• February 8, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast of this Rosary • In Memoriam of Maria Blanca: Testimonials Friends of the Rosary: In the Revelation (21:1-22:21), John the Apostle saw the new Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down out of Heaven. In this city, God was dwelling with men. He was with his people. No tears, pain, or suffering anymore in the new Jerusalem, that one day, with Divine Grace, we all will eternally enjoy. This is what awaits us sooner or later. This is not a fantasy. This is the promise of paradise made by the Son of God himself. With the daily prayer of the Rosary of Mary, we reaffirm our desire to join the Communion of Saints, which is what we call Heaven — or the new Jerusalem in this case. As St. Paul wrote (1 Corinthians 2:9), "what no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him." Ave Maria!

• February 1, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast of this Rosary • In Memoriam of Maria Blanca: Testimonials Friends of the Rosary: A global apostasy is underway. Promoted by mainstream leaders and politicians in Europe and the Americas — echoing a large number of citizens — the world is trying to create a Godless humanitarian society. A sort of new-age religion that takes some of the Christian values and dangerously mixes them with ideologies inspired by Hell. These ideas end up destroying mankind, making many miserable and hopeless, now and eternally damned in the next life. It’s the playbook of the Devil, which takes advantage of the ignorance and pride of people. This is sad because as a human family we don’t want to lose any member. How do we confront these troubled souls? Through personal example. By being charitable and prayerful we try to revert the negative turn taken by our modern society. Ave Maria!

• January 31, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast of this Rosary • In Memoriam of Maria Blanca: Testimonials Friends of the Rosary: Today, January 31st is St. John Bosco's Memorial Day. Founder of the Salesian Society and of the Daughters of Mary Auxiliatrix, St. John Bosco was an enlightened educator and innovator. This nineteenth-century Italian priest was a great apostle of youth. As a seeker of souls, Don Bosco formulated a system of education based on "reason, religion, and kindness." Ave Maria!

• January 30, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast of this Rosary • In Memoriam of Maria Blanca: Testimonials Friends of the Rosary: The Faith in Jesus and Mary is our guiding star. We cultivate this virtue to improve our life. And it works. And what’s interesting is that improvement increases exponentially. Jesus explained it in last Thursday's reading (Mk 4:21-25), “to the one who has, more will be given; from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away." Life is certainly a Cross. But when the burden is shared with Jesus, we receive life in abundance. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York
• January 29, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast of this Rosary • In Memoriam of Maria Blanca: Testimonials Friends of the Rosary: Today’s reading (Mk 4:35-41) depicts the apostles terrified on a boat shaken by waves and winds, while Jesus was calm, asleep on a cushion. What a contrast between the weakness of the human race, challenged by the lack of faith, and the Divinity, confident in the power of the eternal truth. Jesus Christ, our role model to imitate, is telling us over and over again not to be afraid since He is the living God dwelling among us. We just need to have faith. What makes us great and keeps us alive is faith in Jesus Christ. That’s our only richness. We live for God and we live for others. That’s the eternal truth that we have difficulty understanding and cultivating. We invoke Our Blessed Mother’s help in the Joyful Mysteries. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York
