April 26, 2021, Monday of the Fourth Week of Easter, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries) | Comment: Green Pastures

• April 26, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET Jesus is the good shepherd, as we are also reminded in today’s reading. (John 10:1-10) He is the gate for the sheep that drives us into green pastures, the Psalms state. Jesus is the only one who leads us to abundant life. "Whoever enters through me will be saved." The Savior warns us against false prophets and ideas. "All who come before me are thieves and robbers." These thieves come "only to steal, slaughter, and destroy". Are we listening? The Son of God’s words are eternal. No matter the age and the political structures of the moment, the Christian wisdom for a fruitful life doesn’t change. We pray the Joyful Mysteries today.

• April 19, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET Humility is the foundation of all virtues, said St. Augustine. If we are arrogant, ignorant, and unable to forgive, we fall and poison our souls. In the passage of Acts of the Apostles (Acts 3:13-15, 17-19) that we read yesterday, St. Peter said that the Author of Life was put to death out of ignorance. People at that time denied the Holy and the Righteous One. Today it isn’t much different. With our offenses and insults, we crucify the Holy One. Ignorance doesn’t absolve the sin. Modern society has excluded the Divinity from its life and moreover threatens to suffocate holiness as a virtue. The first joyful mystery of today refers to the humility of Mary. Our Mother in Heaven, co-redeemer, and mediatrix of all grace, will help us to get rid of all ignorance and unforgiveness. Ave Maria!

April 18, 2021, Third Sunday of Easter, Holy Rosary (Glorious Mysteries) | Comment: Resurrected Body

• April 18, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET As Peter explains in the first ready today (Acts 3:13-15, 17-19), "you put the author of life to death, but God raised him from the dead; of this we are witnesses." Luke the Apostle narrates one of the apparitions of the risen Jesus to his eleven disciples (Luke 24:35–48). Jesus Christ tells them: "Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me and see because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have." And as he said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. The evangelist states that the apostles were “incredulous for joy and amazed.” Jesus’ body is transformed and transfigured, independent of the structures of space and time. His resurrected, spiritual body is a foretaste of what the Father intends for all of us, exactly like the saints, our loved ones, and anyone who died faithfully in Christ and Mary. Ave Maria! Jesus, We Trust In You! + Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York

• April 17, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET Christmas marks Jesus Christ’s incarnation and birth; Easter, His resurrection after a sorrowful passion; and Pentecost, the arrival of the Holy Spirit. All these joyful festivities — that the majority of people miss or misunderstand — help to model our existence in imitation to Jesus and Mary. Specifically, during this Easter season of 2021, we prepare ourselves to receive the superabundance of grace of Pentecost through the coming of the Holy Spirit — our Advocate and Giver of Life. Through faith and grace, we can amaze ourselves with the mystery of creation. Our senses, daily struggle, and inclination to sin end up clouding our judgment, and therefore we miss what's life about. It happened to the apostles before the descent of the Spirit, and it’s happening to us today. Our Mother in Heaven knows about our limitation, and through Her Holy Rosary wants to unite us to His eternal Son, so we can flourish. Ave Maria!

April 16, 2021, Friday of the Second Week of Easter, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries) | Comment: Strengthen For Combat

• April 16, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET This Easter we enjoy, through the Resurrection, the victory of truth over sin and darkness. We will feel Jesus’ ocean of mercy over our lives — as long as we do our spiritual and sacramental homework. However, if the get distracted we might easily fall. The soul must be watchful. The mystic St Maria Faustina Kowalska very often heard from Jesus Himself these words: "Strengthen yourself for combat." The way to arm ourselves is by prayer. "Every single grace comes to the soul through prayer," wrote St. Faustina. We fall on sin and we rise. And "in whatever state the soul may be, it ought to pray." We recite the mysteries of the passion and death of Jesus today. Ave Maria!
