Friends of the Rosary,

Jesus said, “What is the Kingdom of God like?
To what can I compare it?
It is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in the garden.
When it was fully grown, it became a large bush
and the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches.” (LK 13:18-21)

Out of littleness, the greatness of God, and our cooperation, an extended kingdom is built.

The Christendom —and our own faith— is built upon what is small and insignificant initially.

As members of the universal Church, we exclusively rely on divine mercy and grace.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
Sts. Jude Thaddeus and Simon the Zealot, Pray for Us!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!

To Jesus through Mary!

Friends of the Rosary,

Today, October 28, the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of the Apostles Saints Jude Thaddeus and Simon the Zealot. The two disciples of Christ have shared this feast since ancient times. They both expired as martyrs.

St. Jude is the author of a short Epistle, which forms part of the New Testament. He is the patron saint of desperate situations, forgotten causes, hospital workers, hospitals, impossible causes, lost causes, and the diocese of Saint Petersburg, Florida.

Through his intercession, St. Jude helped several saints in significant or hopeless matters, so his reputation as the patron of impossible causes began.

In art, Jude typically bears a medallion imprinted with the face of Christ, while St. Simon is represented with a saw, the instrument of his martyrdom.

Simon was a vigorous defender of the Law, a fighter. He is mentioned on all four lists of the apostles. On two of them, he is called “the Zealot.”

The Zealots were a Jewish sect that represented an extreme of Jewish nationalism. They raided and killed, attacking both foreigners and “collaborating” Jews. However, Jesus needed no Zealots to bring about the kingdom by force.

Like this former Zealot, Jesus chose some unlikely people: a former tax collector, an impetuous fisherman, two “sons of thunder,” and a man named Judas Iscariot.

Today is also the third anniversary of the departure of Maria Blanca, co-founder of the Rosary Network. A Requiem Mass will be celebrated at 7:00 pm in the Basilica of St. John the Evangelist in Stamford, Connecticut.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
Sts. Jude Thaddeus and Simon the Zealot, Pray for Us!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!

Friends of the Rosary,

The Holy Spirit is our helper when dealing with persecution.

Christ Jesus tells us today (Luke 12:8-12):

“When they take you before synagogues and before rulers and authorities,
do not worry about how or what your defense will be
or about what you are to say. 
For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say.”

The enemies of the Universal Church are the world, the flesh, and the Evil One.

Persecution will end when the Lord returns, at the end of time, but not before. Then, when the old and sinful world passes away, a new life of love and peace will emerge.

The enemy of the faith knows this, and that’s why he is infuriated. He doesn’t have much time.

In the meantime, as Bishop Barron writes, “We maintain a detachment from the world that is passing away, our eyes fixed on the world that will never end. And we speak—confidently, boldly,”

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
St. Luke, Pray for Us!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!

To Jesus through Mary!

Friends of the Rosary,

Today's reading in the Gospel of Mark (Mk 6:30-34) brings us the compassion and human understanding of Jesus for humanity.

"When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd,
his heart was moved with pity for them,
for they were like sheep without a shepherd;
and he began to teach them many things."

The people of Galilee were anxious to hear about God and his mercy. They were simple, uneducated villagers, shepherds, and fishermen who knew little about the Law of Moses. They were ordinary, not overly religious people. They probably cheated on one another and were uncharitable to one another; they were not always chaste and pure. They prayed very little, perhaps only when they wanted some material benefit.

Yet our Lord had compassion on them.

The compassionate Christ has pity on us, too. He knows our infirmities and weaknesses and is ever-ready to have pity on us and pardon us. He wants us back on the high road to heaven.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!

To Jesus through Mary!

Friends of the Rosary:

This week, we read on the Gospel that Jesus cured people trapped by demonic spirits.

Modern thinkers reject this kind of Divine intervention, saying that these exorcisms are pure fantasy.

It’s a fact that we don’t see possessed people walking on the streets. We don’t even see Salem-style witches, or women devoted to the darkness. But it doesn’t mean that these demonic people do not exist.

The Evil Doer is much more sophisticated today. He tries to hide his existence as a more effective way to deceive people. Moreover, one of his strategies is to confuse everyone saying that Hell doesn’t exist and even that Jesus in His mercy wouldn’t allow anyone to go to Hell. This is a big satanic lie. Satan-driven people do exist and Hell is very real.

Gospel passages and stories are written for eternity.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
St. Blaise, Pray for Us!

Friends of the Rosary:

We celebrate today, January 2nd, 40 days after Christmas, the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, also known as Candlemas Day. It commemorates through the blessing and lighting of candles that Christ is the light of the world.

In conjunction with the Feast of the Presentation, the Catholic Church celebrates the World Day of Prayer for Consecrated Life today. Those with a consecrated vocation — with lives of poverty, chastity, and obedience — are also called to reflect the light of Jesus Christ to all peoples.

Regardless of the vocation, we are all called to union with Christ and to do our part to build up the Kingdom of God.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

Friends of the Rosary:

A global apostasy is underway. Promoted by mainstream leaders and politicians in Europe and the Americas — echoing a large number of citizens — the world is trying to create a Godless humanitarian society. A sort of new-age religion that takes some of the Christian values and dangerously mixes them with ideologies inspired by Hell.

These ideas end up destroying mankind, making many miserable and hopeless, now and eternally damned in the next life. It’s the playbook of the Devil, which takes advantage of the ignorance and pride of people. This is sad because as a human family we don’t want to lose any member.

How do we confront these troubled souls? Through personal example. By being charitable and prayerful we try to revert the negative turn taken by our modern society.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

Today, January 31st is St. John Bosco’s Memorial Day. Founder of the Salesian Society and of the Daughters of Mary Auxiliatrix, St. John Bosco was an enlightened educator and innovator.

This nineteenth-century Italian priest was a great apostle of youth.

As a seeker of souls, Don Bosco formulated a system of education based on “reason, religion, and kindness.”

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
St. John Bosco, Pray for Us!

Friends of the Rosary:

The Faith in Jesus and Mary is our guiding star. We cultivate this virtue to improve our life. And it works. And what’s interesting is that improvement increases exponentially.

Jesus explained it in last Thursday's reading (Mk 4:21-25), “to the one who has, more will be given; from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away."

Life is certainly a Cross. But when the burden is shared with Jesus, we receive life in abundance.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

Friends of the Rosary:

Today’s reading (Mk 4:35-41) depicts the apostles terrified on a boat shaken by waves and winds, while Jesus was calm, asleep on a cushion. What a contrast between the weakness of the human race, challenged by the lack of faith, and the Divinity, confident in the power of the eternal truth.

Jesus Christ, our role model to imitate, is telling us over and over again not to be afraid since He is the living God dwelling among us. We just need to have faith.

What makes us great and keeps us alive is faith in Jesus Christ. That’s our only richness.
We live for God and we live for others.

That’s the eternal truth that we have difficulty understanding and cultivating. We invoke Our Blessed Mother’s help in the Joyful Mysteries.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
