Today is the Memorial of St. Pius of Pietrelcina (1887-1968), or Padre Pio, a contemporary saint with the gift of the stigmata who bore the wounds of our Lord. Padre Pio, known for his suffering, humility, and miracles, received the stigmata while praying before a cross on September 20, 1918. He is the first priest to be so blessed. For fifty years at the monastery of San Giovanni Rotundo, the Italian Capuchin friar was a much sought-after spiritual advisor, confessor, and intercessor whose life was devoted to the Eucharist and prayer. Yet despite such notoriety, he often said, "I only want to be a poor friar who prays." Padre Pio could read the souls and consciences of those who confessed with him. He could also bi-locate, levitate, and heal by touch. In 1956, he founded the House for the Relief of Suffering, a hospital that serves 60,000 a year. Today, there are over 400,000 members worldwide in prayer groups that Padre Pio began in the 1920s. He was a man of prayer and suffering. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Come, Holy Spirit, come! St. Padre Pio, Pray for Us! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York

Today, in the Gospel (Lk 7:1-10), Luke tells us about the faith of the Roman centurion, whose slave was cured of his illness. Jesus was amazed at him and said to the crowd following him: "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith." The centurion said the words we recite in Mass before communion: "I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof." ("Therefore, I did not consider myself worthy to come to you; but say the word and let my servant be healed.") As Bishop Barron explains the meaning of faith: "Your life is not about you. You’re not in control. This is not your project. Rather, you are part of God’s great design." "When we operate out of this transformed vision, amazing things can happen, for we have surrendered to “him who can accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine." "Faith is an attitude of trust in the presence of God. Faith is openness to what God will reveal, do, and invite. It should be obvious that, in dealing with the infinite, all-powerful person who is God, we are never in control." Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Come, Holy Spirit, come!

• September 15, 2024, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • The Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! Today, September 15, is the Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows. This feast, which dates back to the 12th century, focuses on Mary's intense suffering during the passion and death of Christ. The Memorial Day is dedicated to the spiritual martyrdom of Mary, Mother of God, and her compassion with the sufferings of her Divine Son. In her suffering as co-redeemer, Mary reminds us of the evil of sin and shows us the way of true repentance. The feast was introduced by the Servites to intensify devotion to Our Lady's Sorrows. It has its roots in Sacred Scripture and Christian piety, which always associates the Blessed Mother with her suffering Son. In the 17th century, the feast was celebrated as the “Seven Sorrows of Mary,” which referred to the seven swords that pierced Mary's heart. These are the seven sorrows of Mary: The prophecy of Simeon, (Luke 2:25-35) The flight into Egypt, (Matthew 2:13-15) Loss of the Child Jesus for three days, (Luke 2:41-50) Mary meets Jesus on his way to Calvary, (Luke 23:27-31; John 19:17) Crucifixion and Death of Jesus, (John 19:25-30) The body of Jesus being taken from the Cross (deposition from the Cross), (Psalm 130; Luke 23:50-54; John 19:31-37) The burial of Jesus, (Isaiah 53:8; Luke 23:50-56; John 19:38-42; Mark 15:40-47) Ave Maria!

Today, September 14, is the Exaltation of the Holy Cross feast day, also called the Triumph of the Cross or Holy Cross Day. The Catholic Church celebrates the discovery of the True Cross on Mount Calvary by St. Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine, in 320. The Cross is the instrument of our redemption and the glorious sign of victory. We take up the Cross and follow Christ, identifying with Him and becoming co-redeemers. Before and after prayer, we make the Sign of the Cross to give ourselves—mind, soul, heart, body, will, and thoughts—to God and signify that we belong to Christ. Our strength and protection are the Sign of the Cross during trials and temptations. On this day, we reflect upon the salvific death on the Cross and the Resurrection of Christ Jesus when death was defeated and the doors to Heaven opened. The entrance antiphon for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross is: "We should glory in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, for he is our salvation, our life, and our resurrection: through him, we are saved and made free." Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York

On September 13, 1917, the Virgin Mary appeared in Fatima for the fifth time. Over 30,000 people gathered in Cova da Iria, Portugal. "The crowd prays all the time… Suddenly, cries of surprise and joy are heard. Thousands of arms are raised towards a point in the sky… I raise my eyes, and to my surprise, I see clearly and distinctly a globe of light advancing from east to west, gliding slowly and majestically through the air. I was convinced it was the Blessed Virgin," wrote Sor Lucia, one of the three shepherds. She asked to the Blessed Mother: – "What do you want of me?" You must pray! Continue the Rosary, my children. Say it every day that the war may end. In October, Our Lord will come, as will Our Lady of Sorrows and Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Saint Joseph will appear with the Child Jesus to bless the world. God is pleased with your sacrifices, but He does not want you to wear the cords to bed. Keep them on during the day. – "I have the petitions of many for your help. Will you assist a little girl who is deaf and dumb?" She will improve within the year. – "And what conversions have some asked to bring about? The cures of the sick ones?" Some I will cure, and some I will not. In October I will perform a miracle so that all may believe. With these last words to the three visionaries, Our Lady rose and disappeared into the heavens. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York
