Hello family, and welcome to day 35 of our 54-Day Rosary Novena. I’m your host, Maritza Mendez, and I’m thankful you’re here today.

Before we begin, I want to share something from my heart.

We are so thankful for all of our donors who have paid it forward through our website, Patreon, PayPal, and Zelle. As of today, we have raised a little over $2,000, and this money is used to pay our editor, music licensing, and all the subscriptions that keep the podcast running year-round.

As I mentioned yesterday, it costs about $6,000 to produce each season, since we publish 108 episodes in just 54 days, in both English and Spanish. Right now, we have 28 monthly donors, and our goal is to reach 54 monthly donors, 26 more people, who would help keep the podcast going all year long.

I also want you to know this: Many listeners can’t donate right now, and that is absolutely okay. Sharing the podcast, leaving a rating or review, or inviting someone to pray with you is just as powerful as making a donation.

This podcast belongs to all of us, and it would be beautiful to continue growing our family, season after season.

And I also want to share something incredible. Since we started in August of 2020, together we have prayed over 1 million rosaries as a family. That is proof that prayer multiplies, and God uses every “yes,” one listener at a time.

If you feel called to support, you can give through:

Family, thank you for helping us keep this ministry alive.

This part of our novena is prayed in thanksgiving, believing that God is already answering our intentions; peace in the world, freedom from addictions, healing for those in recovery, and the intentions of everyone listening.

Today, we reflect on living with purpose after addiction.

Recovery is not just about what you leave behind, it’s about what you step into. When someone is freed from addiction, they often ask, “Now what?” “What is my life supposed to look like now?” That question is holy, because God never just removes something, He replaces it with meaning, service, and growth.

Purpose can look simple: helping one person a day, being present with your family, starting a new routine, praying for someone still struggling, showing kindness to a stranger, building something slowly, day by day.  Living with purpose means offering your story to God and saying, “Use it however You want.”

Your healing becomes someone else’s hope. Your progress becomes someone else’s courage. Your “yes” becomes someone else’s beginning.

Today our prayer is: “Lord, thank You for giving me a purpose after healing.”

If you are keeping up with your journal, ask yourself what is one way I can use my healing to help someone else today?

Blessed Mother, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, today we pray in thanksgiving for every person who has experienced recovery, growth, and new beginnings.

We pray for Angela, Barbara, Carla, Carlos, Clara, Daniel, Dani, Fanar, Gary, Goldy, Joe, Lannie, Laura Maria, Michaela, Oluwafunmilayo, Rosalia, Susana.

Blessed Mother, pray for us, guide us, and help us live with purpose, gratitude, and grace.

Family, thank you for praying with us today. Let’s continue with the Rosary.

With love,
Maritza Mendez.
