March 27, 2024, Wednesday of the Holy Week, Holy Rosary (Glorious Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,

As we read today in the Gospel (Mt 26:14-25), during the Last Supper, Christ confirmed Judas Iscariot as His betrayer:

“Amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me.”

“Woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had never been born.”

Then Judas, his betrayer, said in reply,

“Surely it is not I, Rabbi?”

He answered, “You have said so.”

Judas Iscariot expresses the mystery of iniquity or mysterium iniquitatis. The betrayer apostle had spent years in intimacy with Jesus, enjoyed His grace and merciful love, and noticed Jesus was the Son of God. And yet he turned the Messiah over to his enemies.

Theologians say that this anomalous tendency of human beings to evil sin has no rational ground for it. Bishop Barron states, "Those of us who regularly gather around the table of intimacy with Christ and yet engage consistently in the works of darkness are meant to see ourselves in the betrayer."

Today, Wednesday of Holy Week is traditionally known as Spy Wednesday, to commemorate the treachery of Judas, who made a bargain with the high priest to betray Jesus for 30 silver pieces.

This ends the official Lenten period; tomorrow we enter into the Holy Triduum, the three great liturgical days: Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

To Jesus through Mary!
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will!

March 26, 2024, Tuesday of the Holy Week, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,

In the Holy Land, Christians participated in a stunning procession from Bethphage to Jerusalem this Palm Sunday, Catholic News Agency reported.

The route followed the same path that Jesus took when He entered Jerusalem and was acclaimed by the crowd holding palms and olive branches.

About 3,000 faithful ascended the Mount of Olives, passed by Gethsemane, where Jesus experienced the most painful hours of his passion. Due to the ongoing war, there were fewer pilgrims than usual.

Those present responded with closeness in prayer, praise to the Lord, and a message of joy — the joy of being Christians.

“We have many problems, but we are truly happy that Jesus is our Lord. He is our joy and our strength,” said the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, who led the procession.

“Let us renew our commitment to follow Jesus and let us not be afraid! Jesus on the cross is the victory over the world, not the victory of arms, but that of love.”

The procession was preceded by the solemn Palm Sunday liturgy at the Holy Sepulcher, presided over by Pizzaballa.

The faithful waved palm branches and chanted “Hosanna,” circling the edicule of the Holy Sepulcher —the small shrine that houses the tomb of Jesus Christ—three times to symbolize the three days Jesus spent in the tomb. 

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

To Jesus through Mary!
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will!

March 24, 2024, Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion, Holy Rosary (Glorious Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary:

Today, March 24th, is Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion and the beginning of Holy Week. It’s the completion of the Paschal Mystery of the Passion and Resurrection.

For five weeks of Lent, we have been preparing to celebrate our Lord’s paschal mystery by prayer, works of charity, and self-sacrifice.

Today we commemorate this solemn celebration in union with the whole Catholic Church. Christ entered in triumph into his own city of Jerusalem to complete his work as our Messiah: to suffer, to die, and to rise again.

As the faithful, we remember and dramatize Christ’s triumphal entrance into Jerusalem on a donkey. A huge crowd assembled, put their cloaks or branches on the ground, and waved palm branches, acclaiming Christ as the King of Israel, the Son of David.

We now joyfully acclaim by holding branches of palm trees Jesus our Messiah and King and sing as the priest enters the church. We cry, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord.”

Jesus the Messiah was, and is, the sign of contradiction, acclaimed by some and reviled by others. He was sent by the Father into this world to wrest us from sin and the power of darkness.

By the reading today in mass of the Passion at the Gospel, we remain united with him in his suffering on the cross, may we share his resurrection and new life.

May we reach the happiness of the new and everlasting Jerusalem one day.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

To Jesus through Mary!
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will!

March 21, 2024, Thursday of the Fifth Week of Lent, Holy Rosary (Luminous Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary:

Christ Jesus' message is crystal clear, as we read today (Jn 8:51-59):

"Amen, amen, I say to you,
whoever keeps my word will never see death."

But the prideful Jews of that time rejected His divinity and opted to offend the Lord. Even they picked up stones to throw at Him.

"Now we are sure that you are possessed.
Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say,
‘Whoever keeps my word will never taste death.’
Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died?
Or the prophets, who died?
Who do you make yourself out to be?"

Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is worth nothing;
but it is my Father who glorifies me,
of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’
You do not know him, but I know him."

"Amen, amen, I say to you,
before Abraham came to be, I AM."

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

To Jesus through Mary!
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will!

If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

March 20, 2024, Wednesday of the Fifth Week of Lent, Holy Rosary (Glorious Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary:
In today’s Gospel (
Jn 8:31-42), we read:
"Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him,
"If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples,
and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How can you say, 'You will become free'?"
Jesus answered them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.”
The Scribes and Pharisees of that time were trying to kill the Author of Life, as His word had no room among them. Their arrogance and lack of faith made them children of the Evil One. 

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

March 19, 2024, Solemnity of St. Joseph, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)

March 19, 2024, Solemnity of St. Joseph, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary:

Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of St. Joseph, the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the foster father of Jesus. He is the patron and protector of the Universal Church.

He is also invoked as the patron of the dying because Jesus and Mary were at his death-bed and the patron of fathers, among many other causes. And that’s why today is Father’s Day.

St. Joseph was an ordinary manual laborer although descended from the royal house of David. In the designs of Providence, he was destined to become the spouse of the Mother of God. He faithfully fulfilled God’s high trust in protecting and guarding the greatest earthly treasures, Jesus and Mary.

Joseph was the trustworthy witness of the Messiah’s virgin birth. After this, he modestly retires into the background of holy Scripture.

His important mission in God’s plan of salvation was “to legally insert Jesus Christ into the line of David from whom, according to the prophets, the Messiah would be born, and to act as his father and guardian”, according to the Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy.

Most of our information about St. Joseph comes from the opening two chapters of St. Matthew’s Gospel. No words of his are recorded in the Gospels; he was the “silent” man.

St. Joseph was probably born in Bethlehem and probably passed away in Nazareth, probably before the beginning of Christ’s public life.

Today is the only Solemnity celebrated in the 2024 Lenten season since Easter is so early this year and the Solemnity of the Annunciation is transferred to the Second Week of Easter.

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!

March 17, 2024, Fifth Sunday of Lent and St. Patrick, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary:

Previously called "Passion Sunday," this Fifth Sunday of Lent marks the beginning of Passiontide — the last two weeks of Lent. It commemorates the suffering of Christ (Latin passio = “suffering”). It's the final Sunday of Lent before the beginning of Holy Week.

The Catholic Church follows the practice of covering crosses and sacred images throughout the temples. Crosses remain covered until the beginning of the Easter Vigil.

The Gospel's main reading (Jn 12:20-33) invites us to reflect upon what it means to follow Christ.

The Lord said:

"Whoever loves his life loses it,
and whoever hates his life in this world
will preserve it for eternal life.
Whoever serves me must follow me, 
and where I am, there also will my servant be.
The Father will honor whoever serves me."

Also, He comments on the type of death He would suffer:

"Now is the time of judgment on this world; 
now the ruler of this world will be driven out.
And when I am lifted up from the earth, 
I will draw everyone to myself.”

The Optional Memorial of St. Patrick, which is ordinarily celebrated today, is superseded by the Sunday liturgy.

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

To Jesus through Mary!
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will!

Friends of the Rosary:

In his apostolic letter "Salvici Doloris", St. John Paul II wrote on the Christian meaning of human suffering: "It is through suffering that Jesus redeems us."

Benedict XVI wrote in his book Jesus of Nazareth: "In Jesus’ Passion, the filth of the world is wiped out in the pain of infinite love."

Great pain is God’s chosen way, because, as the Ratzinger-supervised Catechism clarifies: “The heart is converted by looking at him whom we have pierced. It is by discovering the greatness of God’s love that our heart is shaken by the horror and weight of sin and begins to fear offending God by sin (CCC 1432).”

Benedict elaborated this idea by writing that the greatest way God gave himself was by showing his crazy desire for us through his pains.

"The Cross of Jesus illumines his whole life: his swaddling clothes, his baptism, the paradoxes of the Beatitudes, the Kingdom of God, and other things difficult to decipher become understandable when Jesus’ Cross is at the center."

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

March 2, 2024, Saturday of the Second Week of Lent, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary:

We see a portrait of our Holy God in today's Gospel of Luke and the well-known parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:1–3, 11-32).

This is the story:

A son asks his father for his inheritance, then squanders it recklessly, as he lives a life of indulgence. With nothing left, he is forced to work as a hired hand for a pig farmer. He is so destitute that he longs to eat the food of the pigs. Realizing that his father’s servants have better working conditions, he resolves to return to his father, beg forgiveness, and ask to be his servant.

Upon arriving at his father’s house, he is welcomed with loving arms. His father is overwhelmed with joy at his son’s return and holds a feast in his honor.

The prodigal son’s older brother, who has remained serving in his father’s house, does not share his father’s joy. Instead, he is jealous that his father has not honored him. His father urges him not to resent his brother, but to instead be happy for him.

The story of the Prodigal Son is the history of our own desertion. But we are given an urgent call to repentance and conversion. "Father, I have sinned." Our Father welcomes us with mercy. He receives us again as His children.

Friends, the Father's nature is to give. God simply is love. And we, sinners, tend to misunderstand how to access the divine love.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

To Jesus through Mary!
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will!

February 29, 2024, Thursday of the Second Week of Lent, Holy Rosary (Luminous Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary:

Today, we read in the Gospel the story told by Jesus to the Pharisees of a poor man named Lazarus covered with sores who sat outside the door of a rich man dressed finely and dining sumptuously each day.

When Lazarus died, he was carried away by angels to "the bosom of Abraham" and comforted there. The rich man also died and was buried, and carried to the netherworld, where he was in torment.

From the flames of Hell, the rich man asked Abraham to warn his earthly five brothers what would await them if they didn't repent.

Abraham replied,
"If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded
if someone should rise from the dead."

Jesus doesn’t say anything about who was the rich man. What matters is that he didn’t care. Lazarus wasn’t his problem to address.

He lost salvation not because of anything he did, or his material richness, but because of what he omitted doing. Because of his indifference and unwillingness to take action.

As Christians, we are — or should be — committed to caring and helping those who are poor and deserve our merciful love.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

To Jesus through Mary!
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will!

February 25, 2024, Second Sunday of Lent, Holy Rosary (Glorious Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary:
The Holy Trinity speaks to us in many ways, including through the Sunday Scripture readings.
And today, on the second Sunday of Lent, we move from Jesus' retreat to the desert and the temptations by the devil to the splendor of
the Transfiguration
This episode, when Christ was transformed into pure light, is told in the three Synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. 

The Transfiguration is a promise of Jesus’ glory, his Resurrection.

On a mountain in today’s reading, a voice affirms that Jesus is God’s Son in words reminiscent of the voice at Jesus’ baptism. In addition, the appearance of Moses and Elijah connects this story with God’s relationship to the people of Israel.
Moses and Elijah represent the Law and the Prophets, respectively. Together with Jesus, they represent God’s complete Word.

The Transfiguration occurs in the presence of three of Jesus’ disciples — Peter, James, and John — who would accompany him to the Garden of Gethsemane just before his arrest in the first Sorrowful Mystery.

Friends of the Rosary:

In Lent, from Ash Wednesday until the sundown in Holy Thursday, we engage in a 40-day battle to overcome sin.

Through intense prayer, fasting and self-discipline, almsgiving and sharing our time and talents, and deep reflection, we prepare to celebrate the Lord’s Resurrection at Easter.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops says“During Lent, we seek the Lord in prayer by reading Sacred Scripture; we serve by giving alms; and we practice self-control through fasting.”

“We are called not only to abstain from luxuries during Lent, but to a true inner conversion of heart as we seek to follow Christ’s will more faithfully.” 

Lent is an personal spiritual retreat.

"Lent is a time to look inward and share our deepest desires, worries, and weaknesses with the Lord in prayer," Pope Francis said in his Ash Wednesday homily.
"The Lord is inviting us to remove the masks we so often wear and see ourselves as we truly are in the sight of God."
In his homily, Pope Francis encouraged everyone to make more space for prayer in silence in Eucharistic adoration during the 40 days of Lent.
He quoted advice from St. Anselm of Canterbury, an 11th-century Benedictine monk and doctor of the Church who wrote in 1078:
"Escape from your everyday business for a short while, hide for a moment from your restless thoughts. Break off from your cares and troubles and be less concerned about your tasks and labors. Make a little time for God and rest a while in him."
