• October 9, 2021, Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET Our modern society has made emotions, feelings, and pleasures a priority. We have absolutized them, in accordance with the dominant view of the human being as the center of the universe. In other words, we try to build a society without God. Our Western countries do not deny God; they just relegate the Divinity to a secondary role. This social construction is a failure. Just take a look at how unhappy and despaired are people to notice that a world without Jesus Christ is a complete disaster. Emotions, feelings, and even pleasures are good as long as we understand that they are a gift from God, and are used to help others and love the Creator. Emotions and feelings are subordinated to the salvific and loving plan of God. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York
• October 2, 2021, Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET Today, October 2nd, we celebrate the feast of the Holy Guardian Angels. Angels are servants and messengers from God. They are spiritual, non-corporeal, eternal beings, superior to humans, with free will and intellect. They move out of the barriers of space and time — a concept that the human mind cannot understand. These spirits — billions of them — are sent by the Father to be our protectors, helpers, and guides. That's why they are trustworthy, intelligent, and strong. Each person on earth has an individual guardian angel who watches over him and helps him to attain salvation. Angelic guardianship's protection happens from birth until death. This is a truth of faith. We must remain close to angels and invoke our personal protector as often as we sense any temptation. We can also call out the Queen of Angels, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and St. Michael the Archangel. A final note: the practice of assigning names to the Holy Angels is discouraged by the Church, except in the cases of Gabriel, Raphael, and Michael, whose names are contained in Holy Scripture. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Holy Guardian Angels, Pray for Us! + Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York —–
• October 1, 2021, Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET Today is the memorial of the French, Discalced Carmelite nun in the nineteenth century, St. Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, more popularly known as St. Therese of Lisieux, or the "the Little Flower." She died of consumption on September 30, 1897, at the age of 24. "The Little Flower" attained a very high degree of holiness by carrying out her ordinary daily duties with perfect fidelity, having a childlike confidence in God's providence and merciful love. Declared Doctor of the Church by Pope Saint John Paul II, she was always ready to be at the service of others at all times. She prayed especially for priests. Her interior life is known through her autobiography called Story of a Soul. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! St. Therese of the Child Jesus, Pray for Us! + Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York –– Resources: Society of the Little Flower National Shrine of the Little Flower in Royal Oak, Michigan Basilica of the National Shrine of the Little Flower in San Antonio, Texas.
• September 30, 2021, Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET When we trust in Jesus and Mary, we accept the Divine Will — which is unfathomable and far beyond our comprehension. No matter how adverse and painful it looks, the Divine Will works for the benefit of our soul. It might take us years to understand the meaning of events. By the grace of the faith, we embrace peacefully trials and suffering experiences. We put ourselves at the foot of the Cross and look at the agonizing Jesus Christ. We invoke his Holy Mother and conclude that our struggle on Earth is out of our control. Jesus will provide at the right time. It means that we don’t put into test the Lord nor trade or demand any favor. We take refuge in the sacred heart of Jesus and the immaculate heart of Mary. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Sts. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael Pray for Us! + Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York ––––
• September 29, 2021, Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET Today is the feast of the three Archangels, Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. These God's messengers are named in the Scriptures several times, and all three have critical roles in the history of our salvation. St. Michael is the "Prince of the Heavenly Host," the leader of the angels, a warrior who goes against Lucifer and his followers, defeating them consistently — with the help of the Blessed Virgin Mary. At the end of each Rosary, we ask for the protection of St. Michael. St. Gabriel, whose name means "God's strength", appears to announce to Zacharias the birth of John the Baptists, and to the Virgin Mary during the mystery of the incarnation. Probably, he appeared as well to St. Joseph and to Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane. St. Raphael appears in critical moments for healing and acts of mercy. His name means "God has healed." We ardently love our three Archangels. We recognize them as spectacular companions in our dwelling on Earth. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Sts. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael Pray for Us! + Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York –––– Today, on the feast day of the three holy archangels, we pray for the health of Maria Blanca, in the Divine Will. She is still hospitalized in La Paz (Madrid), as her condition has worsened in the last few days. We are hopeful that she will recover and will come home soon. Ave Maria! ––––
