• May 29, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! Today, on the Seventh Sunday of Easter, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Ascension of Jesus Christ, in his human nature, triumphantly into his Father’s and our Father’s home. There, in Heaven, He seats on the Father’s right hand and shares His glory. As Christ rises, we all ascend into Heaven with new, glorified bodies, and begin the true life in eternal joy. By the grace of the faith, we know that death is not our end. It’s rather the real beginning. It’s the door to eternal life. In Heaven, we will find our beloved ones, who departed earlier and live with them forever. The earthly death just breaks the continuity with our dear ones only for a little while. Today, we look up to Heaven and see Christ, who suffered a sorrowful passion, ascending to His Father and entering the life of glory. Ave Maria!

The Catechism expresses perfectly well what it means to be a Catholic. In our freedom, we can choose any path we wish. Politicians, including the pro-abortion ones, are free to decide as well. However, in this earthly life, we cannot pick two masters. Either we decide to embrace the Holy Eucharist as it is — the full body and blood of Christ — or we reject it, or even worse, reinvent it. Lukewarm Catholics, those who want to accommodate the true faith to their own interests, are mostly struggling people — and we need to be compassionate with them. We want them close, in the truth of Jesus Christ, following fully the Magisterium of the Church. Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone [in the picture] is a courageous priest who speaks the truth. He simply defends the sanctity of human life as, an administrator of sacraments, including the holy communion. Priests and laypeople are destined to suffer against the push of the new world order. Prayer is our best tool. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York [ Second Year Anniversary | In the Memory of María Blanca ]
• May 21, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! We are not in the business of pleasing the world. We are in the business of serving the Holy Trinity. The ruler of the world wants us to deny Jesus Christ and embrace his dark program — which is obviously presented as a compelling solution. In today’s reading (Jn 15:18-21), Jesus reminds us that the world only loves its own, but we Christians do not belong there. We, the faithful followers of Jesus will lose most of the fights here on Earth until we win the final battle and be rewarded with the crown of eternal life. From one loss to another until the victory. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York [ Second Year Anniversary | In the Memory of María Blanca ]
• May 20, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! One of the holy men canonized by Pope Francis in St. Peter's Square last Sunday was Charles de Foucauld, a martyred French priest who lived among the Tuareg people in the Algerian desert and brought the Gospel to Muslim lands. His missionary zeal cost him his life in 1916, being assassinated by an armed tribal group. Let us reproduce the Prayer of Abandonment of St. Charles de Foucauld. Father, I abandon myself into your hands; do with me what you will. Whatever you may do, I thank you: I am ready for all, I accept all. Let only your will be done in me, and in all your creatures. I wish no more than this, O Lord. Into your hands I commend my soul: I offer it to you with all the love of my heart, for I love you, Lord, and so need to give myself, to surrender myself into your hands without reserve, and with boundless confidence, for you are my Father. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York [ Second Year Anniversary | In the Memory of María Blanca ]
• May 19, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! Happiness is temporary but joy is eternal. In today's reading (Jn 15:9-11), Jesus Christ reveals to us the secret of joy: "Remain in my love". A jumpstart in the love of God, his grace, and joy is the Emmaus Retreats, organized by laypeople. They are a unique, life-transformational experience for anyone needed to renew or strengthen his or her trust in Jesus Christ. Emmaus retreats are based on one episode in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 24: 13-35). On the road to Emmaus, two disciples encounter the risen Christ in a profound manner. This weekend 28 walking disciples of the Greenwich, Connecticut area will likely see their hearts touched by the Holy Spirit. Today, these brave men are joining us in the Rosary Network to pray with us. We dedicate this Rosary to the holy intention of the retreat. In addition, we encourage members of our community to consider joining an Emmaus event in your area. It's a not to be missed retreat. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York [ Second Year Anniversary | In the Memory of María Blanca ]
