Today, December 6, the Church celebrates the memorial of St. Nicholas of Myra (d. 346), also known as Santa Claus, one of the most popular saints in the Western world and considered the patron saint of children. St. Nicholas was a 4th-century bishop born in Lycia in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). He was known for his mercy and charity toward the poor and disadvantaged and for tirelessly defending the faith. In the U.S., the story of St. Nicholas was brought as Santa Claus by Dutch Protestants in a distorted fashion, as a magician and wonder-worker. Our present-day conception of the saint has grown from this version. He is portrayed as a jolly, rotund, white-bearded man from the North Pole who brings happiness to small children by promising gifts on Christmas Eve. We Catholics should consider Nicholas a saint, a confessor of the faith, and the bishop of Myra. (Today’s Rosary is prayed from Manhattan.) Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! St. Nicholas, Pray for Us! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York

Today, November 30, the last day of Ordinary Time in the current Liturgical Year, the Church of Christ celebrates the Feast of St. Andrew, a fisherman from Bethsaida in Galilee, a former disciple of John the Baptist, and one of Jesus' closest apostles. St. Andrew's feast signals the beginning of Advent. St. Andrew the Apostle introduced his brother Peter to Jesus, saying, "We have found the Messiah." After Pentecost, he preached in Greece, where he was martyred on a cross as an "X." This type of cross has long been known as "St. Andrew's cross." Medieval artists suggested that Andrew was unworthy to die on a cross identical to our Lord's. St. Andrew is also the patron saint of Scotland, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, and Patras. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! St. Andrew, Pray for Us! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York

"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away." Christ Jesus told this to his disciples, as we are reading today (LK 21:29-33). Our hearts continue crying out for God while we look for Christ's mercy. We are hungry for him, and as St. Paul wrote in his letter to the Romans (Rom 14:8), and is reflected in Psalm 16, "If we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord, so then whether we live or die, we are the Lord's." We must be strong and take courage! Happy Thanksgiving weekend! Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York
• November 28, 2024, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • The Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! Happy Thanksgiving Day! As Christians, with the gift of faith we receive, we acknowledge a life of gratitude and appreciation for the grace and love given to us by Our Lord. The feast of Thanksgiving in the U.S. is an annual reminder of this call to be grateful and spread the wisdom and love of the Holy Spirit living in Mary. We celebrate Thanksgiving as a sign of American unity and thanksgiving to God. In today’s Mass, we ask that each person's gratitude to God bears fruit in loving service to neighbor. In loving service, we share your gifts, Lord! Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York
• November 27, 2024, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • The Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! Today, November 27, we commemorate Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, recalling when the Blessed Mother appeared to St. Catherine Labouré, a Daughter of Charity in Paris, in 1830 and revealed the images of the medal. Standing upon a globe, the Virgin Mary held a golden ball, symbolizing the world and each person; on her fingers were rings with gems that emitted light rays. She told St.Catherine, "These rays symbolize the graces I shed upon those who ask for them. The gems from which rays do not fall are the graces for which souls forget to ask." She held her hands outstretched like a loving mother while rays of light cascaded upon the globe at her feet as she stood atop the serpent's head. The words, "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee," framed the image in an oval. St. Catherine then saw an image of an M upon which was a cross. Underneath the M was Our Lord's heart crowned with thorns and Our Lady's heart pierced by a sword. Twelve stars surrounded this image. The Blessed Virgin instructed St. Catherine to have a medal made of these images, and she promised many graces to all who wore it. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Come, Holy Spirit, come!
