In today's reading, Jesus Christ introduces another wonderful image to describe his relationship with us. (Jn 15:1-8): "I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing." We bear fruit in Christ. Only when we remain in Him we are joyful, hopeful, and full of life. When we reject to remain in Christ, then chaos, destruction, and death arise. How can the majority of us be so ignorant and reckless? It’s because the ruler of the world, the prince of lies, messes with us, and makes us fall. Our daily conversion is needed to stay on the path of salvation and share the glory and joy of God.

Today, we pray the Glorious Mysteries from Greenwich, Connecticut — from the house I lived with María Blanca, Blanki, for ten years. Earthly life means continuous change, and now we are moving forward to a new location, a less spacious place, in Stamford, Connecticut. The emotional attachment to places and things makes things tough, but the Holy Rosary gives us the strength to deal with any move or adversity. Praying daily the Rosary of Mary is our secret weapon here on earth. The Holy Virgin provided us with this supernatural tool for a reason! Ave Maria!

This month, a friend told me that an 8 years-old child he knew died as a victim of painful cancer. The family was devastated. The parents thought that God was punishing them for their sinful behavior in the past. But the Divinity doesn’t operate this way. It’s the opposite. In fact, God sent his only beloved Son, who suffered death on a Cross. Jesus Christ proved that his extreme suffering was a source of salvation. When it is freely accepted and offered to God, sorrow transforms us into a better version of ourselves. Suffering purifies and gets us closer to the Father, as we are following the model of Christ. This is a deep mystery. Six months after my holy wife passed away, my family is still in pain. Suffering is helping us to become closer to Jesus and Mary — and that’s a source of peace and joy. Sorrow and pain do not come to hurt you. On the contrary, they come to save us. God doesn’t want you to suffer without meaning. Ave Maria!

• May 9, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! All that is visible and invisible belongs to God’s creation, and all are intended to proclaim His glory. Yesterday, we celebrated Mother’s Day and Good Shepherd Sunday. Motherhood and Divine shepherding are mysteries that we barely understand. We rejoice as children of God, because, as his Son said, nothing can separate, or will separate us, from the Holy Trinity. In His infinite and sacrificial love, God gave us eternal life. Life on Earth is just one step toward our sanctification. True, we struggle and suffer in this valley of tears, but we need to be patient and humble, setting our sight on Jesus the Good Shepherd. He is the Holy One that never disappoints. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York [ Second Year Anniversary | In the Memory of María Blanca ]
• May 8, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! Today, Fourth Sunday of Easter, is Mother's Day and Good Shepherd Sunday. Jesus Christ is the Divine Shepherd, the true Shepherd of our souls, who knows each one of His sheep and who gives His life for them. Jesus Christ remains with us through the bond of grace. He was willing to go all the way for us, His sheep. He was willing to sacrifice everything. He showed us — and is showing today — how deep His sacrificial love for us really is. In the same way, we should act as His instruments of deep love and commitment, fulfilling our role of shepherding the people of God. "My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me." (John 10:27) The Lord is My Shepherd! Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York [ Second Year Anniversary | In the Memory of María Blanca ]
