Friends of the Rosary, In our society, good and evil are often confused or intermingled. What’s wrong is even presented as justice and collective rights. Inverting the values is a sin against the Holy Spirit. People might end up unknowingly worshipping the anti-Christ. We all need discernment to detect today’s lies. Prayer and good deeds can be a source of discernment. As we read today, Jesus reminded us (Mt 13, 47-53) “at the end of the age, the angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.” Christ’s judgment shows things as they are, good or evil. Every day, five times in the Fatima prayer we ask to be saved from the fires of hell. We also seek the protection of St Michael the Archangel. [Written by Mikel A | TheRosaryNetwork.org]
> Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube and Facebook Friends of the Rosary, Our radical ego, along with our particular interpretation of suffering, determines our views. We are absorbed by our convictions, anxieties, and material interests. Additionally, society’s rules today–mostly contrary to the true faith–lead us into this direction. We are so dependent on our emotions that we are unable to believe and experience the healing power of the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. Add to it our pride of not accepting anything that we cannot physically see, touch, and understand. In today’s reading, Jesus explains that He speaks in parables because we “look but do not see and hear but do not listen or understand.” With the help of our most gracious advocate, the Virgin Mary, we open the eyes of our heart to the Holy Spirit in order to understand the mysteries and the fruits of the Kingdom–wonderfully summarized in our daily Rosary, a true gift from Heaven.

> Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube and Facebook Friends of the Rosary, Today is the liturgical feast of St. Mary Magdalene, a follower of Jesus, on par with the Apostles. She was one of the three women present at Christ’s crucifixion. Jesus Himself had healed her of evil spirits and infirmities. Mary Magdalene was the first recorded witness of the Resurrection. She announced to the grieving Apostles the bodily rising of Christ from death. The first Glorious Mystery proclaims today that Jesus is truly alive, not in a metaphorical sense. Heaven and Earth, the two orders of our existence, are coming together. [Written by Mikel A | TheRosaryNetwork.org] — “The story of Mary of Magdala reminds us all of a fundamental truth,” Pope Benedict said. “A disciple of Christ is one who, in the experience of human weakness, has had the humility to ask for his help, has been healed by him and has set out following closely after him, becoming a witness of the power of his merciful love that is stronger than sin and death.” —
> Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube and Facebook Friends of the Rosary, In the Rosary meditation, we ask for our petitions and intentions to be fulfilled, rightfully so, within the Divine Will. We often convert our prayer in a list of petitions; however, we don’t really know what it is convenient for us. Saint Paul explained in this eighth letter to the Romans, that the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness and intercedes for us by praying for what we should. The Spirit aligns our request to God’s will. Saint Ignatius of Loyola said the love and grace of God were wealth enough. The Spirit, whom the Father sends in name of Jesus, comes upon us, giving us peace and helping to set our priorities. [Written by Mikel A | TheRosaryNetwork.org] —
> Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube and Facebook Friends of the Rosary, As it happened in the time of the early Church, today we also see many false creeds and prophets. How do we detect them? Saint John gave us a clue in his first letter. "Whoever rejects that Jesus is from God is a false prophet." Moreover, that is the spirit of the Antichrist, said John the Apostle. The first leaders of the early Church openly talked about the presence in the world of the Antichrist. The Antichrist denies the Father and the Son. “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil,” said St. Peter. We implore Our Lady of the Rosary to keep us alert to detect who wants to destroy us. [Written by Mikel A | TheRosaryNetwork.org] — (John 1-4) We belong to God, and anyone who knows God listens to us, while anyone who does not belong to God refuses to hear us. This is how we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of deceit. — At the beginning of each mystery, we will mention the names of those in need of prayers.
