In our age, many of them try to invert the truth by presenting a twisted reality. They proclaim as right what is simply wrong. It is a direct denial against the Holy Spirit, a serious sin. We see this, especially regarding matters of life, family, and marriage. Today's reading (Mt 7:15-20) addresses how the false prophets are identified: Jesus said to his disciples: "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves. By their fruits, you will know them." "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. So by their fruits, you will know them." Today, we continue praying the Rosary in the streets of Philadelphia. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You!

Our Father in Heaven, who sees what is hidden, repays us for everything we do silently for others, Jesus reminds us in today's Gospel according to Matthew (Mt 6:1-6, 16-18). When we give alms, pray, or fast, we shouldn't seek people's praise or approval. As Jesus said to his disciples, "Take care not to perform righteous deeds in order for people to see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father." How often are we trapped in the pursuit of pleasing the world around us, seeking praise and honors? That might comfort us for a moment, but it won't last. As we contemplate the third Glorious Mystery that we pray today, we strive to live with and for the Spirit of Truth. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You!

To aim for perfection, in imitation of Jesus Christ, we have to pray for sinners and enemies, as Our Lord said to his disciples, and we are reminded today (Mt 5:43-48): "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Heavenly Father." The Most Holy Virgin Mary revealed to us in Fatima that many souls are lost in Hell because there is no one who prays for them. The Divine power is built on love, not only for the faithful and the righteous, but also for everyone. The mercy of Christ reaches anyone, especially the greatest sinners. Mind you, we love the sinners but we reject their sin—and any sin at this point. When we interact with them, we have to graciously make it clear that sin destroys every soul. Ave Maria!

• June 19, 2023, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! Reflecting upon the Gospel of yesterday (St. Matthew 9:36, 10:8), we realize that through the sacrament of Baptism, we were called to be apostles by preaching the message of Christ. In imitation of Jesus, we have to show compassion for sinners while rejecting sin. When Jesus saw the crowd "he was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd." Mind you, among these people there were also tax collectors who cheated, robbers, murderers, adulterers who violated their marriage vows, and nominal believers in God who never went to the temple. Yet Jesus, who read their minds, had pity on them, for He saw that most acted out of ignorance. Christ said the harvest was plentiful and He needed more harvesters. The Lord isn't asking us to give up our present occupation or to leave home and family to become priests or missionaries. The work we can do and which he is asking us to do is on our very doorsteps. In some cases, it is inside—in our own homes. And the first movement towards this apostolate to our fellow men is to show a good example of a truly Christian life! Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You!

In today's Sunday main reading (Matthew 9:36—10:8), we see how "Jesus' heart was moved with pity for the crowd because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd." Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest." Jesus sent out his twelve apostles instructing them to proclaim that "The kingdom of heaven is at hand." As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states, the Church is apostolic, through the successors of St. Peter and the other apostles, "to spread the Kingdom of Christ over all the earth." "The Christian vocation is, of its nature, a vocation to the apostolate." To Jesus through Mary! Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York
