• February 7, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET In the last week, we read in The New Testament passages of Jesus curing individuals possessed by demons. He even sent out the Twelve to battle dark spirits. Friends, contrary to what many say—even within the Church—Satan and evil spirits are around us trying to devour our soul. The Scriptures revealed that one-third of the angels went into rebellion against God. Then, Saint Michael, the Archangel cast them out the Heaven and they fell into Earth. The Evildoer operates in the hide and masks himself to make people think that his demonic activity doesn’t exist. But he is much alive, and moreover, it seems that he is advancing fast today. The Master of lies fills his collaborators with destructive ideas with one sole purpose: to deny the divinity and eternal truth of the Holy One, Jesus Christ. We Christians don’t obsess with Satan, nor entertain, or engage in his deceits. We pray and invoke St Michael the Archangel, who defeated the Devil three times. Let’s firmly hold the Holy Rosary of the Virgin Mary, along with holy water and the crucifix—three main sacramental tools that the Heavens have provided us to combat evil. Ave Maria!

• Jan 31, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET C.S. Lewis, the British writer and lay theologian, explained that God entered history quietly, in a forgotten corner of the Roman Empire, sneaking behind enemy lines. Christianity established the same way: planting the seed, making the move, and taking the risk. The Holy Trinity works quietly, slowly, and gradually. It's like the parable of the mustard seed, revealed last Friday in the Gospel's reading (Mk 4:26-34). Jesus compared the Kingdom of God to a mustard seed that is insignificant until it springs and becomes the largest plant and puts forth large branches. We are called to have an inner spiritual life along with visible missionary life. This is how we help to build the Kingdom of God on Earth. Every single action—even the tiniest—is valuable in the eyes of the Father. Ave Maria! [Written by Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York] ___
• Jan 30, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET As we model our life on the imitation of Christ, we need to be ready to be insulted—even by people around us. Especially, if they see us reciting the Holy Rosary. Jesus Christ, Himself was attacked by relatives. "He is out of his mind," they said, as we read last week in The New Testament (Mk 3:20-21). Most of the times, this mockery is either a demonstration of jealousy, or just pure ignorance. In all circumstances, we won't get a gold medal. Success on Earth while being faithful is very complicated. The holiest saints suffered persecution, mainly from within the Church. Padre Pio, Faustina Kovalksva, Teresa of Avila, or Ignatius of Loyola are good examples. How do we face those who undermine and demoralize us? By forgiveness and intense prayer. Jesus and Mary will give us comfort, peace, and hope. Ave Maria! [Written by Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York] ___
• Jan 29, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast of Today's Rosary When you lose someone dear to you, you feel the infinite sadness and sorrow for seeing a loved-one departed, mostly, because you won't be able to talk or listen to him ever again on Earth. His soul will be now fully purified before resting in peace in eternity and enjoying the presence of the Holy Trinity, the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, the Communion of Saints, prophets, and patriarchs—the entire Heavenly Court! Yesterday, my father-in-law Julian died yesterday at the age of 88 due to COVID in Leon, Spain. He was a devoted, faithful father and husband. For us, he was a model of holiness, as well. My own father Alberto—who died ten years ago—was cut with the same Christian values. They both transmitted to us the wisdom of the faith, hope, and love of Jesus Christ. Julian had a prayerful life and was very devout to Our Lady of Fatima. He told us he had a very happy life; he received the grace of a happy death—both fruits of the Mysteries of the Ascension and the Coronation of Mary. Hours before he died, he delivered us a piece of invaluable advice: pray a lot. We will honor him by trying to keep a prayerful life. Ave Maria! Our Lady of Fatima, Pray for Us!

• Jan 28, 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. Thomas Aquinas, Doctor of the Church, and one of the brightest theologians, philosophers, and writers of all time. He wrote in the thirteen century Summa Theologiae, which was placed for reference during the Council of Trent. His profound humility even surpassed his intellectual capacity. Despite his reputation, he remained modest, with childlike innocence and goodness. When some sinned through weakness, he expressed sorrow as if it was his sin. He was always alleviating the needs of others. At the end of his life, and after having a vision of the glory of God, he claimed: "All that I have written seems to me like straw compared to what has now been revealed to me." Ave Maria! St. Thomas Aquinas Pray for Us! [Written by Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York] ___
