Friends of the Rosary,In today's Gospel (John 16:20-23), Jesus promises us that after grief, our hearts will rejoice, and then we won't question him.He said to his disciples:"You will weep and mourn,while the world rejoices;you will grieve, but your grief will become joy."Our Lord also promised:"Whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you."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 YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Friends of the Rosary,Today is the liturgical Solemnity of the Ascension, a feast that takes place on the fortieth day after Easter Sunday. Since it falls on a Thursday, in many countries and ecclesiastical provinces in the U.S., this Solemnity is transferred to the Seventh Sunday of Easter, which is June 1.The ecclesiastical provinces of Boston, Hartford, New York, Newark, Omaha, and Philadelphia celebrate the solemnity today.With his Ascension into heaven, the presence of the “historical Christ” comes to an end, and the presence of the Body of Christ, the Church, is inaugurated.Today is also the Optional Memorial of Pope St. Paul VI (1897-1978), who presided over the completion of the Second Vatican Council.In (Mt 28:16-20) we read, “The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them. When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted. Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” The Acts of the Apostles (1:11) indicates that Jesus “was taken up”. The disciples were “filled with joy” (see Lk. 24:52), as with Jesus now ascended, the gates of Heaven were open. The same destiny awaits us, since he is the first fruit (see 1 Cor. 15:20).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 YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Friends of the Rosary,Like He is doing today, at that time in Galilee, Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit to guide the Church through time, as we read in the Gospel (John 16:12–15):"I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth."We all require a divine guide, an advocate, through whom the words of the Father are to be understood.The Holy Spirit reflects the inner life of God and the fullness of life, and the Advocate runs — or should be running — the dynamic of the Church's life across space and time."The Spirit of truth will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you. Everything that the Father has is mine; for this reason, I told you that he will take from what is mine and declare it to you."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 YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Friends of the Rosary,Today, in the Gospel's main reading (John 16:5-11), Christ Jesus says that after He goes — and this week we celebrate His ascension — “the Advocate will come to you.”At that time, the Holy Spirit fed the first apostles and Christians when they faced the challenge of proclaiming the Gospel to a pagan world.Today, the Sanctifier helps us in our ecclesial communion, built “on our knees, through prayer and constant commitment to conversion,” as Pope Leo XIV said this Sunday during his first homily as bishop of Rome at the Basilica of St. John Lateran.“This is no easy matter; it calls for much patience and mutual listening,” the Pontiff emphasized.The Spirit sustains us and shows us the way to follow. “It assures us that we are not alone in making our decisions in life,” the pope affirmed.Listening to God's voice is the most important thing. After all, all we do—or should be doing—is the work of Christ and not our own.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 YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Friends of the Rosary,Today, Memorial Day in the U.S., is the Feast Day of St. Philip Neri (1515-1595), a gracious, cheerful priest who was Rome's apostle of the sixteenth century, one of the Eternal City's patron saints.He was a great educator of youth, spent whole nights in prayer, had a great devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, and burned with an unbounded love for mankind.As a confessor, he was in great demand; among his penitents were St. Ignatius of Loyola and Charles Borromeo.St. Philip founded the Congregation of the Oratory, a society of secular clergy without religious vows.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 YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Friends of the Rosary,Christ Jesus, the icon of God the Father, revealed to us the eternal truth of the universe.As we read today in the Gospel (John 15:12-17), he said to his disciples:“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.”“You are my friends if you do what I command you.I no longer call you slaves,because a slave does not know what his master is doing.I have called you friends,because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father.”A true friend is someone who has seen us at our worst and still loves us. Jesus saw us at our very worst, as we crucified him, and loved us anyway, returning in forgiving love.It's a life of friendship with God.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.

Friends of the Rosary,Today is the Optional Memorial of St. Rita of Cascia (1386-1457), an Italian saint known for her patience, cheerfulness, and union by prayer with God.After eighteen years of married life, St. Rita lost, by death, her husband and her two sons.Rita's parents gave her in marriage, at the age of eighteen, to an impulsive, irascible, and abusive man. Two sons were born to them, each inheriting their father's quarrelsome temperament.She finally won her husband's heart through her sanctity and prayers, and he converted. However, soon he was murdered by an old enemy. Her sons said they would kill the assassin in revenge. Rita prayed without ceasing, and the children converted, abandoning their impulse. Immediately after, they both died of an illness.Afterward, Rita was called to the religious state. She professed the Rule of St. Augustine at Cascia, her native town, in central Italy.She died May 22, 1456, and both in life and after death has worked many miracles. She was not canonized until 1900 by Pope Leo XIII.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.

Friends of the Rosary,In today's Gospel reading (John 15:1–8), Jesus declares that he is the vine, and we are the branches who must remain in him. To unleash the spiritual power we are created for, we must participate in Christ's divine life."I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower.He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit,and everyone that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit.You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you.Remain in me, as I remain in you.Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its ownunless it remains on the vine,so neither can you unless you remain in me.”Our God does not want merely worshipers but followers and participants:The Logos became flesh, so we will allow the divine energy to come to birth in us. In other words, God became human so that humans might become God.“I am the vine, you are the branches.Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit,because without me you can do nothing.Anyone who does not remain in mewill be thrown out like a branch and wither;people will gather them and throw them into a fireand they will be burned.If you remain in me and my words remain in you,ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you.By this is my Father glorified,that you bear much fruit and become my disciples."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.

Friends of the Rosary,The world, under the rule of darkness, doesn't provide any peace, joy, or hope. Only the Son of Man does.As we read today (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."In the same passage, the Lord is revealing that "the ruler of the world is coming." However, “He has no power over me.”We have no reason to fear and be concerned, as the King of Peace is dwelling with us until the end of time.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.

Friends of the Rosary,We often wonder how to love the Lord Jesus or increase our love for Him.The Son of Man provides an answer in the reading today (John 14:21-26).He said to his disciples:"Whoever has my commandments and observes themis the one who loves me.Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father,and I will love him and reveal myself to him.""Whoever loves me will keep my word,and my Father will love him,and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.Whoever does not love me does not keep my words."Knowing our inconsistency and weaknesses, Christ Jesus gave us another key — in reality, a gift: the Holy Spirit."I have told you this while I am with you.The Advocate, the Holy Spiritwhom the Father will send in my name--he will teach you everythingand remind you of all that I told you."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.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, Fifth Sunday of Easter, at Mass' Second Reading, at the end of the Book of Revelation (21:1-5a), John describes the Heavenly Jerusalem, where we will joyfully dwell with Christ Jesus forever, once the old order - “the former heaven and earth” - has passed away.As John saw, the New Jerusalem, the new holy city, will  be “a new heaven and a new earth.”In the main reading of today's Mass (John 13:31-33a, 34-35), Jesus gives us a new commandment: “love one another.”“As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.This is how all will know that you are my disciples,if you have love for one another.”At the Last Supper, Jesus told the Eleven: “As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. All will know you are my disciples if you love one another.”Christ Jesus loved us first, and his love makes it possible for us to love like him in turn.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.

If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.” When we pray in the name of Jesus, we are relying on his intimacy with the Father, trusting that the Father will listen to The Son pleads on our behalf to the Father, and His words are the truth. Beyond petty appeals, we must confidently direct our petitions in Christ Jesus, knowing they will be granted at the right time as they result in the expansion of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. And remember, the Father delights in hearing us call upon him through his Son.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.

Mary showed Simon, a member of the Carmelite order, a brown scapular.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, May 15, is the Feast of Isidore the Farmer, spouse of another saint, his own wife, St Maria de la Cabeza, two holy souls of the twelfth century in Madrid, Spain.They devoutly attended Mass every day before their daily labors. They served the poor in the city slums, and angels were said to accompany St. Isidore in his work.Isidore and Maria de la Cabeza had a son, who died as a child.Shortly after his death on May 15, 1130, miracles were attributed to his intercession. In 1615, King Philip III of Spain, in danger of death, had Isidore's relics brought to his bedside. He was miraculously healed and petitioned for Isidore's formal canonization in 1622.He is part of the group known in Spain as " the five saints, " along with Ignatius of Loyola, Francis Xavier, Teresa of Avila, and Philip Neri.Isidore is the patron saint of laborers, farmers, and several Spanish cities.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.

Prayers of all would result in favor of Matthias.He brought the Gospel to Judea, Cappadocia (present-day Turkey), the coasts of the Caspian Sea, and Ethiopia.Matthias is often pictured with an ax, which suggests that he was beheaded.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.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, May 13, the Catholic Church celebrates the feast of Our Lady of Fatima, or Our Lady of the Holy Rosary of Fátima (Nossa Senhora de Fátima).This feast commemorates the Blessed Virgin Mary's first of six appearances to three Portuguese shepherd children in 1917.During the apparitions, Mary revealed herself as Our Lady of the Rosary and conveyed messages about the importance of prayer and penance.The message of Fatima includes a call to conversion of heart, repentance from sin, love and trust in God, and a dedication to the Blessed Virgin Mary, especially through the daily prayer of the Rosary.On May 13th, 1917, the siblings Francisco and Jacinta Marto, aged 9 and 7 respectively, with their cousin Lucia Dos Santos, aged 10, saw inside a cloud the figure of a woman dressed in white who bore in her hand a rosary.Our Lady of Fatima asked them to return to that place in the following months, always on the 13th day.At those meetings, Our Lady of Fatima revealed startling facts to the children who were to attend, such as the end of the First World War and the threat of a second war, which was even more terrible. Other revelations concerned the political order of the world and the advent of Communist Russia.Mary also exhorted the three shepherd children: “Pray, pray very much. Make sacrifices for sinners. Many souls go to hell, because no one is willing to help them with sacrifice.”“In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph,” she reassured the children.In 1930, the Catholic Church recognized the supernatural nature of Our Lady of Fatima's apparitions. In her honor, a sanctuary was erected, and faithful worldwide still visit it as a pilgrimage destination.Today is also the traditional commemoration of Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Saint Peter Julian Eymard gave this title to our Blessed Mother in May 1868 to honor her relationship to the Holy Eucharist and to place her before us as a model in our devotion to the Blessed Sacrament.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.

Friends of the Rosary,Christ Jesus is the gate to life. As we read today (John 10:1-10), the Messiah said to the Pharisees,"I am the gate for the sheep.All who came before me are thieves and robbers,but the sheep did not listen to them.I am the gate.Whoever enters through me will be saved,and will come in and go out and find pasture.A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy;I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly."Today, we honor the fourth-century martyr St. Pancras. Like Saint Agnes, Pancras is remembered for winning the martyr's crown while still a teenager.Saint Bernard evoked his sacrifice: “He has totally emptied himself, and he did not allow himself to be concerned with things he knew could never satisfy him. He knew in whose image he had been made, of what greatness he is capable.”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.

Friends of the Rosary,Yesterday, Pope Leo XIV celebrated his first mass as successor of Peter with the Cardinals in Rome, in the Sistine Chapel, where he was elected as the 267th Pope on the fourth ballot Thursday afternoon.In his heartfelt homily, the new Pope called for always better cultivating a personal relationship with Christ and insisted that life lacks meaning without faith.“We are called to bear witness to our joyful faith in Christ the Saviour.”“My brother Cardinals, I invite you to reflect on the marvels the Lord has done, the blessings that the Lord continues to pour out on all of us through the Ministry of Peter.”“Our Saviour alone reveals the face of the Father.”“God, to make Himself close and accessible to men and women, revealed Himself to us in the trusting eyes of a child, in the lively mind of a young person, and in the mature features of a man, finally appearing to His disciples after the Resurrection with His glorious body.”“He showed us a model of human holiness that we can all imitate, together with the promise of an eternal destiny that transcends all our limits and abilities.”“He chose us before we were formed in our mothers' wombs, reborn in the waters of Baptism and, surpassing our limitations and with no merit of our own, brought here and sent forth from here, so that the Gospel might be proclaimed to every creature.”“Even today, there are many settings in which the Christian faith is considered absurd, meant for the weak and unintelligent. Settings where other securities are preferred, like technology, money, success, power, or pleasure.”“These are contexts where it is not easy to preach the Gospel and bear witness to its truth, where believers are mocked, opposed, despised, or at best tolerated and pitied.”“Yet, precisely for this reason, they are the places where our missionary outreach is desperately needed.”“A lack of faith is often tragically accompanied by the loss of meaning in life, the neglect of mercy, appalling violations of human dignity, the crisis of the family, and so many other wounds that afflict our society.”“There are many settings in which Jesus, although appreciated as a man, is reduced to a kind of charismatic leader or superman.”“Not only among non-believers but also among many baptized Christians end up living, at this level, in a state of practical atheism.”“This is the world entrusted to us, a world in which, as Pope Francis taught us so many times, we are called to bear witness to our joyful faith in Christ the Saviour.”“Therefore, it is essential that we repeat, with Peter: ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”“It is essential to do this, first of all, in our personal relationship with the Lord, in our commitment to a ‘daily journey of conversion.”“Then as a Church, we are to do the same, experiencing together our fidelity to the Lord and bringing the Good News to all.”“I say this first of all to myself, as the Successor of Peter, as I begin my mission as Bishop of Rome, according to the well-known expression of Saint Ignatius of Antioch, ‘to preside in charity over the universal Church.”“May God grant me this grace, today and always, through the loving intercession of Mary, Mother of the Church.”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.

Looking for a way to explain the Conclave to your kids? Katie Bogner has a book to help, and we discuss the Church's Apostolic hierarchy with Matthew Minerd.

We look ahead to the Conclave with Doug Keck and discuss the lie of totalitarianism with Daniel Mahoney.

We contrast St. Joseph the Worker and the Marxist vision of the worker with Paul Kengor, and discuss the theology of the papacy with Dr, Michael Dauphinais.

In this Sunday's Gospel, Jesus commands Peter to throw his nets over the other side of his boat – and they are instantly filled. WE unpack the readings with Rob Corzine and discuss the unintended consequences of the Reformation with Dr. Brad Gregory.

Friends of the Rosary,American Cardinal Robert Prevost was chosen as the new pope today. On the second day of the conclave at the Vatican, the cardinal electors chose Chicago-born Cardinal Robert Prevost as the new pope, Leo XIV.Christ Jesus declares in today's Gospel (John 6:44-51), “I'm the bread of life.”“I am the living bread that came down from heaven;whoever eats this bread will live forever;and the bread that I will giveis my Flesh for the life of the world.”With the living bread of Christ — the heavenly food of the Eucharist — we become alive in a way that we were not before. And since it comes down from heaven, we might see a glimpse of heaven.“Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me.Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God;he has seen the Father.”We need “the bread that comes down from heaven” to be alive on earth and prepared for eternity.Heaven is the realm of God, and this is a realm of love. This is what God has prepared for those who love him.In the Eucharist, the sacrifice of Christ is made present. And the Eucharist is the participation in love between the Father and the Son.[The Eucharist, or Holy Communion, is the central mystery and cornerstone of the Catholic faith. It's a sacred meal at which we receive the body and blood of Jesus Christ.]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.

Friends of the Rosary,At that time, as we read today (John 6:30-35), the crowd asked Christ Jesus to give them the bread of life from Heaven. And the Lord said to them:“I am the bread of life;Whoever comes to me will never hunger,and whoever believes in me will never thirst.”Also today, the Chruch commemorates St. Peter Nolasco (1182-1258), a French saint who, after participating in the Crusades against the Albigensians, used his inheritance to free Christian prisoners held by the Moors.One night, while Peter Nolasco was praying, the Blessed Virgin appeared and told him to establish a religious order to deliver Christians held in bondage. Together with St. Raymond of Penafort and James I, King of Aragon, he founded the Order of Our Lady of Mercy (Mercedarians) for the ransoming of Christians. A total of 890 Christians would regain their liberty.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.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, as the conclave has started in Rome, we pray for those gathered in Rome, especially the cardinal electors, who will soon elect St. Peter's newest successor, the 267th Pope.They will elect the man who will become our next Pope, the successor of Pope Francis, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.As they enter the Sistine Chapel, they will sing the “Veni Creator Spiritus” (“Come Holy Spirit, Creator Blest”).The proceedings will take place in absolute secrecy, with the 133 cardinal electors sequestered mainly from the outside world until a new supreme pontiff is chosen.The Sistine Chapel [in the picture above], located in the heart of the Vatican, is surrounded by the beauty of frescoes by Michelangelo, Pietro Perugino, Sandro Botticelli, and Domenico Ghirlandaio. It has witnessed every papal election since 1492.Also, today in the Gospel (John 6:35-40), the Lord says, Everyone who believes in the Son will have eternal life, and I shall raise him up on the last day.“I am the bread of life;Whoever comes to me will never hunger,and whoever believes in me will never thirst.”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.

The IPS Morning Deprogram5/5/25 The IPS Morning Deprogram is planned to be a steady program beginning in 2025, operating in the mornings, with evening open phone sessions complementing it. The purpose of the Morning D program is to set the stage for later discussions. The host utilizes automations and AI agents in their workflow. The program is described as a "work in progress," not yet in its "final form".The core focus of the program is media analysis and propaganda analysis, covering information from both news and entertainment. The host positions the program's approach as philosophical, detached, and distinct from conspiracy theorists, mainstream news, activists, or QAnon. The goal is not to "wake people up" or "fight the deep state".The session begins with a discussion of a clip from an individual who worked in security for 15 years, commenting on the Trump assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July. The security expert suggests the attempt was staged because standard security protocol dictates keeping the target on the ground and shielded, not standing them upright for a "photo op". The host agrees that the event was staged but argues that the security expert's perspective is limited because he is "in the box" of mainstream mediation and mixes "real" and "fake" elements. This mixing of real and fake is labeled as "confusion," "MSM Plus," or a "normie take".The host contends that when someone believes an event is partially real (e.g., believing a shooter or victim died) while also seeing signs of fakery, they often invent complex explanations or conspiracy theories to reconcile the inconsistencies. Examples given include the idea that a "degenerate kid" was hired to shoot and miss but accidentally killed someone, or questioning how an AP photographer captured the bullet.The host's approach is informed disbelief and suspending judgment when consuming media. The principle is that "if there's any hint of fakery body count goes to zero" until an actual crime is proven. This contrasts with "conspiracy theorists" or "false flaggers" who might believe an event is a conspiracy but still accept that people died.A significant theme is the critique of the left-right political paradigm, which the host views as both sides colluding against the masses. Events are often presented as "bifurcated PSYOPs," where both sides agree the event happened but blame the other side for the cause. Examples include helicopter crashes (blaming DEI vs. funding cuts) and mass shootings (blaming gun culture vs. antidepressants).The session also discusses recent events framed as potential psyops or theater. The Austin Metcalfe stabbing and the Shiloh Hendricks incident are presented as being put in the same conversation, described as a "proxy race war" engineered psychological operation, potentially timed for the summer. The GoFundMe accounts associated with these incidents are seen as part of building a "race war narrative".Predictive programming and synchronicity between media/entertainment and real-world events are explored. Examples include parallels between Donald Trump and Hulk Hogan (blading technique), Nick Fuentes and David Duke, Elon Musk and a character in "the madness", Laura Loomer and a character named Laura Jennings, and the timing and imagery of the Trump assassination attempt aligning with scenes in Tim Burton's Beetlejuice. The Ave Maria performance at a Trump rally 84 days after the alleged shooting is highlighted as a parallel to the song sung by the Riddler in The Batman. The fact that both alleged Trump shooters appeared in BlackRock commercials is noted, which is seen by others as evidence of a "deep state" plot but by the host as evidence of individuals being within the "PSYOP entertainment complex" or "the club".Religious and symbolic themes are discussed, such as Pope Francis and Klaus Schwab stepping down on the same day at age 88, a number associated with twins and duality. The host questions if Pope Francis is truly dead or if the death was staged. Trump sharing an AI video portraying himself as Pope is mentioned, along with the QAnon belief that Trump is the new Pope. The Aramaic word "Abracadabra," meaning "I create as I speak," is discussed in the context of spellcraft, media, and shaping worldviews.Critiques are leveled against certain conspiracy theories, including the idea that reality is a simulation. The host argues that simulation theory is a "psyop" and "cognitive sabotage" designed to undermine the credibility of those who see through media manipulation. The host distinguishes their position, stating that reality exists and is objective, predictable, testable, and reliable, while media is not. Believing reality is fake because media is fake is seen as confusing the map with the territory.The host also critiques "truthers" who dismiss fake events entirely without analysis, viewing this as a form of "gaslighting" or "damage control" because fake events are precisely

Friends of the Rosary,After Jesus had fed the five thousand men, his disciples saw him walking on the sea.Later, the Lord Jesus promises “food that endures for eternal life”, while inviting the crowd to believe in him, as we read in the Gospel today (John 6:22-29).“Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you,”“This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent.”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.

Friends of the Rosary, Today, the Third Sunday of Easter, the main reading in the Gospel (St. John, 21:1-19) recounts the Risen Christ's appearance and the conferring of the Primacy of Peter.This promise that Simon would be the foundation, the source of strength and unity, in the new Christian community, was made factual on the occasion described here by John.His fellow Apostles and the first Christians recognized this position of authority, and it is evident in almost every page of Acts, the book that describes the infant Church.In today's reading, the apostles' fishing expedition is also highlighted as a symbol of the Church (the barque of Peter) across space and time, with its apostolic task of seeking souls.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.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of the Apostles Philip and James, both named in the Eucharistic Prayer of the Roman Canon. They suffered, were persecuted, and martyred, but they trusted in God.As we read in the Gospel today, we, too, must have confidence in God and not be troubled by our adversities. There are many mansions in our Father's house, and if we follow His instructions, Christ will come at the end of our lives and take us to Himself.Like Sts. Peter and Andrew, St. Philip was a fisherman from Bethsaida, in Galilee. According to tradition, he was crucified at Hierapolis in Phrygia, where he had preached the Gospel. Christ declared to St. Philip, "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father... I am the Father and the Father is in me" (Jn 14:8, 11).St. James, often called St. James the Less because St. Mark refers to him as "the younger" (Mk 15:40), was a cousin of Our Lord. He was favored by an appearance of the Risen Christ (I Cor. 15:7). As bishop of Jerusalem, St. James wrote an Epistle of the New Testament.When he refused to deny the Divinity of Christ, the Jews threw him from the Temple terrace and then stoned him to death. He was ninety-six years old and had governed the Church for thirty years in a holy manner.As he lay there half dead, with legs broken by the fall, he lifted his hands toward heaven and prayed to God for the salvation of his enemies, saying: Lord, forgive them for they know not what they do! 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.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, the Catholic Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Athanasius (295-373), Bishop of Alexandria and a champion of the faith as defined by the Council of Nicea in 325 in the battle against the heresy of Arianism.He was subjected to persecution for defending Christ's divinity and was sent into exile from his see five times.Everyone esteemed him as a virtuous, holy man, an ascetic, a true bishop.The Divine Providence preserved him through a lifetime of trial and danger."You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved," Jesus said to the Twelve, as we read today (Matthew 10:22-25)"When they persecute you in one town, flee to another. Amen, I say to you, you will not finish the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes."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.

Friends of the Rosary,On May 1st, we honor St. Joseph the Worker, while the secular world celebrates International Workers' Day.Pope Pius XII established the feast in 1955 to honor the dignity of labor and provide a model and protector for all workers.He countered socialist ideology and emphasized the Christian understanding of work as a means of providing for one's family and contributing to the greater good of society.As a carpenter, Joseph supported his family. By the daily labor in his shop, 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.He is viewed as a model of dignity and value in human labor. He is the patron saint of workers.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.

Friends of the Rosary,Today is the Memorial Day of St. Pius V, a 16th-century Dominican friar and Pope, known for his intense devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and his promotion of the Holy Rosary.Often referred to as the "Pope of the Rosary," he established the Feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary in 1573, commemorating the victory at Lepanto, and wrote a papal document solidifying the Rosary as a powerful prayer tool.Its document, the Papal Bull "Consueverunt Romani Pontifices," issued in 1569, confirmed the indulgences granted to those who prayed the Rosary.St. Pius V actively encouraged the use of the Rosary, calling upon Christians across Europe to pray it fervently. He lived a life of holiness and reform.In 1572, when he passed away, his final prayer was, "Lord, increase my sufferings but also my patience."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.

Friends of the Rosary,Today is the Memorial of St. Catherine of Siena (1347-1380),  Doctor of the Church and one of the leading figures of the fourteenth century.She influenced the pope to return to Rome from Avignon and had extraordinary influence over popes, kings, sovereign cities, and crowds of disciples.This Italian saint gained significant influence through her life of prayer, extraordinary mortifications, spiritual writings, and her continual appeals for civil peace and the reform of the Church."I have placed you in the midst of your brothers," Christ told her, "so that you can do for them what you cannot do for Me.Since her first vision at the age of six, Catherine had entirely belonged to God.One day, while she 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, who placed on it a ring that was visible to Catherine but never to other people.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 spiritual insight.After a prolonged and mysterious agony, during which she was paralyzed from the waist downward, Catherine died, at the age of thirty-three, on April 29, 1380.She famously said, "All the way to heaven is heaven because He said, 'I am the Way.'"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.
