• January 6, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast of this Rosary • In Memoriam of Maria Blanca: Testimonials Friends of the Rosary: We celebrate today the Solemnity of the Epiphany: the Magi come from the East to adore the Savior. As the Scripture said, "And entering into the house, they found the Child with Mary, His Mother, and falling down they adored Him." Epiphany means manifestation. It's the manifestation of the Lord to the whole world, an affirmation of universal salvation. Jesus, the Messiah, is revealed as the light of the nations. The Magi — Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthasar — reached Bethlehem, kneeling down for the baby Jesus. They led in the wake of all the people on earth. And their adoration marked the beginning of the Christian faith. In Spanish-speaking countries, the Epiphany, the Three Kings, la festividad de los Reyes Magos, is a large celebration. Kids receive presents like Jesus was offered by the Three Kings gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York
• December 30, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast of this Rosary • In Memoriam of Maria Blanca: Testimonials Reflecting on the scene of the Nativity, the mystery of the Magi shakes us. The Three Kings journeyed from the East to pay homage to a baby born in a stable in Bethlehem. They were overjoyed at seeing the star and prostrate in front of Christ the King of the Universe. They realized that Christ's kingship was infinitely greater than any other temporal power on Earth. Like the Three Kings, we should come only to adore Christ, not to political leaders. Politics, like sports and other distractions, have become a fake faith. Our real King is Jesus Christ. To him alone we owe alliance. Ave Maria!

• December 29, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast of this Rosary • In Memoriam of Maria Blanca: Testimonials The family is — or should be — an experience of love. A domestic church, as we mentioned last Sunday on the feast day of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. In addition, we all belong to a supernatural family, with Our Father, Our Brother Jesus Christ, and Our Mother the Virgin Mary, along with the companion of Archangels, Angels, Apostles, Patriarch, and Saints. We joined this heavenly family with our Baptism. When we depart from our earthly life toward the House of the Lord, there will be room for each and every one of us in there. As Jesus said, "My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?" John 14:2. That's another reason to rejoice this Christmas. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York
• December 28, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast of this Rosary • In Memoriam of Maria Blanca: Testimonials We celebrate today the memory of the small children of the neighborhood of Bethlehem put to death by the wicked monarch Herod. These mass-murdered innocent lives bear witness to Christ, who was persecuted from the His birth by a world that denied the Holy and Righteous One. The persecutors — the political leaders of that time — felt powerful. It's like today's anti-Christian governments that promote and impose agendas against the true faith. In the reality, they all are powerless, because Christ, with His own blood, performed a work of salvation that nothing can prevent. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. In addition, we've already won, although we might suffer a little bit more in this earthly dwelling. The Holy Innocents — hailed as "infant martyr flowers" by St. Augustine — ended up attaining the grace of everlasting life. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Holy Innocents, Pray for Us! + Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York
• December 27, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast of this Rosary • In Memoriam of Maria Blanca: Testimonials We observe today the Feast of St. John, Apostle and Evangelist, the beloved disciple of Jesus, leaning on the Master's breast in the Last Supper. St. John, a Galilean fisherman like his brother St. James, wrote the fourth Gospel, three Epistles, and the Revelation. At the foot of the cross, Jesus entrusted His Mother to his care. St. John was the only one of the Apostles who did not forsake the Savior in the hour of His Passion and Death. St. John died in peace at Ephesus at ninety-four years old, preaching the message of loving one another. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! St. John, Pray for Us! + Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York
