Friends of the Rosary,

This month we walk with the Blessed Virgin Mary and we renew our love and devotion to the Mother of Jesus.

Everything Mary said led us to Christ. And she loves each and every human with the same affection and tenderness as Christ Jesus.

Mary was conceived immaculately, without any stain of the original sin, and also by divine election was crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth. Mary, the most humble of all women and the first disciple of Jesus, is a model for everyone, Christian and non-Christian today.

“There is only one model for you, Mary: the woman of fidelity, the one who did not understand what was happening to her but obeyed. The one who, as soon as she knew what her cousin needed took off (to help her), the Virgin of Promptness. The one who escaped as a refugee in a foreign country to save the life of her son,” Pope Francis said in 2014.

The Virgin, through Jesus, has brought heaven closer to us.

“She shows us that heaven is within reach, if we too do not give in to sin, we praise God with humility and serve others with generosity,” Pope Francis added in 2022.

Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!

To Jesus through Mary!

Friends of the Rosary,

The Lord, who is all love, has revealed to the nations His saving power, as we say in the Psalms today.

"Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love," wrote Saint John in his first letter (4:7-10)

We can be faithful, charitable, and even follow all the commandments, but if we lack love we fall really short.

"Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God," St. John explained.

Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!

To Jesus through Mary!

Friends of the Rosary,

As disciples of Christ we have been chosen out of the world by Christ Jesus.

When we act out that belonging, we can change the world.

It won't be an easy. The battle has been won, but the war continues. The struggle is ongoing.

As Jesus said to his disciples (Jn 15:18-21),

"If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first.If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own;but because you do not belong to the world,and I have chosen you out of the world,the world hates you."

"If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you."

Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!

To Jesus through Mary!

Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will!

Friends of the Rosary,

Today is the Feast of the Apostles Philip and James.

Like Sts. Peter and Andrew, St. Philip was from Bethsaida, in Galilee. He was crucified at Hierapolis in Phyrgia, where he had preached the Gospel. He introduced St. Bartholomew (Nathaniel) to Christ, telling him that Jesus was the one whom Moses and the other prophets had foretold. Christ declared to St. Philip, “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father…I am the Father and the Father is in me” (Jn 14:8, 11).

James the Lesser is called “Lesser” because he was younger than the other Apostle by the same name, James the Great. James the less was related in some way to Jesus, and after Jesus’ Ascension into heaven, he became the bishop of the Church in Jerusalem. He was martyred in the year 62, by being thrown from the terrace of the Temple and then stoned to death.

• The Apostles suffered and were persecuted, but they placed their confidence in God and now they rejoice in heaven.

• Following their example, we too must have confidence in God and not be troubled in our adversities.

• In our Father’s house there are many rooms, and if we follow the way indicated by Him, Christ will come at the end of our life and take us to Himself.

Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Sts. Philip and James, Pray for Us!

To Jesus through Mary!

Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will!

The Holy Father's Intentions for May 2024 are for the Formation of Religious and Seminarians. We pray that religious women, men, and seminarians grow in their vocations through their human, pastoral, spiritual, and community formation, leading them to be credible witnesses to the Gospel.

Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!

To Jesus through Mary!

Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will!

Friends of the Rosary,

St. Joseph has two feast days on the liturgical calendar. The first is March 19—Joseph, the Saint Husband of Mary. The second is May 1—Joseph, the Worker.

Today, the Holy Catholic Church presents us the example of Saint Joseph the Worker to all laborers.

This is a feast day established by Pope Pius XII in 1955 to Christianize the concept of labor and give all workmen a model and a protector.

The husband of the Blessed Mother Mary offered to God his daily labor as a carpenter with patience and joy. St. Joseph provided for the necessities of Mary and Jesus.

Another Pope, Leo XIII, wrote wisely: "Workmen and all those laboring in conditions of poverty will have reasons to rejoice rather than grieve, since they have in common with the Holy Family daily preoccupations and cares"

Pope John Paul II said, "Saint Joseph is a man of great spirit. He is great in faith, not because he speaks his own words, but above all because he listens to the words of the Living God. He listens in silence. And his heart ceaselessly perseveres in the readiness to accept the Truth contained in the word of the Living God." 

Joseph was a compassionate man, and obedient to the will of God. He is the patron of many things, including the universal Church, fathers, the dying, and social justice.

Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!St. Joseph, Pray for Us!

To Jesus through Mary!

Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will!
