Yesterday, during the feast day of Our Lady of the Rosary, we addressed Mary as Our Lady of Victories and the Queen of Victories. These titles have deep meaning. With her motherly intercession, Mary helps us to win our battles against Evil. She teaches us the path of victory: humility and obedience to the will of God, as we learn in the first Joyful Mystery today. To the Angel, the Virgin of Nazareth said: "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word". The abandonment to God’s will is the secret of every Christian life, as it opens for every Christian the doors of grace. And the Rosary becomes an effective weapon of victory, to which Christ's promise applies very well: "Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you" (Lk 11,9).

• October 1, 2021, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! Today, October 1st, on the month dedicated to the Holy Rosary, we honor, on her Memorial Day, St. Therese of the Child Jesus, more popularly known as "the Little Flower. Today, we also celebrate the Holy Face of Jesus. St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus (1873-1897), a French cloistered Carmelite nun, was declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope St. John Paul II. Her interior life is known through her autobiography Story of a Soul. She attained holiness by being at the service of others at all times and by having a childlike confidence in God's providence and merciful love. She carried out her ordinary daily duties with perfect fidelity. She prayed especially for priests and the conversion of souls. Thérèse of Lisieux died of consumption on September 30, 1897, at the age of 24, and was canonized in 1925. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You!

In yesterday’s reading, the apostle Nathaniel, who recognized Jesus Christ as the Son of God, was promised to see great things. The Lord Jesus told him (Jn 1:47-51) “You will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” That’s what awaits us if we humbly seek the grace and wisdom of God: unexpected, glorious events today that we cannot even imagine due to our limited understanding. Believing is trusting in the promises of Christ Jesus. The Holy Trinity is counting on the right exercise of our free will so we can join the Heavenly court and be eternally joyful in the Communion of Saints and with our beloved family members and friends. We must not disappoint the Divinity! Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Sts. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael Pray for Us! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York
• September 29, 2021, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! Today, we celebrate the feast day of the archangels Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, the holy archangels with important roles in the history of salvation. Michael — whose name means Who is like God? —, the Prince of the Heavenly Host, is the protector of all humanity from the snares of the Devil. St. Michael was the leader of all of the good angels, who fought against Lucifer and his followers when they rebelled against God, breaking a battle in Heaven. Pope Leo XIII, in 1899, having had a prophetic vision of the evil that would be inflicted upon the Church and the world in the 20th century, instituted a prayer asking for Saint Michael's protection to be said at the end of every Mass. Gabriel (Strength of God) announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father Zacharias, and the Incarnation of the Word in the womb of Mary. He greeted the Holy Virgin with the "Hail, full of grace." St. Gabriel might be the angel who consoled Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Raphael is the archangel who healed Tobias' blindness. He is in charge of healing and acts of mercy. His name means "God has healed." Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Sts.

This is the text: "I have just moved to the neighboring room. I am who I am … you are whom you are, That which we were to one another, We will always be. Call me by my name. Speak to me like you've always did. Don't use a different tone … Don't take that look; solemn or sad. Continue to laugh at that which made us laugh together. Pray, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be pronounced at home, As it always was, Without pomposity or gloom. Life is still the same, It is what it always was The string has not been cut. Why should I be away from your thoughts? Just because I am away from your sight? I am not far, just on the other side of the road. You see, everything is fine … Wipe your tears and cry no more. If you love me …" Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York
