• December 14, 2025, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • The Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! Today, the Third Sunday of Advent, is known as Gaudete Sunday as the Church emphasizes the joy that should be in our hearts as Christmas draws near. The term Gaudete refers to the first word of the Entrance Antiphon, "Rejoice". The rose candle on the Advent wreath is light, and priests wear rose vestments. The joy of Christians is to see when the Lord will come again in His glory to lead them into His kingdom. The Veni ("Come") of Advent is an echo of the prophets and also of the conclusion of the Apocalypse of St. John: "Come, Lord Jesus," the last words of the New Testament. And on today's Mass, as the color violet or rose is used, we read about the answer of the Lord to John the Baptist, the herald of Christ. "Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them. And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me." Ave Maria Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

• December 7, 2025, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • The Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! Today, Second Sunday of Advent, as we continue our journey to celebrate the nativity of Christ, we see John the Baptist, the voice crying out in the desert, preaching and calling to conversion (Matthew 3:1-12): "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" "I am baptizing you with water, for repentance, but the one who is coming after me is mightier than I. I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." John's call is a pressing invitation to open our hearts and welcome the Son of God. He advises us to "prepare the way of the Lord," by genuine repentance of our past sins and a firm resolution to straighten "the ways of the Lord,” not deviating from the true Christian way of life in the future. As Benedict XVI wrote, "The 'voice' of the great prophet asks us to prepare the way for the coming Lord in the deserts of today, internal and external deserts, thirsting for the water of life which is Christ." Through our everyday behavior in this life, we will determine our eternal fate. Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

• December 6, 2025, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • The Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! Today, December 6, we celebrate the memorial of St. Nicholas of Myra (d. 346), a 4th-century bishop and one of the most popular saints in the Western world, honored as the patron saint of children. Born in Lycia in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), he practiced remarkable spiritual and corporal works of mercy and worked tirelessly to defend the faith. His legends of generosity made him into today's Santa Claus, a white-bearded gentleman who captivates children with promises of gifts on Christmas Eve. During the persecutions of Diocletian, he was imprisoned for preaching Christianity, but was released during the reign of Emperor Constantine. His relics are still preserved in the church of San Nicola in Bari. There is an oily substance, known as Manna di S. Nicola, highly valued for its medicinal powers, that is said to flow. Veneration for Nicholas spread throughout Europe and Asia, and countless miracles were attributed to the saint's intercession. The story of Saint Nicholas reached America in a distorted form. The Dutch Protestants carried a version of the saint's life to New Amsterdam, portraying Nicholas as a Nordic or North Pole magician and wonder-worker who brings happiness to small children. Our present-day conception of Santa Claus has grown from this version. Catholics should think of Nicholas as a saint, a confessor of the faith and the bishop of Myra, not merely as a jolly man from the North Pole. Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary!

• December 5, 2025, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • The Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! As we read today in the Gospel (Matthew 9:27-31), two blind men beg Jesus to heal them. They cry out: "Son of David, have pity on us!" When he entered the house, the blind men approached him and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I can do this?" "Yes, Lord," they said to him. Then he touched their eyes and said, "Let it be done for you according to your faith." Most people live in a state of spiritual blindness, focused on worldly pleasures, pleasure, power, honor, and wealth they can desire. They don’t see what's truly important: giving oneself to the grace of God and living a life of love. If you have not surrendered to the grace of God, you are blind. How wonderful it is, then, that these men in the Gospel can cry out to Jesus in their need. Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

• December 4, 2025, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • The Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! We, the faithful, must build our friendship with Christ on a solid rock. As we read today, (Matthew 7:21, 24–27): "Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock." In the parable about building on rock or on sand, we learn that if we are rooted in God at the level of our heart, then we will follow the intentions and commands of God, and we will withstand anything. This does not mean that the winds and floods will not come. But, if we follow God’s commands, the storms will not destroy us. Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
