• October 27, 2020, Holy Rosary at 7:30 pm ET, at YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET We tend to see reality from our own perspective and interest. We don’t wake up in the morning thinking about what we can do today for the good of one another. Moreover, in today’s individualistic culture, many Christians reduce their spiritual lives to a cultivation of a personal friendship with God. We forget that Christians exist not for themselves but for the world. Jesus Christ proclaimed the Kingdom of Heaven and immediately after, started sending his disciples on a mission to proclaim the truth of human existence. As members of the Catholic Church, which is the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, we share the mission of evangelization. Individualism damages our soul.

• October 20, 2020, Holy Rosary at 7:30 pm ET, at YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET As Pope Francis recently said, "Catholics must affirm God's primacy to the world." The enemy is always trying to ruin mankind by suppressing the truth and light of Jesus Christ. In this battle between light and darkness, we must speak of God and bear witness to men and women of our time, as Pope said. Too many lives are ruin and souls are lost due to the traps of the Evil and his collaborators. It is our mission to help the Holy Trinity and Virgin Mary to build the Kingdom of Heaven. Each person carries within him, imprinted in his soul and heart, the image of God. The original sin didn't erase that image, which confirms that we owe our existence and life to God. Let's be a living presence of Jesus Christ. [Written by Mikel A | The Rosary Network, New York] ––– In reparation for the arson attacks that destroyed two Chilean churches on Sunday. For the purification of evil spirits at the place in San Francisco where the statue of St Junipero Serra was destroyed. We pray that God might purify the hearts of those who perpetrated this blasphemy. For reflecting on the extreme suffering of Jesus Christ and his Divine Mother by cultivating the virtues contained in the Sorrowful Mysteries —- This Sunday was World Mission Day. Pope Francis asked everyone to support the Church’s priest, religious, and lay missionaries, "who sow the Gospel in the great field of the world."
• October 19, 2020, Holy Rosary at 7:30 pm ET, at YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET Last Saturday we read how Jesus Christ promised divine aid to the apostles (LK 12:8-12). Jesus Christ’s followers cannot succeed in spreading the truth and saving souls only with earthly tools. In our mission, we need the Helper, the Holy Spirit, and His espouse, the Virgin Mary. Through prayer, the Holy Ghost comes and assists us. Supernatural help has kept the Catholic Church alive in the last twenty centuries, despite incessant persecution. Evil forces’ goal has always been to eliminate the belief in the Son of the Living God. The darkness has tried everything and will continue doing so. However, in the end, the Church will prevail, as Jesus revealed it to us. Don’t forget that the Immaculate Mary did crush the head of the serpent-dragon. As Padre Pio said, the Rosary is our weapon against the evils of the world today. "The Rosary is the prayer of those who triumph over everything and everyone."

• October 19, 2020, Holy Rosary at 7:30 pm ET, at YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET We visited today the shrine and monument dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Cerro de Los Ángeles, Hill of the Angels, about 6 miles south of Madrid, Spain. In this place, Saint Madre de las Maravillas de Jesus – or Madre Maravillas – founded a Discalced Carmelites convent a century ago. Born in Madrid, she built here a nuns' house, following the St. Terese of Avila's rule upon a fourteenth-century monastery dedicated to Our Lady of the Angels. She also established several houses for her order across Spain and even set up one in India. In addition, she founded the "Association of Saint Teresa". Madre Maravillas – canonized by John Paul II in 2003 – was unique in defending and cultivating the devotion to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus is our source of love, mercy, grace, sanctification, and salvation. Enjoy the video tour. St. Madre Maravillas pray for us!

• October 17, 2020, Holy Rosary at 7:30 pm ET, at YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork • Audio Podcast available by 6:00 pm ET We read today that Jesus said to his disciples (LK 12:8-12): “Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.” In other words, all sins are forgiven except one: a sin against the Holy Spirit. Jesus’ frightening exhortation refers to the sin of rejecting God’s grace, mercy, and salvation. Friends, the Lord respects the freedom with which He created us. He also respects a sinner’s decision to refuse to be forgiven. Consequently, this sinner keeps God from forgiving him. That’s why sinning against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable. [Written by Mikel A | The Rosary Network, New York] — For fostering within our hearts a greater sorrow for sin as well as a deeper trust in the Divine Mercy. For cultivating a humble and contrite soul. For identifying in our society what is right and what wrong, and avoid the traps of darkness that present as a right what is evil. We see this with the crime of the unborn, which is presented as women's reproductive rights. For receiving the power of the Holy Spirit in this meditation of the Rosary today. — Below are six cases of this sin that were taught by Pope Saint Pius X taught in his Catechism. 1. Despairing of salvation. This is when a person loses hope of salvation, judging that his eternal life is already lost and that he is condemned, even before Judgment. It means judging divine mercy as being small. It means not believing in God’s justice and power. 2. Presumption of salvation is when a person cultivates in his soul an idea of his own perfection, which implies a feeling of pride. He believes his salvation has been guaranteed by what he has done. 3. Denying a truth recognized as such by the Magisterium of the Church. When a person doesn’t accept the truths (dogmas) of the faith, even after an exhaustive doctrinal explanation, it is the sin of heresy. He considers his personal understanding to be greater than that of the Church and the teaching of the Holy Spirit that assists the holy Magisterium. 4. Envying the grace that God gives to other people. Envy is a sentiment of discontent because someone else obtained something good, even if you yourself already possess it or could obtain it someday. It’s the act of not wanting what is good for your neighbor. With this sin, I make myself the judge of the world. I’m revolting against the Divine Will. I’m rebelling against the law of love for one’s neighbor. 5. Obstinacy in sin is the firm will to continue in error even after receiving the light and help of the Holy Spirit. This is when a person creates his own criteria for ethical judgment, or simply doesn’t adopt any ethics at all, and in this way separates himself from God’s will and rejects salvation. 6. Final impenitence is the result of an entire life of rejecting God. This is when a person persists in error until the very end. It’s the equivalent of consecrating oneself to Christ’s adversary. Even at the hour of death, such a person refuses to approach the Father with humility. He doesn’t open himself to the Holy Spirit’s invitation. __
