• January 11, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET The Divinity lets the universe run according to its natural rhythm while allowing mankind’s free will to shape reality. However, occasionally the Heavens intervene, for our own good. For example, in the last five centuries, we’ve been blessed with the apparitions of the Virgin Mary. Our Lady of the Rosary has come to our rescue when we have distanced too much from Her Divine Son. In the Gospel last week, we read passages about Jesus Christ’s control over nature. The Son of God multiplied the loaves and the fishes, walked on the sea, controlled the wind, and cured a leper. Jesus signaled his presence and purpose, and despite so, the heart of the disciples—who witnessed all of these supernatural events—was hardened, as Mark the Evangelist recounts (Mk 6:45-52). As it was twenty centuries ago, today our hearts are hardened as well. We wrongly think that we will lose personal freedom if we invite Jesus Christ to dwell with us. It’s just the opposite. Thousands of saints and holy people across history can testify that. At the beginning of the year, can we make a daily resolution of being truly open to the Holy Spirit? As Jesus told the disciples, "Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!" Ave Maria! Happy New Year in Mary and Joseph! [Written by Mikel A | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York]
• January 4, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET Today, day eleventh of Christmas, is the Memorial Day of the first American saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton. Born in New York in 1774 to a wealthy Episcopalian family, she converted to Catholicism. Wife and mother of five children, she founded the American Sisters of Charity. She also opened orphanages in Philadelphia and New York City, as well as schools in Baltimore and other locations, always preoccupied with the education of the underprivileged. She developed a deep devotion to the Eucharist, Sacred Scripture, and the Virgin Mary. An ardent follower of the Divine Will, she wrote: "O Father, the first rule of our dear Saviour’s life was to do Your Will. Let His Will of the present moment be the first rule of our daily life and work, with no other desire but for its most full and complete accomplishment." Ave Maria! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year in Mary and Joseph! St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Pray for Us! [Written by Mikel A | The Rosary Network, New York] ——
• January 3, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET We celebrate today the solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord—the manifestation or revelation of Jesus Christ as the light of the nations. The traditional date for the feast is January 6, but in some countries like in the U.S., the celebration is held on the Sunday after January 1. In Spanish speaking countries, this feast —also called Three Kings' Day, el día de Los Tres Reyes, or Los Reyes Magos—is a large celebration. The solemnity commemorates the visit of the Magi to the Christ Child. After the Lord Jesus was made known to the shepherds of Bethlehem, He was revealed to the Magi who came from the East to adore the infant Jesus. These wise men represented all the peoples of the Earth. Ave Maria! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year in Mary and Joseph!

• January 2, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 7:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET "The liar is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ." "Whoever denies the Father and the Son, this is the Antichrist." These are words we read today in the first letter of St. John in the New Testament. (1 John 2:22-28). At the beginning of the year, it is essential to keep in mind this fundamental truth. "Anyone who denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well." Friends, new age ideologies—widely promoted—try to deceive us. They mostly present Jesus Christ as a miracle worker or as a cool prophet but deny his Divinity. Additionally, some worldwide religions openly reject that Jesus is the Son of God. Unfortunately, the spread of humanly destructive ideas might increase this new year. We must be on high alert for not being deceived and cheated by false doctrines. We invoke the Holy Spirit and His Spouse the Most Holy Virgin Mary to help us to stay faithful to Jesus Christ and to model our lives on imitation to Our Savior. Ave Maria! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year in Mary! [Written by Mikel A | The Rosary Network, New York]
• January 1, 2021, Holy Rosary Today 3:30 pm ET, YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET Today, January 1st, at the beginning of the calendar year, we celebrate the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God. New Year Day is a secular day of good cheer, and that's fine. For us, it is a holy day of obligation and a day that can be sanctified in Christ and Mary. It is also a day of prayer for World Peace: Mary is the mother of the Prince of Peace, Jesus. Now, the reality of "Mary, Mother of God"—in Greek Theotokos and in Latin Mater Dei—was officially consecrated as Catholic doctrine at the First Council of Ephesus in 431, becoming the first Marian dogma. In God's mind, Jesus was first, and Mary was second, as she was chosen to be his mother from all eternity. Mary is the Mother of Jesus and the spiritual Mother of mankind. We rejoice in our devotion to Our Most Gracious Advocate by praying today the Joyful Mysteries. Ave Maria! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year in Mary!
