Today, the Catholic Church honors the Seven Holy Founders of the Servite Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary. They were seven noble Florentines who in the thirteenth century (1240), in the midst of a civil war, and disregarding their wealth and birth status, founded together a community with a special purpose: Cultivate the spirit of penance and meditate on the passion of Christ and Mary's Seven Sorrows. The Blessed Mother appeared to each of them individually and urged them to begin a more perfect life. They accomplished great things and benefited millions by arousing devotion to the Mother of Sorrows. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York
• February 10, 2023, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! We continue to ask for the intercession of the Virgin Mary for the 23,000 victims of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, their families, friends, and all those injured. The chaos in the region is making it very difficult for aid to arrive, and people are desperate. In today's Gospel (Mk 7:31-37), the apostles witnessed Jesus healing a deaf man, allowing him to both hear and speak. "Ephphatha!" Jesus exclaimed, meaning "Be opened!" At once, the man's ears were opened and his speech impediment was removed, enabling him to speak clearly. "He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak," the apostles marveled. This serves as a metaphor for all of us, reminding us to listen to the Eternal Word and have the courage to speak the truth. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York
• February 9, 2023, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! While we continue praying and asking for the intercession of the Virgin Mary for the thousands of victims of a deadly earthquake in Turkey and Syria, we reflect upon the reading of today's Psalm. It proclaims (Ps 128:1-2, 3, 4-5): Blessed are those who fear the Lord. The word "fear" does not mean being afraid of God. It's more of a deep sense of respect, reverence, and worship for God. To "fear the Lord" is considered to be a good thing. The phrase "blessed are those who fear the Lord" means that those who hold God in high regard and live according to His ways will be blessed, considered joyful and hopeful. Ave Maria!

• February 8, 2023, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! Following Pope Francis, we ask for the intercession of the Virgin Mary for the thousands of victims of a deadly earthquake in Turkey and Syria. "Let’s pray together so that these brothers and sisters can move forward from this tragedy. And we pray that Our Lady will protect them," the Pope on Feb. 8. A series of large earthquakes in parts of Turkey and Syria on Feb. 6 created massive destruction and killed an estimated 12,000 people, according to the latest available estimates. "With deep feeling, I pray for them and express my closeness to these peoples, to the families of the victims, and to all those who suffer because of this devastating natural disaster," the Pope said. “I thank all those who are working to bring assistance and encouragement to them,” he added, “and solidarity to those areas, in part already tormented by a long war.” Ave Maria!

• February 7, 2023, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! We continue to pray for the earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria, with a death toll surpassing 5,400. This disaster, one of the deadliest this century, highlights the importance of coming together to support and comfort those affected. It also highlights the need for the world to convert to Jesus Christ. The passion and sacrifice of Jesus as shown in his crucifixion — and as we reflect upon the Sorrowful Mysteries that we pray today — demonstrates the depth of love and suffering. Jesus, as the crucified and resurrected, offers hope for eternal life. Seeking guidance and comfort in faith can provide solace and understanding. Ave Maria!
