Christ Jesus tells us today (Luke 12:8-12): “When they take you before synagogues and before rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what your defense will be or about what you are to say. For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say.” The enemies of the Universal Church are the world, the flesh, and the Evil One. Persecution will end when the Lord returns, at the end of time, but not before. Then, when the old and sinful world passes away, a new life of love and peace will emerge. The enemy of the faith knows this, and that’s why he is infuriated. He doesn’t have much time. In the meantime, as Bishop Barron writes, “We maintain a detachment from the world that is passing away, our eyes fixed on the world that will never end. And we speak—confidently, boldly,” Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! St. Luke, Pray for Us! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York
• October 18, 2024, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • The Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! Today, October 18, is the Feast of St. Luke Evangelist. He is the author of the third Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, which record the life of the early Christian communities. His name means "bringer of light" (= Luke). He was a native of Antioch in Syria and a practicing physician when St. Paul converted him. He accompanied him on most of his missionary journeys. He was still with St. Paul in Rome when he was in prison awaiting death. He was one of the early converts from paganism. Luke's Gospel is the Gospel of the Merciful Heart of Jesus. St. Jerome called it also "Paul's Gospel." It emphasizes that Christ is the salvation of all men, especially of the repentant sinner and the lowly. This Gospel includes precious details about our Lady and Christ's childhood. It also preserved some of the most moving of our Lord's parables, such as the lost sheep and the prodigal son. Legend says that Luke painted the Blessed Virgin's portrait. St. Luke did not personally know our Lord, and like St. Mark, the author of the second Gospel, he is not included among the apostles. For this reason, the Gospel chosen for their feast is the account of the sending forth of the seventy-two disciples. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! St. Luke, Pray for Us! Come, Holy Spirit, come!

The divine light and his faithful bearers expose the sin around us — and the unfaithful become aggressive. Because in the light of Christ Jesus, there is nowhere to hide. As Bishop Barron writes, explaining today’s main reading in the Gospel (Luke 11:47-54), “When the light of God’s forgiving love appears, the shadows of sin become all the deeper and more obvious.” Jesus, the Word and the icon of the Invisible God, of the Father, says: "I tell you, this generation will be charged with their blood! Woe to you, scholars of the law! You have taken away the key of knowledge." At that time, and like it’s happening today, there are many powers opposed to the creative and loving intentions of the Father. The world grows cozy with sin, and the structures of darkness dominate our society. The response of the divinity as the judge of our sinful world is always his forgiving love — his sacred heart! And Jesus is the hand that the Father stretches to those who are lost. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York
• October 16, 2024, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • The Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! Today is the Memorial Day of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690). Our Lord chose this French Visitation nun and mystic to spread devotion to his Sacred Heart. This privilege took place at a time when Protestantism and the heresy of Jansenism were trying to separate Catholics from their faith and their God. Margaret had always intensely loved the Blessed Sacrament and preferred silence. In one of her visions, she was instructed to spend an hour every Thursday night meditating on Jesus' Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, a practice known as "The Holy Hour" that later became widespread. In December 1673, Jesus appeared to Margaret Mary again and allowed her to rest her head on His heart. His human heart was to symbolize His divine-human love. He revealed to her the wonders of His love and explained to her that he wished to make these wonders known to all the world. A group of theologians declared her visions delusions and suggested she eat better. Even parents of children she instructed began calling her an imposter. Margaret eventually gained the support from the community's confessor, St. Claude de la Colombiere, who declared her visions were genuine. St. Margaret Mary later led the monastery in observing the Feast of the Sacred Heart and inspired the construction of a chapel to honor it. Margaret Mary died a couple of years later, at 43, on October 17, 1690, while being anointed. She said, "I need nothing but God and to lose myself in the heart of Jesus." After her death, the Jesuits adopted devotion to the Sacred Heart, but it remained controversial within the Church. The practice did not become officially recognized until 75 years later. St. Margaret Mary Alacoque was officially canonized in 1920 by Pope Benedict XV. In 1928, Pope Pius XI upheld the Church's position. He stated that Jesus "manifested Himself" to Margaret and confirmed the chief features of devotion to the Sacred Heart were the "reception of Holy Communion on the first Friday of each month, Eucharistic adoration during a 'Holy hour' on Thursdays, and the celebration of the Feast of the Sacred Heart."
