United Kingdom's Queen Elizabeth II was a global leader for whom faith was both personal and professional — and that's remarkable in a world dominated by faithless leaders or lukewarm Christians. We briefly reflect on Elizabeth II's religious legacy. As head of the royal family, she helped to lead the protestant Church of England and held the title of "Defender of the Faith". The senior Bishop in the Church of England, the Rev. Justin Welby, noted that Elizabeth's trust in God was visible throughout her 70 years in power. "She lived out her faith every day of her life. Her trust in God and profound love for God was foundational in how she led her life — hour by hour, day by day," the Rev. Welby said in a statement. During the pandemic, the Queen spoke of the light that no darkness can overcome. She reminded us that we are people of hope who care for one another. "In The Late Queen’s life, we saw what it means to receive the gift of life we have been given by God and – through patient, humble, selfless service – share it as a gift to others." "She allowed her life of service to be an instrument of God’s peace among us." May she rests in peace. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York

The fruit of the first Joyful Mystery of the Incarnation is what defines the saints and the holy people of God. Jesus Christ, in Matthew 23:12, told us: "Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." To be great, we need to serve, as the Son of God did. He came to serve not to be served… And he was God! There is a great passage in the Old Testament that we read last Sunday in the book of Sirach (Sir 3:17-18, 20, 28-29): "My child, conduct your affairs with humility, and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts. Humble yourself the more, the greater you are, and you will find favor with God." Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York

In today's Sorrowful Mysteries we reflect upon the power of salvific suffering while we walk across a park in Stamford, Connecticut. Our joy comes from the discovery of the meaning of suffering. Saint Paul wrote: "Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake." The Apostle shared his own discovery and rejoiced in it. Suffering seems to be essential to the nature of man. It is as deep as the man himself because it belongs to man's transcendence. Life is the Cross… and the Resurrection. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York

In yesterday's reading (LK 4:38-44), we hear Jesus saying to the crowds, "I must proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God because for this purpose I have been sent." Belonging to the Kingdom of God is what makes our life meaningful. Our faith and our affiliation with Jesus Christ are the essences of our existence. Otherwise, no matter how fanciful and apparently humanitarian all the theories, philosophies, and lifestyle ideas we invent, our existence is going to be miserable. Only the Holy Trinity with the Spouse of the Holy Spirit, the Communion of Saints, and the Heavenly court are able to give us peace and comfort. Only by accepting and embracing the Divine Will within us, we are able to understand our own human existence. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York

We recourse to the Rosary to face many challenges in our personal and collective life. The history of the Rosary shows how this prayer was used at a difficult time due to the spread of heresy or the attacks of the Evil One. As St. John Paul II wrote, "the Rosary is one of the traditional paths o Christian prayer directed to the contemplation of Christ's face." Ave Maria!
