously said, "Restless is the heart until it rests in God."“The life and witness of St. Augustine reminds us that each of us has received gifts and talents from God and that our vocation, our fulfillment, and our joy come from giving them back in loving service to God and others,” Pope Leo XIV, an Augustinian, said today.Not surprisingly, his papal motto, “In Illo uno, unum” (“In the one Christ, we are one”), comes from a homily by St. Augustine.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!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• August 28, 2025, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

    Friends of the Rosary,Today, August 27, the Catholic Church commemorates the feast day of St. Monica (333-387). Through prayer and tears, she gave the great Augustine to the Church of God and earned for herself a place of honor in the Communion of Saints. We also celebrate today the Feast of the Seven Joys of the Blessed Virgin Mary, also known as the Franciscan Crown Rosary, as well as the Feast of Our Lady of Health of the Sick.Born in Tagaste, North Africa, Monica was given in marriage to a pagan named Patricius, a man of loose morals. She was the mother of three children, Navigius, Perpetua, who later became a nun, and Augustine, her problem child. When Augustine was nineteen years old, his father Patricius died; by patience and prayer, Monica had obtained the conversion of her husband. After her husband's death, Monica devoted herself to good works and praying for Augustine, “Lively in hope” and “assiduous in weeping.” Monica's tears and prayers for her son were incessant. She followed him to Milan, where Augustine went to teach, and there continued to storm heaven with her prayers for her son. Finally, she had the joy of witnessing St. Ambrose baptize Augustine in 387, at the age of thirty-two. She died in Ostia, as she and her son discoursed about the joys of the blessed.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• August 27, 2025, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

The image was then brought to Poland in the 14th century.The image of Our Lady of Częstochowa is associated with several miraculous events.After the liberation of Poland from Nazi occupation, 1.5 million people gathered at Jasna Góra in 1945 to rededicate the nation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.Our Lady's intercession is credited with the liberation of Poland from Communist rule.Pope John Paul II visited the image of Our Lady of Częstochowa four times during his pontificate.The holy painting enshrined at Częstochowa has been a lighthouse of hope during centuries of hardship and defeat. Today, the Shrine of Our Lady of Częstochowa attracts millions of people who love and honor Our Lady's intercession.It is known as the “Black Madonna” because of the soot residue that discolors the painting, a result of centuries of votive lights and candles burning in front of it.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• ⁠August 26, 2025, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

    Friends of the Rosary,As we read today (Luke 13:22-30), the Lord Jesus was asked if only a few people would be saved. He answered,"Strive to enter through the narrow gate,for many, I tell you, will attempt to enterbut will not be strong enough.”All those who accept Christ and follow his words and commandments will enter the Kingdom. God the Father invites all to heaven, providing all the grace and help necessary. But, as we enjoy free will, salvation is in our hands. If we abuse freedom, fail to exercise self-restraint, and make wrong choices, the doors of eternity will be closed.We should have sought his mercy and his forgiveness during our earthly life, and he would have granted it.Acquaintance with Christ won't be enough. Hearing the doctrine and refusing to be true disciples will exclude us from salvation.Each one of us stands or falls by our own mode of life during our term on earth.We deal with God's mercy while alive on earth. He forgives any sin if we truly repent and resolve to correct these faults.Every man who lives in God's grace will die in God's grace and be numbered among the saved.The man who lives habitually in sin and refuses to amend his life will die in his sinful state and therefore exclude himself from eternal salvation.We have free will, and can choose to pass that final examination or to fail it on the day of judgment.Eternity, life after death, depends on our choice.

He studied grammar, poetry, literature, rhetoric, dialectics, Scripture, and theology.He also held a profound devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, continually seeking her intercession and seeing her as our Mediatrix and as the Star of the Sea who guides us through the darkness of life. The prayer of the Memorare is attributed to him.He wrote De Consideratione, and many of his sermons are excerpted in the Breviary.Notably, his treatise “On Loving God” articulated the reasons we should love God to an immeasurable degree. In all of his works, Abbot Bernard sought to teach to draw our hearts to conversion and love. He regularly emphasized the personal nature of God as revealed in Jesus Christ, our call to mystical union with Him, the need for humility, the benefits of asceticism, and the central role that the Blessed Virgin Mary must play in our lives.He was a theologian, contemplative, and mystic whose central goals were to love God and to draw others into that same love.Many miracles were attributed to him.
