Friends of the Rosary,Today, November 21, the Church of Christ celebrates the Memorial of the Presentation of Mary.On September 8, we celebrated the Birthday of Our Lady, and on September 12, the Holy Name.With the Presentation of Mary in the Temple, we complete this Marian cycle, which is parallel with the first three feasts of our Lord in the liturgical calendar: the birth of Christ or Christmas (December 25), the Holy Name of Jesus (January 3), and His Presentation in the Temple (February 2).The historical background of the Presentation of Mary is found in the Protoevangel of St. James (ch. 4:1ff).After an angel had revealed her pregnancy, Anna vowed her future child, Mary, to the Lord. At the age of three, Mary was transferred to the temple, and here, she received her nourishment from the hand of an angel.On this feast day, we meditate on the mystery of Mary's temporary dwelling in the sanctuary of the Old Covenant as a preparation for the approaching season of Advent.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,We reflected yesterday on this teaching of the Lord:"To everyone who has, more will be given,but from the one who has not,even what he has will be taken away."It's amazing how Christ Jesus draws parallels between business lessons like investment, risk, and return, and a virtuous life.Bishop Barron explains, “The reason is clear. God exists in gift form. Therefore, if you want his life in you, you have to learn to give it away.”Everything good we've received from God is a gift: life, talents, virtues.If we cling to them, they don't grow; they wither away.When we invest, we take a risk, and as we trust in Him, we will dramatically increase our wealth.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, as we read in the Gospel of Luke 19:11-28, Christ Jesus explained, through a parable, how God bestows his grace to free us from our own mediocre expectations because of our weaknesses.This way, we avoid being paralyzed by self-absorption, fear, and an incorrect view of the Divinity, like the third servant. We must always trust in God's goodness and mercy.Today's parable narrates how a nobleman gave gold coins to their servants, asking them to engage in trade. They duplicated the earnings. But one of them stored the given gold coin and did nothing, not even generating interest from the bank.Then the Lord said:"Take the gold coin from himand give it to the servant who has ten.'(…)To everyone who has, more will be given,but from the one who has not,even what he has will be taken away."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, November 18, is the Memorial of the Dedication of the Basilicas of Sts. Peter and Paul, the two great Roman basilicas of St. Peter at the Vatican, on the site of the tomb of the Prince of the Apostles, and of St. Paul-Outside-the-Walls, situated at the other end of the city on the Ostian Way, where the Apostle of the Gentiles was sacrificed.These two basilicas in the Eternal City mark the sites of each apostle's martyrdom and are a testament to the heritage and glory of Christendom. They also connote the heavenly JerusalemFrom all lands, Christians made pilgrimages to them as to they are rock of faith and the foundation of the Church.In the U.S., we also celebrate the feast of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne, Virgin (1769-1852). Born in Grenoble, France, St. Rose Philippine Duchesne was a Visitation nun who was sent to the Louisiana Territory as a missionary. She founded a boarding school for the daughters of pioneers near St. Louis and established the first free school west of the Missouri River.

Friends of the Rosary,From the earliest days until the present, the nascent Church of Christ has been targeted by the enemies of the faith.The Church will announce, until the end of time, that the old world is passing away, that a new world of love, nonviolence, and life is emerging.The announcement that the current world is passing away and a new Kingdom of love, peace, and true life, as we read yesterday, infuriates the people of sin even more. They try to “kill the messenger”, reacting with violent and ideological resistance to the establishment of God's kingdom.An example is the twentieth century, the bloodiest on record, and the one with the most martyrs.We detach from this world that is passing away, with our eyes fixed in heaven, the world that will never end.And we proclaim the truth of the Gospel, with the rising of the Lord, knowing we will enjoy “a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute,” as Our Lord has promised to 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,In today's Mass — the last of our liturgical year, as next Sunday will be the feast day of the Kingship of Christ — we are reminded that this world will come to an end one day, although we do not know when or how it will occur (St. Luke 21:5-19).The end will be followed immediately by the general judgment that will seal our eternal fate. Christ will come in power and glory to judge the whole human race.Each one will receive the sentence he merited while on earth. The righteous will enter with Him into eternal glory. The wicked will go to their place of suffering, sorrow, and remorse.The announcement of the final judgment should encourage us to behave as disciples of Christ, in a state of grace, in the friendship of God, not fearing death.It might also happen that this world will come to an end for each one of us when we draw our last breath. The question is, how will we stand in God's sight when that moment comes?Christ calls us to be confident in his provident care of us: "Not a hair on your head will be destroyed. By your perseverance, you will secure your lives."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,Lord Jesus explains in today's reading (Matthew 13:47-5) how the end of the present time will unfold.He said to the crowds:"The Kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea,which collects fish of every kind.When it is full they haul it ashoreand sit down to put what is good into buckets.What is bad they throw away.Thus it will be at the end of the age.  The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteousand throw them into the fiery furnace,where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth."It's how divine justice will be applied after divine mercy has been rejected by many. Today, we have a unique opportunity to commit ourselves to a life in grace. This way, we will be in the righteous group of people. 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 second coming of Christ Jesus will be like the time of Noah, as He revealed to his disciples and we read today (Luke 17:26–37):"As it was in the days of Noah,so it will be in the days of the Son of Man;they were eating and drinking,marrying and giving in marriage up to the daythat Noah entered the ark,and the flood came and destroyed them all."The flood was the result of humanity's sin. His refusal to properly steward the creation and the worship of false deities.God then sent, in a salvation operation, a righteous man named Noah, who built a giant ark in the midst of the desert. It was the Ark of the Covenant.Animals of all species, as well as Noah and his family, came on board.Noah would become a precursor of Christ and the ark of Noah as the womb of the Blessed Mother and later as the Universal Church.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, on Veterans Day (USA) and Remembrance Day (Canada), we remember in our prayers those who have served in the U.S. armed forces. Veterans Day is set aside for honoring military veterans in America.Also, today, the Catholic Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Martin of Tours (and also remembers St. Mennas of Egypt (d. 300), an Egyptian soldier and martyr who was put to death during Diocletian's reign.Martin was a soldier before being a bishop and a saint — a soldier of God!He was born of pagan parents in Pannonia, present-day Hungary, and became a catechumen of his own initiative at the age of ten. He joined the Roman army and demonstrated his faith to his fellow soldiers through his acts of charity until his resignation.Martin founded a monastic community in Ligugé, France, on land given to him by Saint Hilary of Poitiers. In 372, he was elected Bishop of Tours. He preached tirelessly and with fervor. After his death in 397, Martin's Vita, the story of his life, spread throughout Europe.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, November 10, we honor Pope and Doctor of the Church St. Leo the Great (400-461), who vigorously defended the unity of the Church, and during whose pontificate the Council of Chalcedon (451) defined that Christ is one divine person with two natures, divine and human.In the reading of the Gospel (Luke 17:1-6), we listen to the Son of God talking to his disciples,“If your brother sins, rebuke him;and if he repents, forgive him.And if he wrongs you seven times in one dayand returns to you seven times saying, ‘I am sorry,'you should forgive him.”And 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.”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, Sunday, November 9, we celebrate the Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome, the cathedral of the Bishop of Rome, the Pope, and the oldest church in the West.Built during the time of Emperor Constantine in the fourth century, when Christians were granted freedom to practice their religion. This Cathedral/Basilica is called “mother and head of all the churches of the city and the world.”The solemnity recalls that the temple of stones is a symbol of the living Church, the Christian community,Signifying that we, the faithful, are “living stones,” St. Paul wrote, “You are God's building,” “Holy is God's temple, which you are” (1 Corinthians 3:9c, 17).The Church of living stones, built up in truth and charity, is internally formed by the Holy Spirit.Today's feast celebrates the mystery of God's desire to build a spiritual temple in the world —a community that worships Him in spirit and truth (cf. John 4:23-24).The churches, with their beauty and harmony, are destined to give praise to God.Every community must take special care of its sacred buildings, always calling upon the intercession of the Most Holy Mary.Today, we also celebrate the feast of the Virgin of the Almudena in Madrid, Spain.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,Ten years ago, Louis and Zélie Martin — the parents of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, pictured — were canonized as a model of a joyful and holy marriage.Pope Leo said their lives show “marriage as a path to holiness.”"Among the vocations to which men and women are called by God, marriage is one of the noblest and most elevated.”Pope Leo XIV urged couples to look to the Saints as a model of a joyful and holy marriage.The Pontifex urged to discover God's “boundless love and tenderness and strive to make them love Him in return as He deserves.”Our secular society tends to present marriage and family as outdated and boring, but they are just the opposite.The pope described the Martins as a couple who found “profound happiness in giving life, transmitting the faith, and seeing their daughters grow and flourish under the gaze of the Lord.” “Dear couples, I invite you to persevere courageously on the path, sometimes difficult and laborious, but luminous, that you have undertaken,” Pope Leo stated.“Above all, put Jesus at the center of your families, your activities, and your choices,” he explained.Louis and Marie-Azélie (Zélie) Martin were married in 1858 at Notre Dame Basilica in Alençon. Before marrying, both had sought religious life — Louis with the Augustinians and Zélie with the Sisters of Charity — but each discerned that God was calling them to marriage.Zélie prayed for children who would consecrate their lives to God, and the couple was blessed with nine. Four died in infancy, and the remaining five became religious sisters, including Thérèse, who would later become one of the Church's most beloved saints and a Doctor of the Church.Thérèse said that God had given her “a mother and a father more worthy of heaven than of earth.”Zélie died of breast cancer in 1877 at age 45. After Zelie's death, Louis moved the family to Lisieux, where four of his daughters went on to become Carmelite nuns.The Martins were canonized together by Pope Francis on Oct. 18, 2015, becoming the first married couple in Church history to be declared saints together — a testament, Pope Leo said, to the enduring truth that marriage, lived faithfully, “leads to the glory of heaven.”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!

In this episode of the GreatBase Tennis Podcast, Steve Smith and Dave Anderson discuss two of the most influential minds behind the GreatBase philosophy: Dr. Jim Leohr and Coach Jim Verdieck. Through stories, lessons, and personal experiences, they highlight why mental discipline, character, standards, and accountability remain essential in player development.Episode 273 also previews the upcoming workshop in Ave Maria, focused on honoring tennis teaching traditions, preserving valuable coaching knowledge, and helping today's players and coaches build a stronger foundation. Great coaching endures, and this conversation is a reminder of why the fundamentals and values from the past still matter today.

Friends of the Rosary,At that time, addressing the crowds, Christ Jesus instructed them, as we are reading today (Luke 14:25-33):"Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple."Moreover, the Lord doubled down on the message:"Everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple."Here on Earth, we, sinners after all, are inclined to see the universe through the optics of our ego, our needs, and fears.Christ, the Son of the Living God, encourages us to undergo a complete transformation in the way we perceive life and our own conscience.This transformation is a true conversion. It goes far beyond a moral reform and wishful thoughts.Yes, we must live like saints to have this revelation after we accept the universal call to holiness we have received.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, November 4th, the Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Charles Borromeo (1538-1584), bishop.Charles Borromeo, the bishop of Milan, came from a wealthy, aristocratic Italian family. He lived a lavish life, emulating the lifestyles of the rich and famous of the Renaissance in the sixteenth century. His maternal uncle, from the powerful Medici family, was the pope, who would later make him a cardinal-deacon at the age of twenty-three.When Count Frederick Borromeo passed away, many people thought that Charles, who became the head of the Borromeo family, would give up his clerical life and marry now that he had inherited the title. But he did not. He became a priest.In 1570, a famine erupted, and Charles Borromeo took the lead, bringing food to feed three thousand people a day for three months. Six years later, a two-year plague swept through the region. Borromeo mobilized priests, religious, and lay volunteers to feed and care for the 60,000 to 70,000 people.During the plague, he walked barefoot in the public streets, carrying a cross, with a rope around his neck, offering himself as a victim to God for the transgressions of his people.He personally cared for many who were sick and dying. In the process, Borromeo incurred huge debts, depleting his resources to feed, clothe, administer medical care, and build shelters for thousands of plague-stricken people.As if the natural disasters facing Borromeo were not enough, a disgruntled priest attempted to assassinate him. As Charles knelt in prayer before the altar, the would-be assassin pulled a gun and shot him. At first, Charles thought he was dying, but the bullet only bruised him.He died, dressed in sackcloth and ashes, holding a picture of Jesus Crucified in his hands.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,From November 1st to the 8th, we celebrate the Octave of the Faithful Departed by praying for the Holy Souls in Purgatory and acknowledging that they, too, are praying for us.The majority of people who die are not saints: they might be God's friends as they are not against the Lord, but at the same time are not fully initiated into the divine life, as Bishop Barron explains. Therefore, after death, they will undergo a period of purification and preparation for eternal life.The effect of sin that endures in them will be burned away in God's time. This way, they will be prepared to receive the full embrace of the divine love.The doctrine of purgatory is deeply hopeful. The holy souls are very close to us, and we to them. They relate to us through prayer, and we to them, as well. We all glorify our Lord.Today, November 3, we celebrate the feast day of St. Martin de Porres.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, Sunday, November 2, after we celebrated yesterday the feast of All Saints, is the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls' Day). The Militant Church on earth prays for the Suffering Church in Purgatory, all those souls in the purifying suffering who await the day they will join in heavenly glory to the company of saints — the Church Triumphant.The Catechism explains this mystery:"All who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven.""The Church gives the name Purgatory to this final purification of the elect, which is entirely different from the punishment of the damned" (CCC 1030-1031)."We pray for the Faithful Departed, especially during the "octave" of All Souls, from November 1st to the 8th.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, November 1, is the Solemnity of All Saints. The Catholic Church celebrates the multitude of saints in heaven — canonized and uncanonized — enjoying the beatific view.We all have this "universal call to holiness," to join the company of the saints in heaven. To achieve this, we follow in Christ's footsteps and conform ourselves to His image, seeking the will of the Father in all things. We devote ourselves to the glory of God and the service of our neighbor.And what's heaven?The Catechism defines it as “the perfect life with the communion of life and love with the Most Holy Trinity, with the Virgin Mary, the angels and all the blessed.”Heaven is the ultimate end and fulfillment of the deepest human longings, the state of supreme, definitive happiness.”During the year, the Church celebrates one by one the feasts of the saints. Today, it recalls the vision "of all nations and tribes standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands, proclaiming Him who redeemed them in His Blood."We pray for the Faithful Departed from November 1 to the 8th.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,Tomorrow, November 1, is the solemnity of All Saints, and today, October 31, is the Eve of All Saints, commonly known as Halloween. In England, saints or holy people are called “hallowed,” hence the name “All Hallows' Day.”Pope Sixtus IV, in 1484, established November 1 as the feast of All Saints, a holy day of obligation, and assigned both a vigil, “All Hallows' Eve” or “Hallowe'en”. However, the current missal does not have a vigil Mass for the feast. And Halloween is not a liturgical feast on the Catholic calendar.The three consecutive days — Halloween, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day — illustrate the Communion of Saints.The Church Militant — that is, we, those on earth, striving to get to heaven — rejoices and honors the Church Triumphant — the saints, canonized and uncanonized in heaven. And we ask for the Saints' intercession.The Church Militant prays also for the Church Suffering — those souls in Purgatory — especially on All Souls Day and during the entire month of November.Halloween is a combination of the preparation for and celebration of two upcoming feasts. This feast has been adopted by the secular world, with all the demonic and witchcraft imagery, but the roots of the celebration are firmly grounded in Catholic tradition.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,One of this month's passages from the Gospel (Luke 10:25-37) spoke vividly about eternal life.In this regard, St. Augustine wrote in his fourth letter to his deceased brother Sapidas:«Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room.I am I, and you are you.Whatever we were to each other, we are still.Call me by my old familiar name,speak to me in the easy way which you always used,put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we shared together.Let my name ever be the household word that it always was.Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it.Life means all that it ever meant.It is the same as it ever was.There is unbroken continuity.Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.All is well.»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,This month, Pope Leo XIV released the apostolic exhortation Dilexi Te (I Have Loved You).It's a moving and challenging reminder that the love of God and love of neighbor are one.“Charitable works are the burning heart of the Church's mission.”Dilexi Te calls for the transformation of hearts and the way we see one another. Especially our love for the poor, to whom we have a unique obligation.“Christian love breaks down every barrier, brings close those who were distant, unites strangers, and reconciles enemies. It spans chasms that are humanly impossible to bridge, and it penetrates to the most hidden crevices of society.”“A Church that sets no limits to love, that knows no enemies to fight but only men and women to love, is the Church that the world needs today.”“We have to state, without mincing words, that there is an inseparable bond between our faith and the poor.”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!

Christ sets her free from her infirmity."This daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years now, ought she not to have been set free on the sabbath day from this bondage?”"When he said this, all his adversaries were humiliated, and the whole crowd rejoiced at all the splendid deeds done by him."Christ fulfills his promise by adopting us and giving us the right to be children of God.With him we suffer, and with Him we will be glorified, as he bears our burdens.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, Sunday, the Day of the Lord, Christ Jesus tells us (Luke 18:9-14) of two righteous and unrighteous people: the Pharisee and the tax collector, who both pray in a very different manner.The tax collector, aware of his unworthiness, beats his breast and prays:'O God, be merciful to me a sinner.'His failure led him to depend on and hope the Lord would rescue him.Christ explains,"I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former;for whoever exalts himself will be humbled,and the one who humbles himself will be exalted."The point of our faith is to make us humble before God and to open us to the path of love.And for that, we have to pray with persistence and humility.We acknowledge our flaws and avoid elevating ourselves.  within 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,In today's Gospel (Luke 13:1-9), the Lord Jesus gives us the parable of a fig tree that bears no fruit.This tree symbolizes the moral person who bears no spiritual fruit.Christ is the vine, and we are the branches, meaning we are—or should be—conduits of divine grace into the world. We are meant to bring the fruits of charity and love and forgiveness.However, as St. Paul explains today in his letter to the Romans (Romans 8:1-11), "those who live according to the flesh," while those living in the spirit are with God."The concern of the flesh is death,but the concern of the spirit is life and peace.For the concern of the flesh is hostility toward God;it does not submit to the law of God, nor can it;and those who are in the flesh cannot please God."As we belong to Christ, let's acknowledge that the Spirit of God dwells within 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,In today's reading (Luke 12:49-53), Christ the Lord declares his desire to spread eternal life among human beings through the fire of the Holy Spirit. He says,"I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!"Jesus is the bearer of the divine life, the spreader of the fire that sets the world ablaze, and we are obligated to be a conduit of holiness.He came to torch the world with the heat and light of the divine Spirit, which is the love shared by the Father and the Son, the very inner life of God.Christ Jesus desires the world to be renewed and purified through this divine fire.He also says today:"Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division!"Christ Jesus does bring true peace — peace with God (John 14:27) — but not surface-level harmony or cheap peace.The decision of whether to align with Christ or reject Him often causes division even within families. When some accept and others reject the call of the Gospel, and when God's truth confronts human resistance and sin, conflict arises.We pray today's Rosary, on the feast of St. John Capistrano, from Tempe, Arizona.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 22, is the feast of St. John Paul II (1920-2005).Born in 1920 in Wadowice, Poland, and elected pope in 1978, Karol Jozef Wojtyla demonstrated exceptional apostolic zeal throughout his earthly life, particularly for families, young people, and the sick, and exhibited an intensified pastoral commitment with heroic generosity.He promulgated the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Code of Canon Law for the Latin Church and for the Eastern Churches, and the Luminous Mysteries.Pope John Paul II made 146 pastoral visits in Italy and 104 international apostolic journeys. He produced 14 Encyclicals, 15 Apostolic Exhortations, 11 Apostolic Constitutions, and 45 Apostolic Letters.He also wrote five books: Crossing the Threshold of Hope (October 1994); Gift and Mystery: On the Fiftieth Anniversary of My Priestly Ordination (November 1996); Roman Triptych, meditations in poetry (March 2003); Rise, Let Us Be on Our Way (May 2004), and Memory and Identity (February 2005).Pope John Paul II celebrated 147 beatifications, during which he proclaimed 1,338 blesseds, and 51 canonizations, for a total of 482 saints.On May 13, 1981, an attempt was made on Pope John Paul II's life in Saint Peter's Square. Saved by the maternal hand of the Mother of God, following a lengthy stay in the hospital, he forgave the attempted assassin.John Paul II was beatified on May 1, 2011, by Pope Benedict XVI, his immediate successor and, for many years, his valued collaborator as Prefect for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. He was canonized by Pope Francis on April 17, 2014.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,Lord Christ says today in the Gospel (Luke 12:35-38),"Blessed are those servants whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival."In today's reading, Jesus is calling us to be vigilant for the Second Coming. The Lord tells the parable of the faithful servant whom the master finds vigilant on his return from a wedding.  The creed we recite every day says, “He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead.”And the liturgy states it clearly: “As we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.” In Eucharistic Prayer IV, we find, “As we await his coming in glory...” Toward the end of the New Testament, we read, “Come, Lord Jesus!”Whenever the end times may be, each of us must prepare for Christ's second coming at the end of our lives.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, in St. Peter's Square, Rome, Pope Leo XIV proclaimed seven new saints, “witnesses who with God's grace, kept the lamp of faith burning.”“They became lamps capable of spreading the light of Christ,” the Holy Father said in his homily.“May their intercession assist us in our trials and their example inspire us in our shared vocation to holiness,” he said.During the canonization Mass, unfolded under a bright Roman sun, the Pope declared the first two Venezuelan saints: St. José Gregorio Hernández Cisneros, known as “the doctor of the poor,” and St. María del Carmen Rendiles Martínez, a religious sister born without her left arm who went on to found the Servants of Jesus in Caracas in 1965.Among the new saints were also two martyrs. St. Peter To Rot, a lay catechist martyred in Papua New Guinea during the Japanese occupation in World War II, became the country's first saint. To Rot defied Japanese authorities who permitted polygamy, defending Christian marriage until his death.St. Ignatius Maloyan, an Armenian Catholic archbishop, was executed during the Armenian genocide after refusing to convert to Islam. “I consider the shedding of my blood for my faith to be the sweetest desire of my heart,” Maloyan said before his death. “If I am tortured for the love of him who died for me, I will be among those who will have joy and bliss, and I will have obtained to see my Lord and my God.”Among the most well-known of the new saints is St. Bartolo Longo, a 19th-century Italian lawyer who was Satanic before returning to the Church with zeal.After his conversion, Bartolo Longo became the Apostle of the Rosary, dedicating his life to promoting the rosary and building the Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary in Pompeii, now one of Italy's most beloved Marian pilgrimage sites.In his homily, Pope Leo XVI said that “what is most precious in the Lord's eyes” is “faith, namely, the bond of love between God and man.”“Our relationship with God is of the utmost importance because at the beginning of time he created all things out of nothing and, at the end of time, he will save mortal beings from nothingness,” the pope said. “A world without faith, then, would be populated by children living without a Father, that is, by creatures without salvation.”In addition to Venezuela's St. María del Carmen Rendiles Martínez, the Italian foundress St. Vincenza Maria Poloni was also canonized. Poloni founded the Sisters of Mercy of Verona and is remembered for her tireless service to the poor, even risking her life during the cholera epidemic of 1836.Pope Leo also canonized St. Maria Troncatti, an Italian Salesian sister who spent 44 years as a missionary among the Indigenous Shuar people in Ecuador's Amazon rainforest. Known affectionately as “Madrecita,” or “little mother,” she served as a nurse, surgeon, and catechist with missionary zeal.The canonization coincided with World Mission Sunday. Before praying the Angelus, Pope Leo XIV, who was once an Augustinian missionary himself in Peru, urged the faithful to pray for today's missionaries.Today, October 20, we celebrate the feast day of St. Paul 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!

Our perseverance develops trust and confidence in God, keeping us close to him.The trials of life that the Lord allows led us to spiritual progress. We might wonder why He is not answering our urgent appeals. It's not that He wants to punish us. It's that our loving God wants to help us in our own road to Heaven, as He is supervising the journey of each one of us.Many saints in heaven would never have become saints if God had not allowed them to struggle longer than they wished against both spiritual and physical trials and difficulties.In other words, "Ask and you shall receive," but perhaps not what you wanted, but what God knew you needed."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 18th, the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of St. Luke, the author of the third Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles.He was a physician, born in Antioch, Syria, and he accompanied St. Paul on part of his missionary travels and during his stay in prison in Rome, as recorded in the Acts, which also details the life of the early Christian communities.He was a man of letters and an artist painting the Blessed Virgin's portrait, although he never met Mary and Jesus in the flesh. His name means "bringer of light" (= Luke).St. Luke's Gospel is the Gospel of the Merciful Heart of Jesus and “Paul's Gospel", as well.It emphasizes that Christ is the salvation of all men, and it recounts some of our Lord's most moving parables, like those of the lost sheep and the prodigal son.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, we honor Ignatius of Antioch, the third bishop of Antioch in Syria, who suffered martyrdom in the Roman Amphitheater around 107, for unambiguously proclaiming the apostolic faith.About the Eucharist, he said, The Eucharist is 'the flesh of Christ' and the 'medicine of immortality.'Related to the immortality of the soul, in today's reading (Luke 12:1-7), Christ Our Lord is revealing to us:"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but after that can do no more. I shall show you whom to fear. Be afraid of the one who, after killing, has the power to cast into Gehenna; yes, I tell you, be afraid of that one.Aren't five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God. Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows."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 15, the Catholic Church celebrates the Memorials of St. Hedwig (1174-1243) and St. Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690).Our Lord chose Margaret Mary Alacoque, a nun in the Visitation Convent at Paray-le-Monial, France, to spread devotion to his Sacred Heart and to establish the devotion of the Holy Hour.This was at a time when the Protestant rebellion and the heresy of Jansenism were trying to separate Catholics from the faith.Jesus appeared to Margaret Mary often, usually as the Crucified Christ, revealing His burning desire to be loved by all men.She communicated Our Lord's wish that the faithful receive Holy Communion on the first Friday of each month and observe the Feast of the Sacred Heart on the Friday after the octave of Corpus Christi.After nineteen years in the convent, St. Margaret Mary expired on October 17, 1690. Since then, many pilgrims to her tomb have sought and obtained favors.Through her apostolate of devotion to the Sacred Heart, many sinners have repented and found grace with God.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 15, the Catholic Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Teresa of Avila (1515-1582).Born in Avila, Spain, in the year 1515, this sixteenth-century Spaniard saint is honored as the "seraphic virgin," virgo seraphica, doctrix mystica, doctor of mystical theology, and teacher of the spiritual life.She reformed the Carmelite Order, with the help of St. John of the Cross, changing most of the Carmelite convents and founding thirty-two reformed convents.She reached the highest degree of prayer and, through prayer, obtained such knowledge of divine things that in 1970 Pope St. Paul VI named her the first woman Doctor of the Church.  Her writings are still the classic works on mysticism. Autobiography of St. Teresa, Interior Castle, and Way of Perfection.Through her mystical union with God, she reached a climax when her heart was transfixed (transverberatio cordis),St. Teresa composed the following well-known lines:Let nothing affright thee,Nothing dismay thee.All is passing,God ever remains.Patience obtains all.Whoever possesses GodCannot lack anythingGod alone suffices.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 Miracle of the Sun, performed by Our Lady on October 13, 1917, was understood by the people as confirmation that the three children were telling the truth about the Marian apparitions and the messages of the Secret of Fatima, which consisted of three parts.The first part was a frightening vision of hell, "where the souls of poor sinners go," and contained an urgent plea from Our Lady for acts of prayer and sacrifice to save souls, with particular emphasis on praying the rosary and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.The second part of the “Secret” prophesied the outbreak of World War II and contained the prediction of the damage that Russia would do to humanity by abandoning the Christian faith and embracing Communism's totalitarianism.The third part was revealed in 2000, coinciding with the beatification of Francisco and Jacinta. It did not contain any striking or cataclysmic prediction, but, instead, affirmed the immense suffering endured by witnesses of the faith in the last century of the second millennium.Sister Lucia, the surviving member of the Fatima visionaries, confirmed that in the vision “the Bishop clothed in white,” who prays for all the faithful, was the Pope. As he was making his way with great difficulty towards the Cross amid the corpses of those who were martyred (bishops, priests, men and women religious, and many lay people), he too fell to the ground, apparently dead, under a hail of gunfire.That vision could have predicted the 1981 attack on Pope John Paul II's life. The Pope had always credited the Virgin for his survival.Or it may be a portrayal of the Church's ongoing struggle against secularism and anti-Christian movements, as well as a continuing call to prayer, sacrifice, and devotion to Our Lady of Fatima.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!
