> Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube and Facebook Friends of the Rosary, The fruit of the first Glorious mystery is faith. With the first Hail Mary, we ask for the increase of faith. To follow the truth and enjoy eternal happiness by serving Jesus, we need abundant faith. Wait, we all have faith, right? Well, only until we get seriously challenged. Meaning, until we face a big storm, a moment of darkness, or see our life at peril. Take St Peter, one the chosen disciples and holder now of the keys of Heaven. After confidently walking on the water toward Jesus, he felt he was about to drown and abandoned his faith. Our egos and fears constraint us to our narrow space. Only when we self-deny handing our will and freedom to Jesus and Mary, we realize that we participate in something and Someone infinitely greater than ourselves. Then, we understand and see.

> 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, Neither distress, ideologies, people, persecution nor even death can separate us from the love of God revealed in Jesus Christ. We are bound to the Creator as his children, as St. Paul reminds us in his letter to the Romans today (ROM 8;35, 37-39). It is a big lie to say that Jesus and Mary have abandoned you and do not love you. Quite the contrary. Jesus and Mary are dying for you and me. To perceive this merciful love in a more intense way we must serve God and take care of our neighbors. Jesus is interested not only in instructing us but in feeding us as well, as we read today through the miracle of the multiplication of fishes and loaves. Let’s express our love to our Heavenly family by saying the Holy Rosary.

> Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube and Facebook Friends of the Rosary, The name Mary means “lady of light”. The Virgin Mary was chosen as the Lord’s instrument to incarnate the Eternal Word. Through the Annunciation–the greatest event on history–the world was redeemed and peace was restored between God and man. In the Rosary we rejoice by invoking Our Lady, the most perfect of God’s creatures. When we honor Our Lady of the Rosary, Jesus is glorified. The mother of Jesus and our spiritual mother lighted up Heaven and Earth.

Friends of the Rosary, Today is the Memorial Day of St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus–the Jesuits–and one of the greatest Spanish saints, along with St. Dominic, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Francis Xavier, and others. The Jesuits started in the sixteenth century as the Church's spiritual troops in the battle against the spread of Protestantism in Europe. St. Ignatius sent Francis Xavier to the Indies, and other disciples were dispersed around the world, declaring war against paganism, superstition, and heresy. The Jesuits would become the largest Catholic organization in the service of evangelization and culture–with hundreds of universities and colleges worldwide today. Willing to die for the faith and devoted to gain souls for the greatest glory of God, St. Ignatius of Loyola underwent the hardest trials, even imprisonment and beating almost to death. Favored by God with wonderful spiritual lights and power over demons, St. Ignatius wrote the book of the Spiritual Exercises, often used today for retreats and individual discernment.

He addressed the fathers and brothers of the Society present at the Vatican Basilica, calling to mind the dedication and fidelity of their founder. “St. Ignatius of Loyola was first and foremost a man of God who in his life put God, his greatest glory and his greatest service, first,” the Pope said. “He was a profoundly prayerful man for whom the daily celebration of the Eucharist was the heart and crowning point of his day.” Highlighting the need for “an intense spiritual and cultural training,” Pope Benedict called upon the Society of Jesus to follow in the footsteps of St. Ignatius and continue his work of service to the Church and obedience to the Pope.
