Today's Rosary | Holy Rosary University

Friends of the Rosary,
Today, the faithful recall the apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Lourdes, which began on 11 February 1858.
Mary appeared to a 14-year-old girl, Bernadette Soubirous, 18 times near a grotto along the banks of the Gave River in France.
In the first apparition, fearing she was hallucinating and not knowing what to do, Bernadette Soubirous took her rosary out of her pocket and began to recite it, and the Virgin joined her in prayer.
On 25 March, the Virgin revealed that she was the Immaculate Conception. This dogma of faith had been promulgated by Pope Pius IX on 8 December 1854.
Lourdes is famous for its apparitions, especially for the message of hope it offers to all who suffer in body and spirit.
Ever since the apparitions, Lourdes has been known as a place that welcomes all who are physically or spiritually ill and who, through the intercession of the Immaculate Conception, seek to rediscover peace, health, and serenity. Millions visit this Catholic pilgrimage annually.
Seventy healings have been recognized by an autonomous group of physicians, along with many conversions.
Still today, the Virgin Mary is the one who continues to intercede for her children, particularly for those who are weak, those who are physically and spiritually ill.
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, February 10, is the Memorial of St. Scholastica (480-547), the twin sister of St. Benedict, the patriarch of Western monasticism.
Inspired by Benedict's teaching, this 6th-century Italian virgin and nun founded the female branch of the Benedictine order. She established a convent near Monte Cassino, where she followed the Benedictine rule of prayer and work.
Scholastica devoted her whole life from early youth to seeking and serving God.
Tradition holds that at her death, her soul ascended to heaven in the form of a dove.
Also, a miracle is attributed to her. According to Pope St. Gregory the Great, when Benedict refused to stay past their annual visit, Scholastica prayed, causing a severe thunderstorm that forced him to stay, demonstrating that her love for God allowed her to prevail.
She is often depicted holding a dove or a book of rules, symbolizing her pure soul and role as a founder.
Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

Friends of the Rosary,
In today’s Gospel, Mark the Evangelist (Mark 6:53-56) reports Jesus healing many people at Gennesaret.
We hear that people brought the sick on mats from all over the region, and all of them were cured.
"Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak; and as many as touched it were healed."
These miracles of Jesus were not spiritual or literary symbols.
Like the first Christians, today we see these miracles for what they really were: actions of God breaking into our world.
It was, and it is real healing, like the miracles attributed to the saints. Heaven is always helping us complete our mission as humans!
Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

Friends of the Rosary,
In today’s Gospel of Matthew (Matt 5:13-16), Christ himself calls his disciples to be the “salt of the earth” and the “light of the world.”

Christ Jesus was and is the light of the world and the salt of the earth. Now, after the Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mountain, he is putting his true followers on almost a level with himself.
The Son of God gave us the knowledge of the true nature of God, as shown by the Incarnation. He gave this life its flavor, its meaning, and its preservation.
By defeating sin and dying on the cross, forgiving our pride and ignorance, he took away the sting of death and removed its eternal corruption by promising and guaranteeing us a resurrection to eternal life.
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, the Catholic Church honors Blessed Pius IX, who reigned as pope from 1846 to 1878.
He defined the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary on December 8, 1854, and celebrated the First Vatican Council in 1869.
He was a saint who knew how to admirably unite the active and the contemplative life. He was ready for pastoral needs, but always interiorly recollected, with strong Eucharistic and Marian devotion and fidelity to daily meditation and the examination of conscience.
Blessed Pius IX was recognized as assiduous in prayer, in the ministry of the Word, in the celebration of the liturgy, in the confessional, and above all in his daily ministry at the service of the humblest and neediest.
February 7-14 marks National Marriage Week.
Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
