Friends of the Rosary,
Today, April 25, is the Feast of St. Mark, the Evangelist, author of the second Gospel.
He was baptized and instructed by St. Peter, becoming his disciple, secretary, and friend in Rome.
Later, St. Mark accompanied St. Paul and St. Barnabas in their first missionary journey.
His Gospel, written in the year 50 A.D., described the miraculous powers of Christ and was written to Romans, that is, to Western Christianity.
Mark’s Gospel is the "Gospel of Peter," as it was written under the direction and aid of the prince of the apostles.
The Evangelist Mark is represented as a lion, one of the four creatures who worship the Lamb in Revelation 5:6-14, and because he opens his Gospel with the figure of John the Baptist, the “voice crying out in the wilderness”, recalling the roar of the desert beast.
St. Mark preached in Egypt, especially in Alexandria, and was martyred there. His relics were transferred from Alexandria to Venice in 828, where a worthy tomb with the winged lion was erected in St. Mark's Cathedral.
Alleluia! Christ is Risen!
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,
As we read today, on the feast day of 5th-century Saint and Father of the Church St. Cyril of Alexandria, while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum, Jesus said to unbelieving Jews (John 6:52-59) that “He is the bread that came down from heaven” and “Whoever eats this bread will live forever.”
“Amen, amen, I say to you,
unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink his Blood,
you do not have life within you.
Whoever eats my Flesh and drinks my Blood
has eternal life,
and I will raise him on the last day.
For my Flesh is true food,
and my Blood is true drink.
Whoever eats my Flesh and drinks my Blood
remains in me and I in him."
When Christ spoke of giving his flesh to eat, He revealed a profound mystery that we must understand: the life-giving flesh of Christ nourishes the whole human race through divine power.
Alleluia! Christ is Risen!
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, on the Memorial Day of St. George, the Gospel presents the reading from John 6:44–51, reflecting the heavenly origin of the Bread of Life and inviting us not to seek passing satisfaction but divine communion.
Only Christ satisfies the deepest longing of the human heart.
As St. Thomas Aquinas wrote, “Unlike manna, which sustained earthly life, Christ gives eternal life.”
In this Gospel, we see Christ offering Himself as healing and life for the soul.
Amen, amen, I say to you,
whoever believes has eternal life.
I am the bread of life.
Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;
this is the bread that comes down from heaven
so that one may eat it and not die.
I am the living bread that came down from heaven;
whoever eats this bread will live forever;
and the bread that I will give
is my Flesh for the life of the world."
Today, as a spiritual application, we meditate on the Eucharist as heaven touching earth.
St. Ignatius of Antioch called the Eucharist “the medicine of immortality.”
Alleluia! Christ is Risen!
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,
Christ the Lord declares in today’s reading of the Gospel (John 6:35-50) that He is the bread of life and promises eternal life to all who believe in Him.
Any faithful who eats and drinks the Lord’s body and blood is immortalized, becoming configured to Christ, not in a metaphorical or symbolical way.
That’s the power of the miracle of the Eucharist, which, with the eyes of faith, can be perceived.
That’s the doctrine of the Real Presence we have to strive to believe in.
That’s the transformation that implies our entire day-to-day life: body, psyche, emotions, spirit, health, relationships, jobs, businesses…
Suddenly, all becomes ordered to the eternal dimension.
Bishop Barron explains:
“The Christified person knows that his life is not finally about him but about God; the Eucharistized person understands that her treasure is to be found above and not below. Wealth, pleasure, power, honor, success, titles, degrees, even friendships and family connections are all relativized as the high adventure of life with God opens up.”
Alleluia! Christ is Risen!
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,
The crowd said to Jesus said to the crowd, as we read in the Gospel today (John 6:30-35):
"My Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven
and gives life to the world."
The people then asked, "Sir, give us this bread always."
And Christ, in response to those who sought Him for earthly bread, revealed Himself as divine nourishment:
Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life;
whoever comes to me will never hunger,
and whoever believes in me will never thirst."
To come to Christ is an act of the will; to believe is the response of faith, St. Augustine wrote.
Christ is the only one who can satisfy the deepest longings of the human heart. In Christ, every spiritual need is met.
Alleluia! Christ is Risen!
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!
