Today's Rosary | Holy Rosary University

Friends of the Rosary,
During Lent, we prepare ourselves for the central events of Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
Because of the sins and disobedience of the human race, Christ, the Son of God in human nature, decided to pay for our redemption with his blood.
Through his infinite mercy and love for us, he set us free from the slavery of Satan and of sin.
God the Father glorified him with the resurrection.
The lesson for humans was clear: if we follow Christ, the new Head of humanity, faithfully in these virtues, joys, and sufferings, we will all be offered a share in an eternal life of glory.
The victory of Christ over the power of Satan, proclaimed by the Church, should be ours also. Our strength is His. In our weakness, we are strong. The Lord delights in our effort and grants us the most important thing on earth: His grace!
Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!

Friends of the Rosary,
Today, Tuesday of the Second Week of Lent, we see in the Gospel, Christ the Lord condemning the religious externalism, vanity, and hypocrisy of the Pharisees of that time, and currently, all of us.
We should look into our Lenten practices of piety and works of charity and see whether they are performed to be seen.
Also, today the dioceses of the United States celebrate the Memorial of St. Katharine Drexel (1858-1955), virgin, called to teach the Gospel and to bring the Eucharist to the Native American and African American people.
Born into a wealthy Philadelphia family, she founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament and opened mission schools in the West. In 1915, she founded Xavier University in New Orleans.
At her death, there were more than 500 sisters teaching in 63 schools.
Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

Friends of the Rosary,
Mercy comes before love. It perfects love.
Christ the Lord, through his disciples, is telling in the Gospel of Luke (Lk 6:36-38) today:
"Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.”
God is love (1 John 4:8), but we encounter Him first as mercy.
St. Thomas Aquinas explains that mercy is love responding to suffering and weakness (Summa Theologiae II-II, q.30).
God acted first. "While we were still sinners Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8)."
He forgave, pursued, and redeemed us. This is mercy preceding love.
With mercy, the heart softens, gratitude awakens, and then love grows.
Consider the sinful woman in Luke 7:
“Her many sins have been forgiven; hence, she has shown great love.”
Mercy and forgiveness ignited love.
St. Faustina recorded Jesus saying:
“The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to My mercy.”
If someone feels distant from God, it is often because they think they must love perfectly before approaching Him.
The Gospel says the opposite: Come in your weakness, receive mercy, and love will grow.
Like the Prodigal Son, we are embraced before we can fully express our love.
Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

Friends of the Rosary,
The Transfiguration of Christ is closely tied to the Passion, as it occurs just before Jesus' journey to Jerusalem and death. It acts as a preview of his resurrected, glorified body.
In today's Gospel, the Second Sunday of Lent (Matthew 17:1-9), the transfigured Lord Jesus, accompanied by Moses and Elias — representing the Law and the Prophets — reveals His divine glory, foreshadowing His resurrection from the dead.
Appearing in dazzling white on a mountain, Christ confirms his identity as the Son of God, connects his divine nature to the coming Passion, and reinforces the disciples Peter, James, and John's faith before his crucifixion.
He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end of all things, the Holy One of God who brings our own transfiguration as the goal to attain.
The Transfiguration of Jesus (Matthew 17, Mark 9, Luke 9), a solemnity celebrated on August 6, highlights Christ as the fulfillment of the Old Testament as the Divine Voice.
"This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him!" proclaimed the voice of God.
Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!

Friends of the Rosary,
Jesus commands us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, as we read today (Matthew 5:43-48).
How do we make sense of this commandment?
It’s because it's the way to achieve perfection.
“So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect."
Loving our enemies tests the quality of our love - love understood not as an emotion but as an act of willing the good of the other.
These enemies might reveal uncomfortable truths and weaknesses about ourselves.
Also, there might be a chance we can win them back.
Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
