• July 6, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! The month of July is dedicated to the Precious Blood of Jesus. The Son of God shed His Blood for us on His Passion in the way to the Calvary. The early Fathers said that the Church of God was born from the pierced side of Christ, and that the sacraments were brought forth through His Blood. It's the Blood made present on the altars during the Mass by the words of Consecration. His Blood is source of sanctifying grace for us. It washes our soul and starts our eternal life. At the Rosary Network, we embrace faithfully this devotion. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York [ Second Year Anniversary | In the Memory of María Blanca ] We celebrate today the memorial of St. Maria Goretti, an Italian contemporary virgin and martyr who preferred to die rather than be raped.
• June 29, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! We venerate today, June 29th, two great Apostles, Peter and Paul. They are the solid rock on which the Church of God is built. Together, through preaching and martyrdom in Rome, they set the Holy See. Peter was given by the Lord the name of Chephas (Petrus in Latin), which means 'rock'. St. Peter was the first to recognize that Jesus was "the Messiah, the Son of the Living God." He was not perfect and made mistakes, such as losing faith on the night of the Passion of Christ. Yet despite his human weaknesses, Peter was chosen to lead the Church becoming the first Bishop and Pope of Rome. He was crucified upside-down at his own request, because he claimed he was not worthy to die as the Lord. St. Paul, a Jewish pharisee who persecuted Christians, experienced a dramatic conversion, chosen to be the Apostle of the Gentiles. He preached the Gospel tirelessly in the Mediterranean, writing letters inspired by the Holy Spirit. Paul was imprisoned and taken to Rome, where he was beheaded in the year 67. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Saints Peter and Paul, Pray for Us! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York [ Second Year Anniversary | In the Memory of María Blanca ]

We live for God, as my wife Maria Blanca was telling us when she was at the ICU in a hospital before dying, eight months ago today. The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, and the Virgin Mary dwell with us in our earthly existence and await for us in the next life — regardless we acknowledge this eternal truth or not. Only Divine power saves us from the storm of life. Like the apostles in the boat — and that’s today’s beautiful reading (Mt 8:23-27) — we might feel that we are perishing, swamped by the waves. But we are not. We should live not in fear, but in trusting in Jesus Christ and His beloved Mother. We are joyful because we live for God. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Pray for Us! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York [ Second Year Anniversary | In the Memory of María Blanca ] [In the picture above, Maria Blanca walking towards the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, at the Cerro de Los Angeles, in Madrid, Spain]
• June 27, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! Today, June 27, the Universal Church of Christ, celebrates the feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. This Marian advocation revolves around the icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, painted on wood, with background of gold, in the thirteenth century. It is Byzantine in style and it represents the Mother of God holding the Divine Child while the Archangels Michael and Gabriel show the instruments of His Passion. Our Lady appears full of sorrow, expressing compassion and sympathy for us in our fears. The icon was brought to Rome towards the end of the fifteenth century by a pious merchant. Since then, crowds, including Popes, have venerated the icon, and many graces and marvelous healings were obtained through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Pray for Us! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York [ Second Year Anniversary | In the Memory of María Blanca ]
• June 26, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! God has created us to be free. To achieve freedom we must stand firm against sin and avoid its slavery. St. Paul reminds us this fundamental truth in his letter to the Galatians (Gal 5:1, 13-16) today. He encourages us to use this freedom not for the flesh and carnal pleasure but to serving one another through love. Be guided by the Spirit, live by the Holy Spirit, advises Paul. The Spirit and the flesh are opposed to each other. This conclusion is very timely today. In our secular society, sexual immorality is rampant. And following the desires of the flesh is contrary to God. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York [ Second Year Anniversary | In the Memory of María Blanca ]
