Friends of the Rosary,Today, August 29, 2026, is the Memorial of the Passion of Saint John the Baptist. The precursor of Christ shows us a life completely given to God: humble, brave, and unwilling to compromise with sin.In the Gospel (Mark 6:17–29), John the Baptist suffers death because he speaks the truth —the truth of marriage in this case —with courage.Meanwhile, Saint Paul (1 Corinthians 1:26–31) reminds us that God chooses the weak, humble, and lowly so that no one may boast except in the Lord.In our Saturday prayer, we ask the Lord Jesus to give us the courage of Saint John the Baptist, helping us to speak truth with love, stay humble before Him, and remain faithful even when it is difficult.The practical lesson is to be faithful to the truth, even when it costs something.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!

Saturday of the 21st Week in Ordinary Time Memorial of the Martyrdom of St. John the Baptist Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 8/29/26 Gospel: Mark 6:17-29

17 For Herod himself had sent and apprehended John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.Ipse enim Herodes misit, ac tenuit Joannem, et vinxit eum in carcere propter Herodiadem uxorem Philippi fratris sui, quia duxerat eam. 18 For John said to Herod: It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.Dicebat enim Joannes Herodi : Non licet tibi habere uxorem fratris tui. 19 Now Herodias laid snares for him: and was desirous to put him to death, and could not.Herodias autem insidiabatur illi : et volebat occidere eum, nec poterat. 20 For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a just and holy man: and kept him, and when he heard him, did many things: and he heard him willingly.Herodes enim metuebat Joannem, sciens eum virum justum et sanctum : et custodiebat eum, et audito eo multa faciebat, et libenter eum audiebat. 21 And when a convenient day was come, Herod made a supper for his birthday, for the princes, and tribunes, and chief men of Galilee.Et cum dies opportunus accidisset, Herodes natalis sui coenam fecit principibus, et tribunis, et primis Galilaeae : 22 And when the daughter of the same Herodias had come in, and had danced, and pleased Herod, and them that were at table with him, the king said to the damsel: Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee.cumque introisset filia ipsius Herodiadis, et saltasset, et placuisset Herodi, simulque recumbentibus, rex ait puellae : Pete a me quod vis, et dabo tibi : 23 And he swore to her: Whatsoever thou shalt ask I will give thee, though it be the half of my kingdom.et juravit illi : Quia quidquid petieris dabo tibi, licet dimidium regni mei. 24 Who when she was gone out, said to her mother, What shall I ask? But she said: The head of John the Baptist.Quae cum exisset, dixit matri suae : Quid petam? At illa dixit : Caput Joannis Baptistae. 25 And when she was come in immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying: I will that forthwith thou give me in a dish, the head of John the Baptist.Cumque introisset statim cum festinatione ad regem, petivit dicens : Volo ut protinus des mihi in disco caput Joannis Baptistae. 26 And the king was struck sad. Yet because of his oath, and because of them that were with him at table, he would not displease her:Et contristatus est rex : propter jusjurandum, et propter simul discumbentes, noluit eam contristare : 27 But sending an executioner, he commanded that his head should be brought in a dish.sed misso speculatore praecepit afferri caput ejus in disco. Et decollavit eum in carcere, 28 And he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a dish: and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.et attulit caput ejus in disco : et dedit illud puellae, et puella dedit matri suae. 29 Which his disciples hearing came, and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.Quo audito, discipuli ejus venerunt, et tulerunt corpus ejus : et posuerunt illud in monumento.[20] "And kept him": That is, from the designs of Herodias; and for fear of the people, would not put him to death, though she sought it; and through her daughter she effected her wish.St John reproached Herod with his unlawful union with his brothers' wife. Herodias and her daughter Salome forced Herod to behead St John, the Precurser to the Messiah.

THE PURPOSE OF  POWER Minister: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Message Transcript Summary The Christian walk is not merely an intellectual pursuit, a moral lecture, or an exercise in social etiquette; it is founded on the tangible power of God (1 Corinthians 4:20; Acts 1:8). Power is an essential pillar of the Kingdom of God, given through the Holy Spirit to enable believers to achieve divine assignments beyond natural and physical limitations. God does not grant power to impress people, build personal pride, or gain worldly fame. When the true purpose of power is misunderstood, abuse is inevitable. Power serves redemptive purposes: to reveal and validate the resurrected Christ, to confront and destroy the works of darkness, to confirm and establish the preaching of the Gospel with accompanying signs, to build and expand the church, and to empower believers to become transformational agents of Kingdom influence across every sector of society. Scriptural Anchors Acts 1:8: "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me..." Luke 10:19: "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy..." Acts 10:38: "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil..." Zechariah 4:6: "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts." Mark 16:15–20: "And these signs shall follow them that believe... confirming the word with signs following." John 14:12: "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do..." Detailed Sermon Notes 1. The Nature of Supernatural Power Beyond Natural and Intellectual Might: Zechariah 4:6 distinguishes between natural strength (military, physical, intellectual, or political might) and the supernatural power that originates from the Holy Spirit. A Divine Endowment: In Acts 1:8, Jesus promised that power (Dunamis) is received when the Holy Spirit comes upon the believer, empowering ordinary individuals for extraordinary Kingdom tasks. Essential for Proof: Christianity requires demonstration. Without the power of God at work, the message of the cross sounds like a mere philosophical story to a skeptical world. 2. The Danger of Misconceptions and Abuse Not for Showmanship: God does not release supernatural power to impress audiences, build celebrity status, or satisfy carnal ambition. Understanding Purpose: When the purpose of power is not understood, spiritual abuse, error, and deviation occur. Power must always be anchored to God's redemptive agenda. 3. The Five Core Purposes of Supernatural Power I. To Reveal Jesus Christ (Acts 3:1–16; Romans 8:29) Miracles point beyond the human vessel directly to the living, resurrected Christ. Just as Peter redirected the crowd's attention from himself to Jesus after the lame man was healed at the Beautiful Gate, power is meant to glorify the Son of God. II. To Destroy the Works of the Enemy (Acts 10:38; 1 John 3:8; Luke 10:19) Power is confrontational. Satan operates through organized demonic entities (powers, principalities, rulers of darkness). Spiritual power breaks demonic afflictions, cancels ancestral attacks, breaks yokes, and liberates captives from demonic oppression. III. To Confirm and Establish the Gospel (Mark 16:17–20) The Gospel is established in human hearts when accompanied by undeniable signs, wonders, and diverse miracles. Power turns abstract doctrine into living reality, causing unbelievers to acknowledge the truth of God's Word. IV. To Build and Expand the Church (Acts 2:41–47; Acts 4:29–33) In the early church, demonstrations of apostolic power produced awe, unity, conviction, and explosive daily church growth. A church void of power becomes a mere lecture hall; a church with power becomes a center of divine habitation and life transformation. V. To Transform Believers into Kingdom Agents in Society (John 14:12) "Greater works" are not confined within the four walls of the church; they extend to societal impact, governance, industry, innovation, and enterprise. Believers are called to dominate their environments, build businesses, solve practical human problems, and demonstrate Kingdom excellence in the marketplace. Faith Declarations & Prayer Points Declarations "I am a carrier of supernatural power through the Holy Ghost residing within me!" "I do not walk in fear or timidity; God has given me authority over all the works of darkness, and nothing shall by any means hurt me!" "My life and ministry will not consist of empty words, but of the demonstration of the Spirit and of power to the glory of Jesus Christ!" Prayer Points Fresh Baptism of Power: Pray for a fresh spiritual awakening and an active release of the power of the Holy Ghost upon your life. Confronting Darkness: Exercise your authority in Christ to break every demonic attack, affliction, and limitation operating against your family, health, and assignment. Marketplace Impact: Ask God for supernatural wisdom, creative enterprise ideas, and divine capacity to influence your community and establish Kingdom dominance.

(Mark 1:12-13)The Good News we need to hear is that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, which is a message affirmed by many witnesses. Read Mark 1:1-8“The Beginning of the Gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God” (1:1)1. How would you frame the “good news” of the gospel? Try to put it into one sentence. “I will send a messenger before you who will prepare your way” (1:2)2. John “prepared the way for Jesus” by calling people to repent of their sins. How does repentance prepare the way for you to encounter Jesus today? “John came baptizing in the desert region and preaching a baptism of repentance…” (1:4)3. John invited people into a baptism that symbolized their repentance and pictured cleansing from their sins, with forgiveness as the result. Jesus would come and actually provide the sacrifice for sins, bringing full forgiveness and the greater baptism of the Holy Spirit, symbolizing God's intimate presence with us. “I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit” (1:7)4. In what ways is Jesus and His message greater than John and his message? “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” (James 1:22)5. What did you learn about God in this passage? How does this affect you? 6. How are you encouraged or challenged by this passage?7. How will you respond to God this week? The Proclamation of the “Pater” UPG FOCUS: The Mappila in IndiaThe Mappila are a large Muslim people group living primarily in southern India, with a history shaped by Arab traders. Family and religious life are deeply influenced by Islam, and local imams hold significant spiritual authority. Although the Bible and other gospel resources are available, fewer than 2% of Mappila are followers of Christ. Pray that many would come to know Jesus, that courageous believers would boldly share their faith, and that God would raise up leaders who point their communities to Him.FinancesWeekly Budget 35,915Giving For 08/02 27,535Giving For 08/09 33,704YTD Budget 215,490Giving 165,252 OVER/(UNDER) (50,238) Fellowship 101We invite you to join us on Sunday, September 13, at 9:00 a.m. to learn more about Fellowship.

 31 And again going out of the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.Et iterum exiens de finibus Tyri, venit per Sidonem ad mare Galilaeae inter medios fines Decapoleos. 32 And they bring to him one deaf and dumb; and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him.Et adducunt ei surdum, et mutum, et deprecabantur eum, ut imponat illi manum. 33 And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, he touched his tongue:Et apprehendens eum de turba seorsum, misit digitos suos in auriculas ejus : et exspuens, tetigit linguam ejus : 34 And looking up to heaven, he groaned, and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened.et suscipiens in caelum, ingemuit, et ait illi : Ephphetha, quod est, Adaperire. 35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke right.Et statim apertae sunt aures ejus, et solutum est vinculum linguae ejus, et loquebatur recte. 36 And he charged them that they should tell no man. But the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it.Et praecepit illis ne cui dicerent. Quanto autem eis praecipiebat, tanto magis plus praedicabant : 37 And so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well; he hath made both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.et eo amplius admirabantur, dicentes : Bene omnia fecit : et surdos fecit audire, et mutos loqui.Hyppolytus was a guardian of St Lawrence and baptised by him.

Lesson series: "The Glorious Gospel" By Pastor Mike Sub title: Eight Reasons Why the Gospel Is Glorious Lesson One: The Gospel is glorious because of its definition. Text: 1 Timothy 1:11 Intro. The Holy Spirit inspired the Apostle Paul to define the Gospel as glorious, which he does in our text and in 2 Cor. 4:4 1. The word glorious is translated from the Greek transliteration "DOXA" which is the word for glory. Ref.

 44 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.Simile est regnum caelorum thesauro abscondito in agro : quem qui invenit homo, abscondit, et prae gaudio illius vadit, et vendit universa quae habet, et emit agrum illum. 45 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls.Iterum simile est regnum caelorum homini negotiatori, quaerenti bonas margaritas. 46 Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it.Inventa autem una pretiosa margarita, abiit, et vendidit omnia quae habuit, et emit eam. 47 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes.Iterum simile est regnum caelorum sagenae missae in mare, et ex omni genere piscium congreganti. 48 Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.Quam, cum impleta esset, educentes, et secus littus sedentes, elegerunt bonis in vasa, malos autem foras miserunt. 49 So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just.Sic erit in consummatione saeculi : exibunt angeli, et separabunt malos de medio justorum, 50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.et mittent eos in caminum ignis : ibi erit fletus, et stridor dentium. 51 Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.Intellexistis haec omnia? Dicunt ei : Etiam. 52 He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.Ait illis : Ideo omnis scriba doctus in regno caelorum, similis est homini patrifamilias, qui profert de thesauro suo nova et vetera.

1 In those days again, when there was a great multitude, and had nothing to eat; calling his disciples together, he saith to them:In diebus illis iterum cum turba multa esset, nec haberent quod manducarent, convocatis discipulis, ait illis : 2 I have compassion on the multitude, for behold they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat.Misereor super turbam : quia ecce jam triduo sustinent me, nec habent quod manducent : 3 And if I shall send them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way; for some of them came from afar off.et si dimisero eos jejunos in domum suam, deficient in via : quidam enim ex eis de longe venerunt. 4 And his disciples answered him: From whence can any one fill them here with bread in the wilderness?Et responderunt ei discipuli sui : Unde illos quis poterit saturare panibus in solitudine? 5 And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? Who said: Seven.Et interrogavit eos : Quot panes habetis? Qui dixerunt : Septem. 6 And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke, and gave to his disciples for to set before them; and they set them before the people.Et praecepit turbae discumbere super terram. Et accipiens septem panes, gratias agens fregit, et dabat discipulis suis ut apponerent, et apposuerunt turbae. 7 And they had a few little fishes; and he blessed them, and commanded them to be set before them.Et habebant pisciculos paucos : et ipsos benedixit, et jussit apponi. 8 And they did eat and were filled; and they took up that which was left of the fragments, seven baskets.Et manducaverunt, et saturati sunt, et sustulerunt quod superaverat de fragmentis, septem sportas. 9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand; and he sent them away.Erant autem qui manducaverunt, quasi quatuor millia : et dimisit eos.

Have you ever worried you committed the unforgivable sin? You’re not alone. In one of the most misunderstood passages in the Bible, Jesus talks about a sin with eternal consequences—and for generations people have wondered if they’ve accidentally crossed a line they can never come back from. In this message from Mark 3, we unpack […]

Friends of the Rosary,Today, the Feast day of St. Norbert, Bishop, Saturday of the Ninth Week in Ordinary Time, and the eve of the Solemnity of the Corpus Christi, we see in the Gospel (Mark 12:38-44), the contrast between the religious show and the hidden, total self-gift of the poor widow who gives everything by love.“Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in morethan all the other contributors to the treasury.For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth,but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had,her whole livelihood.”St. Ambrose said, "No one gives more than she who has left nothing for herself."St. John Chrysostom, "Almsgiving is that of the Widow who emptied out all her living."St. Bede, "God does not weigh the property but the conscience of those who offer."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,Christian love is an act of the willing – the willing of the good of the other. "Love your neighbor as yourself," as the Lord says, and we read today in the Gospel (Mark 12:28-34).Love is not primarily a feeling or an instinct; it is a radical self-gift, living for the sake of the other.It's moving beyond the black hole of oneself and, yes, it's acting for the glory of God as we participate in the love that the Lord is. Mind you, it's self-interest to treat someone justly in the interest of receiving something back.When we love the Lord with all our heart, mind, understanding, and strength, then we will understand what true love is.The Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ is observed on the Thursday following the feast of the Most Blessed Trinity. However, as it is not observed as a Holy Day of obligation on Thursday, it is assigned to the Sunday after Trinity Sunday, which is then considered its proper day in the calendar.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, Memorial of Saint Charles Lwanga and Companions, Martyrs, we read in the Gospel (Mark 12:18-27) how Jesus answers the Sadducees' trap about the resurrection by pointing them back to Scripture and to the living power of God: “He is not God of the dead but of the living.”Christian hope is not vague optimism. It is confidence that God's life is stronger than death.And the resurrection is not an abstract doctrine; it is the truth that lets a Christian stand upright, love clearly, and suffer without being owned by suffering.That fits beautifully with Saint Charles Lwanga and his martyred companions, the saints of today. Their martyrdom witnesses that faith is not merely an idea to defend, but a life entrusted to God even when earthly power threatens everything. They could face death because they believed Christ's words. Their witness reaffirmed that trust that the body can be killed, but the life God gives cannot 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!

Original Post Date: June 4, 2024 === Gospel  Mark 12:13-17 Some Pharisees and Herodians were sent to Jesus to ensnare him in his speech. They came and said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man and that you are not concerned with anyone's opinion. You do not regard a person's status but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not? Should we pay or should we not pay?” Knowing their hypocrisy he said to them, “Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius to look at.” They brought one to him and he said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They replied to him, “Caesar's.” So Jesus said to them, “Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” They were utterly amazed at him. Reflection To live in the world is to live in a society where there are regulations and rules and we follow them. And Jesus is pointing that out to the Herodians and to the Pharisees, because what he's saying, look, okay, I'm not really engaging so much in how the world is working around you. I am working on establishing a different kind of kingdom, a kingdom of love, a kingdom of truth, and it dwells in people and will change the world. But it is not the world or society that will change us. It is God's truth that changes the world. Closing Prayer Father, we spend a great deal of time evaluating the way the world is going, but the Kingdom of God is inside, and that is the place where God is asking us to wait for and to experience the Kingdom of God, the peace and the joy that it promises. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Friends of the Rosary,Today, the Feast of St. Justin, the Gospel (Mark 12:1-12) presents the parable of the landowner who leased a vineyard to tenants. This vineyard stands for Israel and the whole world. But God's people miserably failed in their duty.The landowner sent his servants to the tenants to obtain the produce, and these were beaten, killed, and stoned. Then he sent his beloved son, but the tenant seized and killed him."What then will the owner of the vineyard do?He will come, put the tenants to death,and give the vineyard to others.""The stone that the builders rejectedhas become the cornerstone;by the Lord has this been done,and it is wonderful in our eyes?"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 (Mark 11:11-26), we see the cleansing of the temple. What was supposedly holy — the temple of the Holy Spirit — was dominated by the trading of merchants.Jesus, therefore, began to “drive out those selling and buying there,” condemning them for turning a sacred space of prayer into a chaotic and exploitative marketplace.In fact, we ourselves are meant to be a temple where the Spirit of Truth dwells and where communion with God is revealed.However, we are sinners, and the money traders and the corruption of material ambitions enter in. Then a place of prayer becomes a den of thieves.Then the Lord must do what he did in the temple: a little cleansing. With a whip of cords, knotted with the Ten Commandments, it clears the reality of our sin.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!
