> Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube and Facebook Friends of the Rosary, The mysteries we pray today are rightly called joyful because of the joy they gave to the whole universe. St Louis Mary de Montfort explained that Our Lady and the angels were overwhelmed with joy when the Son of God was incarnate. St Elizabeth and St John the Baptist were filled with joy by the visit of Mary and Jesus. Heaven and Earth rejoiced at the birth of Our Savior. Holy Simeon was filled with joy when he took the Holy Child in his arms. The doctors were lost in admiration at the answers of Jesus at the temple of Jerusalem. And Mary and Joseph were exultant when they found the Child Jesus after three days of search.

> Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube and Facebook Friends of the Rosary, This month, we read Jesus’ parables of the Kingdom of God in the New Testament. Our Savior is not talking about a distant eternity. He teaches us that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Jesus meant that we need to start building the truth now and here, without further delay. We must transform the Earth into the Kingdom of Heaven. The Lord trusts in our hands and our voice to build a new reality. He sends us the Spirit, the God’s power, in our help. For sure, we will find injustice, lies, and evil. It’s not our function to uproot the weeds of the harvest. Evil exists. But our mission, as servants, is to harvest good seed. The Householder, the Lord, will burn the weeds. We are just builders. [Written by Mikel A | TheRosaryNetwork.org]
> Today's Holy Rosary in YouTube and Facebook > Today’s Holy Rosary Audio Podcast Friends of the Rosary, Today, we commemorate Saints Anne and Joachim, parents of the Virgin Mary and grandparents of Jesus Christ. Through the visions of the German, mystic nun Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, we learned about the virtuous and holy lives of Anne and her husband Joachim, who was of the line of David. Saint Anne gave birth to Mary, free from original sin. Joachim and Anne embraced in ecstasy, the light shone around them, and the Immaculate Conception of Mary took place. The heavens above opened and the Holy Trinity and angels rejoiced over the Immaculate Conception of Mary. The Virgin Mary was formed in the blood of Saint Anne, just as the God-man Jesus was formed in the blood of Mary. Anne taught Mary to love, pray, and serve the Lord. Mary would live in all perfection, humility, and virtue. [Written by Mikel A | TheRosaryNetwork.org] — Prayer today: For the intercession in our lives of St Anne and St Joachim, the patron saints of grandmothers and grandfathers. Happy grandparents day!
> Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube and Facebook Friends of the Rosary, Today is the festivity of Saint James, the brother of John the Evangelist, and the first Apostle to be martyred. James was one of the three Apostles who were particularly close to Jesus. He was with his brother and Peter at the Transfiguration and in the Garden of Gethsemane. After the Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus, he traveled to preach to Spain, Roman Hispania at that time. While he was praying upon the banks of the Ebro River in Caesaraugusta, Saragossa, he experienced the first apparition of the Virgin Mary, in a mystical phenomenon known as bilocation. It was the first Marian supernatural apparition; it occurred in the year 40th while Mary was still alive on earth (she was living in Jerusalem). The Blessed Mother would become Our Lady of the Pillar, Nuestra Señora del Pilar, in Spanish. James would be the patron saint of Spain and the pilgrims. After James was beheaded in Jerusalem by the order of Herod Agrippa, his remains were transported to the end of the earth, the Finisterre, in northwestern Spain, in Galicia. There, he is venerated at Santiago de Compostela, a medieval pilgrimage site, the James' Way, el Camino de Santiago, still very popular today. [Written by Mikel A | TheRosaryNetwork.org]
> Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube and Facebook Friends of the Rosary, In the Gethsemane garden (Luke 22:39-46), Jesus, praying earnestly, sweating drops of blood, found His disciples asleep, exhausted from sorrow. Jesus asked them: “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.” Temptation is a reality of human life that nobody, not even Jesus in His humanity, could escape. How do we resist, so temptation doesn’t get the best of us? Through prayer. Prayer transforms us. We don’t understand why and how this happens, but it happens. When we surrender, the Father, in His infinite love, answers and creates a new future for us. As Our Lady of the Rosary requested, we pray for us and for all who have no one to pray for them.
