Friends of the Rosary: Sin demands reparation. It's a part of our atonement to God. Reparation can come in the form of penance and sacrifices. It is a ransom for our personal and collective sins, in imitation of the Lamb of God who gave his life on the Cross for us. Jesus Christ defeated death and sin through sacrifice and service to our fellow men. He emptied himself to restore the order of divine creation. Sins committed against the most sacred heart of Jesus can be repaired through intense prayer, penance, and charity, as we learn during Lent. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • March 3, 2023, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

[Comment: Divine Will] Friends of the Rosary: When we trust in Jesus and Mary, we accept the Divine Will — which is unfathomable and far beyond our comprehension. No matter how adverse and painful it looks, the Divine Will works for the benefit of our soul. It might take us years to understand the meaning of events. By the grace of the faith, we embrace peacefully trials and suffering experiences. We put ourselves at the foot of the Cross and look at the agonizing Jesus Christ. We invoke his Holy Mother and conclude that our struggle on Earth is out of our control. Jesus will provide at the right time. It means that we don’t put into test the Lord nor trade or demand any favor. We take refuge in the sacred heart of Jesus and the immaculate heart of Mary. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Sts. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael Pray for Us! + Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York —- Live Rosary every day at 7:30 PM Eastern. On-demand at any time.

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!

Friends of the Rosary,Today, October 28, we celebrate the feast day of two great apostles: St. Jude Thaddeus and St. Simon the ZealotSt. Jude Thaddeus, brother of St. James the Lesser, preached the Gospel in Judea, Samaria, Idumaea, Syria, Mesopotamia, and Libya. He suffered martyrdom in Armenia, which was then under Persian rule.He is the author of an epistle (letter) to the Churches of the East, in particular the Jewish converts, directed against the heresies of the Simonians, Nicolaites, and Gnostics.St. Jude was the one who asked Jesus at the Last Supper why He would not manifest Himself to the whole world after His resurrection.He is invoked as the patron of desperate, forgotten, and lost situations and causes because his New Testament letter stresses that the faithful should persevere in the environment of harsh, difficult circumstances, just as their forefathers had done before them.Every image of him depicts him wearing a medallion with a profile of Jesus.Saint Jude Thaddeus is not the same person as Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Our Lord and despaired because of his great sin and lack of trust in God’s mercy.St. Simon, who had been called a Zealot, is thought to have preached in Egypt and then to have joined St. Jude in Persia. Here, he was supposedly martyred by being cut in half with a saw, a tool he is often depicted with.Today, we also celebrate the Fourth Anniversary of the departure for the glory of heaven of Maria Blanca, co-founder of the Rosary Network, along with Mikel A. 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 in the Gospel (Luke 13:10-17), we see Our Lord performing a miracle on a woman who was crippled by a dark spirit for eighteen years. 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.  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,Christ the Lord is inviting us to be attentive and read the signs of the times in today’s reading (Luke 12:54-59),"You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky;why do you not know how to interpret the present time?"declares his desire to spread eternal life among human beings through the fire of the Holy Spirit. He says,The faithful are meant to look around with clear eyes and see what is happening.All things come from God. It is an attention to the things of God, as his presence is everywhere, in human affairs, in politics, in nature, and in history."God is in all things by essence, presence, and power,” taught us St. Thomas.Aquinas.He is not a distant deity, but the Living God!We pray today's Rosary, on the feast of St. Anthony of Claret, 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,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?

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.
