• Jan 15, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET The stranded souls in purgatory are in much need of our prayers. We can—and must—pray for the family members we lost, for our friends, neighbors, and even for our enemies. With our prayers, we speed up their ascent into Heaven. This is a mystery we believe in. Souls cannot go to hell from purgatory. Souls are trapped in purgatory until they make amends for their sins. The Father wants us to arrive into Him immaculate and pure, as the Virgin Mary went. Do we want to meet our deceased relatives and friends in purgatory enjoying the presence of Jesus and Mary? We need to pray for them. The Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary is an excellent and persistent prayer for all the holy souls in purgatory. Ave Maria! [Written by Mikel A | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York]
• January 8, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET With the political, economic, and health crisis unfolding in the U.S. and all over the world, we wonder what’s the future of the faithful and the Catholic Church—the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ. Five years ago, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI predicted that we would see priests behaving as social workers and the faith depicted as a political view. And when everything would seem lost, a smaller, almost clandestine Church would emerge. It will no longer inhabit many of the edifices built in prosperity. It will be poor, without social privileges. It won’t be a Church managed to please the world. It will be more spiritualized and simplified, formed by the faithful committed to Jesus Christ and His eternal law. Benedict XVI advised: “We must pray for and cultivate unselfishness, self-denial, faithfulness, Sacramental devotion, and a life centered on Christ.” Ave Maria! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year in Mary and Joseph! [Written by Mikel A | The Rosary Network, New York] ____ We pray today for America and for sanctity in our daily lives. For the end of political violence and for loving our neighbors, being united in one family in Jesus and Mary. For the soul of the U.S. Capitol’s officer died during the riot. For the defense of the unborn and life until natural death. In the end, Christ will be victorious. ____ Resource: • When Father Joseph Ratzinger Predicted the Future of the Church
• January 7, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET In light of the latest events in the U.S., we firmly pray for the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Evildoers who try to deceive people and sin against the Holy Spirit need to repent and ask forgiveness to Our Lord. We are a human family and we are all sinners—and there is no sin that any of us cannot commit. Those in the job of serving people through politics and the media—and social media—have a public responsibility. In the Fatima prayer, at the end of each mystery, we ask Jesus Christ to lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of His mercy. We also pray for the souls of the four people dead in the U.S. Capitol yesterday. Ave Maria! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year in Mary and Joseph!

• January 6, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET Traditionally, the Epiphany of Our Lord is observed today in the majority of the Catholic world. However, in the US and other countries, the feast was held last Sunday. The word “epiphany” comes from the Greek epiphanies, a verb that means “to shine upon," "to manifest," or “to make known.” There are three events that manifest the mission and divinity of Christ: the visit of the Magi following the start light (Matthew 2:1-12), the baptism of Jesus (Mark 1:9-11)—this Sunday—and the miracle at Cana (John 2:1-11). The Three Kings—the wise men—recognized the light of Christ shining in the world over the darkness. Ave Maria! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year in Mary and Joseph!

• January 5, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET What are your new year's resolutions? Pope Francis suggested a good one last Sunday during the Angelus: "We can commit ourselves a little more to take care of each other." "Let’s work together for the common good, putting the weakest and most disadvantaged at the center," he said. Pope Francis also warned against the temptation to ignore the suffering of others during the pandemic. There is a temptation to take care only of one’s own interests, seeking only to satisfy our own pleasures. This the opposite of imitating Jesus Christ. A great resolution can be to open our hearts to Jesus, welcoming and inviting Him to dwell with us. Ave Maria! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year in Mary and Joseph!
