"I am going away and I will come back to you." Christ also said to his disciples: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid." Christianity is a religion of salvation and fulfillment, but it's also a religion of waiting. We stay vigilant while Christ comes again. And we wait avoiding any anxiety and distress. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York

It purifies the soul. In suffering, we learn who our true friend is." We suffer in the light of our faith. Our faith is the precious gift we have received from Heaven so we can understand the mystery of suffering. With Christ, we carry our own cross — or crosses — and with Him, we enter the glory of eternity through the resurrection of the body. Let us not complain, but instead rejoice silently in our pain.

• May 1, 2023, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! Today is the memorial day of St. Joseph the Worker. On this day, we see human labor in the light of faith. Pope Pius XII established this feast in 1955 to give all workmen a model and protector. We honor the chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary, in the month dedicated to the Blessed Mother. St. Joseph offered his daily work to God with patience and joy, becoming an example to all laborers. He provided for the necessities of his holy spouse and the Incarnate Son of God. Leo XIII rightly wrote: "Workmen and all those laboring in conditions of poverty will have reasons to rejoice rather than grieve since they have in common with the Holy Family daily preoccupations and cares" Pope Pius XII expressed the hope that this feast would accentuate the dignity of labor and would bring a spiritual dimension to labor unions. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! St. Joseph, Pray for Us! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York
• April 30, 2023, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! Today, the Fourth Sunday of Easter is Good Shepherd Sunday. Christ Himself is the Good Shepherd, who knows each one of His sheep and gives His life for them. He said: "My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me." (John 10:27) The Divine Shepherd was willing to sacrifice everything for his sheep. He did not let suffering, persecution, or rejection deter Him from His responsibility of caring for us in a complete way. No matter what "wolf" comes our way, we must know of the perfect love of Jesus Christ. He also wants us to return this gift to Him by offering this same unwavering commitment to one another. Let's reflect, today, on how well we imitate the Good Shepherd. Let Him shepherd us so that we may shepherd others by being instruments of his deep love and commitment. Ave Maria!

• April 29, 2023, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! Today is the Memorial of St. Catherine of Siena (1347-1380), Virgin and a doctor of the Church, along with Teresa of Avila and a very influential saint. Pope John Paul II proclaimed her patron saint of Europe. She is also the patron saint of journalists, media, and nursing. St. Catherine of Siena was an extraordinary laywoman in the Middle Ages. Her continual appeals for civil peace and reform of the Church make her one of the leading figures of the fourteenth century. She journeyed to Avignon and persuaded Pope Gregory XI to return to Rome. She made peace between worldly princes. The heads of Church and State bowed to her words. St. Catherine of Siena acquired great influence through her life of prayer and extraordinary mortifications as well as by the spread of her spiritual writings. A tertiary of the Dominican Order, she was favored with visions of Christ from the age of seven. Unbelievable were her austerities, her miracles, her ecstasies. The reputation of her sanctity soon spread abroad; thousands came to see her, to be converted by her. The priests associated with her were unable to accommodate the crowds of penitents. She was a helper and a consoler in every need. St. Catherine of Siena died at age 33 in Rome, and most of her body is buried there at Santa Maria Sopra Minerva Basilica. Saint Catherine of Siena is remembered as a powerful example of faith, humility, and selflessness, and is revered by Catholics around the world as a model of holiness and devotion to God. Her feast day is celebrated with special Masses and other devotions in many Catholic churches. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You!
