In today Sunday’s reading, (Lk 10:38-42), we recreate the scene of two faithful sisters, Mary and Martha, in her home with Jesus. Mary was delighted, seated at the feet of Jesus listening to Him speak, while Martha, was busy, burdened with much serving. Jesus explains that there is no need to worry and be anxious when Jesus talks. Martha is the symbol of active, apostolic life, and Mary is contemplation. Both are part of the Christian life, and both are needed to reach the Divinity. What matters is to always have Christ at the center of our life. Ave Maria!

• July 10, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! Today Sunday, we delight with the parable of the Good Samaritan (St. Luke 10:25-37), who is Jesus Christ and His infinite merciful love for us. The beaten victim on the road is Adam, the source and symbol of all fallen mankind. Moved by man’s suffering, God the Father sends His Son down to earth. In his compassion, the Son cure our wounds and, moreover, offers Himself to be the expiation for our sins. "God so loved the world, so we ought to love one another" (1 Jn 4:9-11). This parable shows that our neighbor is anyone who needs our help. Organized religion might not show its compassion, but we, as followers of Christ, must serve one another and never distance from from others' needs. Ave Maria!

• July 9, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! The Christian life is a battle against the seductions of our society, including the social life. Carrying the Cross is an extremely demanding business. Unless we have immense faith and we surrender to the Divinity, we won’t make it. We need the grace of Jesus and Mary to stay in the path of the salvation. Alone we will end up failing. Jesus was clear. He told us in yesterday’s reading: "Whoever endures to the end will be saved." We hold the Rosary of Mary in the hope to receive the strength and the grace to endure until the end. Our eternal soul is at stake. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York [ Second Year Anniversary | In the Memory of María Blanca ]
• July 8, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! Instinctively, we are selfish and self-centered. We are damaged by the original sin. This tendency to making ourselves the center of everything and being just concerned with our own interest is really damaging. With the baptism we received the invitation to start escaping from selfishness. Our worldly nature pushes us to embrace pleasures and vanities while our spiritual inner sense invites us to seek God. The ruler of the world, the Father of Lies, twists our mind with empty promises, intended to reject God. And, sadly he is mostly successful. Among the forces of good and evil our life is consumed. In the Holy Rosary of Mary — a perfect summary of the Gospel — we find the truth and peace. This is our prayer and our salvific tool for now and forever. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York [ Second Year Anniversary | In the Memory of María Blanca ]
• July 7, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! We are called for freedom. But freedom not as today’s secular society defines it, meaning self-indulgence. Christian’s freedom is directed to love and serve one another through love. It’s freedom to escape from the slavery of sin, including temptation of the flesh. Everyone wants to be free, free of any economical, cultural, or social prison. What about then about cultivating our interior freedom? Pope Francis recently said that "many people lack the greatest freedom of all, which is interior freedom." Along with that, and with the help of Christ’s grace, we can use our freedom to love the people that God has put at our side. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York [ Second Year Anniversary | In the Memory of María Blanca ]
