Friends of the Rosary,Today, as we celebrate the Memorial of Saints Cornelius, Pope, and Cyprian, Bishop, Martyrs, we read in the Gospel (Luke 7:11–17) how Jesus, moved with pity for her, raised the only son of the widow of Nain.He said, "Do not weep."He stepped forward and touched the coffin, saying, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”"The dead man sat up and began to speak,and Jesus gave him to his mother.""Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming,“A great prophet has arisen in our midst,”and “God has visited his people.”This report about him spread through the whole of Judeaand in all the surrounding region."At that time and place, this was a disaster for the widow. There was no social safety net, no insurance, no guaranteed income.On the other hand, the reaction of the bystanders was one of fear, as the world was turned upside down.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 16, 2025, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

Friends of the Rosary,Today, September 15, the day after the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. 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

Friends of the Rosary,Today, September 12, as we pray for the eternal rest of the soul of Charlie Kirk and for the divine grace upon his wife and two children, we honor the Most Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a feast that follows that of her Birthday, as the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus follows Christmas.The Hebrew name of Mary, Miryãm (in Latin Domina), means lady or sovereign.We call Mary our Lady as we call Jesus our Lord. 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 8, as the Church has done from the earliest times, we rejoice in the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin “Mary was of the lineage of Abraham, born of the tribe of Judah and of the progeny of King David, from whom the Son of God was born, made man by the work of the Holy Spirit, to free humanity from the ancient bondage of sin,” as The Roman Martyrology states.Born immaculate and full of grace, Mary was conceived to be the mother of the Savior of the world, the spiritual mother of all men, and the holiest, most perfect of God's creatures.By the will of the Trinity, through her, all grace is given to men.In Mary, Queen of heaven and of earth, all human nature is exalted.This feast of the nativity of Mary is one of the three birthdays in the Church Calendar—the Birth of Jesus (December 25), the Birth of John the Baptist (June 24), and the Birthday of Mary. All three were born without original sin, although Mary and Jesus were conceived without sin, and St. John was cleansed of original sin while in the womb at the Visitation of Mary.Let us often call upon the Blessed Virgin as "Cause of our joy", one of the most beautiful titles in her litany.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,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

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.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, August 15, toward the end of the summer season, the Church of Christ celebrates the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, when the faithful proclaim that she was taken up, body and soul, into heaven.It's a Holy Day of Obligation and the oldest feast day of Our Lady.Its origin is in the early days of Jerusalem, when one of the memories about the Blessed Mother centered around the “Tomb of Mary,” close to Mount Zion, where she was buried, and the early Christian community had lived. It's the spot where Mary's “falling asleep.”Mary expired in the presence of the apostles, and when her tomb was opened later, it was found empty, and so the apostles concluded that the body was taken up into the heavenly home.Therefore, from the beginning, there were no relics of Mary to be venerated. That location also soon became a place of pilgrimage, and the “Memory of Mary” was being celebrated. Today, the Benedictine Abbey of the Dormition of Mary stands on the spot.In the seventh century, this feast began to be celebrated in Rome under the title of the “Falling Asleep” (“Dormitio”) of the Mother of God.Later, it was to become our feast of the Assumption.In 1950, Pope Pius XII solemnly proclaimed the dogma of the Assumption, a truth revealed by God, with these words: “The Immaculate Mother of God, the ever-virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heaven.”The Assumption looks to eternity and gives us hope that we, too, will follow Our Lady when our life is ended.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, August 14, is the Memorial of St. Maximilian Mary Kolbe (1894-1941), a Polish Franciscan, friar, priest, and martyr of Auschwitz, who founded a movement of Marian consecration called Militia of the Immaculata, With his preaching and writing, he undertook an intense apostolic mission in Europe and Asia.Imprisoned in Auschwitz during the Second World War, he offered himself in exchange for a young father of a large family who was to be executed, Francis Gajowniczek.When the captors couldn't kill him from starvation in the concentration camp, they ended his life with a lethal injection on August 14, 1941.In 1927, he established an evangelization center near Warsaw called Niepokalanow, the "City of the Immaculata." By 1939, the City had expanded from eighteen friars to an incredible 650, making it the largest Catholic religious house in the world.To better "win the world for the Immaculata," the friars utilized modern printing and administrative techniques, enabling countless catechetical and devotional works, a daily newspaper with a circulation of 230,000, and a monthly magazine with a circulation of over one million.Maximilian started a shortwave radio station and planned to build a motion picture studio—he was a true "apostle of the mass media." He established a City of the Immaculata in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1930, and envisioned missionary centers worldwide.Maximilian was a ground-breaking theologian. His insights into the Immaculate Conception anticipated the Marian theology of the Second Vatican Council and further developed the Church's understanding of Mary as "Mediatrix" of all the graces of the Trinity, and as "Advocate" for God's people.Pope St. John Paul II canonized him in 1982 and proclaimed him a "martyr of charity" and "Patron Saint of Our Difficult Century." Francis Gajowniczek was in attendance.He is a patron of journalists, families, prisoners, the pro-life movement, and the chemically addicted.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 14, 2025, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET
