• May 6, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 7:00 pm ET Do we believe in the efficacy of the Holy Rosary of the Virgin Mary for our salvation? Let’s hear what St Louis Mary de Montfort wrote: "If you say nicely and devoutly the Rosary every day you will earn the right to go to Heaven to see Jesus and Mary." "If it is not their wish that you should see Jesus and Mary in this life; you will see them for all eternity." Our Mother in Heaven in Lourdes and Fatima asked us to pray the Rosary every single day. It was for a reason. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York
• April 29, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET Today is the Memorial Day of St. Catherine of Siena, virgin and doctor, mystic and writer, and one of the leading figures of the Church in the fourteenth century. At the early age of seven, she devoted herself to God. At 21, she experienced a "mystical marriage to Christ." She learned to surrender to Jesus as a goal to be reached through time. She was known for her miracles and ecstasies. She was given the stigmata, as well. Thousands came to see her, to be converted by her. She was a helper and a consoler in every need. Her influence reached ecclesiastical matters: she persuaded cardinals and princes to promise allegiance to the Rome pontiff. Even Pope Gregory XI returned from Avignon to Rome. She was the first woman, along with Teresa of Ávila, to be declared a "doctor of the Church." Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! St. Catherine of Siena, Pray for Us! + Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York — A revealing quote from this popular saint: “He will provide the way and the means, such as you could never have imagined. Leave it all to Him, let go of yourself, lose yourself on the Cross, and you will find yourself entirely.” —
• April 28, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET At the beginning of this fourth week of Easter, we reflected upon Jesus Christ as the Good Shepherd. In today’s reading (Jn 12:44-50), the Lord says: "I came into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness." There are different ways to express who is the Son of God: the first resurrected man, the Lamb of God, the suffering man, the friend of the sick and the poor, the merciful prophet, etc. Jesus is certainly the bread of life, the living water, the transfigured one, and the light of the world. Each believer identifies himself with one image of Jesus according to his sensibility. All forms are valid. What’s striking for our limited understanding is how Jesus — and His divine Mother — are able to take care of every single one. When we see a flock, we think that all sheep are almost the same. For Christ, the Good Shepherd, each soul is unique and He talks to us this way. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York
• April 27, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET Do we listen to the voice of Jesus Christ? Do we want to help Him to carry the Cross? Do we accept our suffering in atonement for our own sins and the sins of the world? As Jesus showed to the Jews in Jerusalem — as we read today (Jn 10:22-30) — many do not believe and are not among his sheep. This is a sad reality: many might go to hell because they decided to actively reject Jesus Christ. We must pray for these souls who behave out of ignorance. Being a follower of Jesus is a tough business. We share His cross because one day we will share his Crown. Our Lady of the Rosary dwells with us in our journey. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York
• 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. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York
