Today's Rosary | Holy Rosary University

Friends of the Rosary,
Today, March 25, is the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, a feast that forecasts the event of Christmas and commemorates the most sublime moment in history, the moment when the Second Person of the Holy Trinity assumed human nature in the womb of the Virgin Mary. It’s a feast of Mary and also of Jesus.
At midnight, when the holy Virgin was alone and absorbed in prayer, the Archangel Gabriel appeared and asked her whether she’d consent to become the Mother of God.
Nazareth became the counterpart of Eden when Eve was tricked by the serpent to eat from the forbidden fruit, and sin and death took possession of her, separating humanity from the source of immortality.
It’s the contrast between the angel of darkness and the angel of light, approaching with peace the new Eve;
'Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with thee! Blessed art thou among women!'
Now, the humble maid of Nazareth replies to the heavenly messenger:
'Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it done to me according to thy word.' It’s her fiat of 'be it done,'
The obedience of the second Eve repaired the disobedience of the first Eve.
God made Mary to crush the head of the rebel angels and exalted her above all the angels of heaven as the Queen of all creation.
We, the children of Adam, who have been snatched by Mary's obedience from the power of hell, solemnize this day of the Annunciation.
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 (John 8:21-30), Jesus warned the Pharisees that they would die in their sin for having rejected Him.
He explained,
“You belong to what is below,
I belong to what is above.
You belong to this world,
but I do not belong to this world.
That is why I told you that you will die in your sins.
For if you do not believe that I AM,
you will die in your sins.”
Trapped in their condemnation, the Pharisees — and with them the entire world — didn’t realize that He was the Holy One of God and He was teaching what the Father taught Him.
However, John tells us, “Because he spoke this way, many came to believe in him.”
With His sacrifice on the Cross, Christ opened the divine heart to humanity, proving that no sin of ours can separate us from the love 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,
We’ve started the fifth and final full week of Lent. In most dioceses, crosses and statues in churches were veiled at this time to mark Passion Time. Now, day after day, the liturgical readings tell of the storm clouds that next week will break open.
Today’s Lenten main reading (John 8:1-11) teaches the episode of the adulterous woman, that every sin is adultery to God, and is pardonable by Christ.
During Lent, the penitential spirit should be present in our lives, as this season is essentially a time of prayer and mortification. This sounds like a denial of the values of our secular society — and rightly so.
The modern creed proclaims a pagan conception of mankind, and therefore, a penitential spirit is unbearable. The prevalent philosophy is: "Let us eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die."
In our pagan environment, doing penance is a dysfunctional practice of delusional pietists.
But penance has deeper significance as it puts us closer to Christ, the Suffering Servant, who endured the Stations of the Cross.
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 Fifth Sunday of Lent, formerly known as "Passion Sunday," marks the beginning of Passiontide, a deeper time within Lent. It's the final Sunday of Lent, and the Liturgy of the Word (John 11:1-45) speaks of resurrection and new life.
The Church invites us to turn our attention to the death of a loved one.
Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, He will give you.” Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise.”
Martha said to him, “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who is coming into the world.” (John 11: 21-27)
Covering crosses and images in the church from this Sunday may be observed in the Dioceses of the United States. Crosses remain covered until the end of the Celebration of the Lord’s Passion on Good Friday, but images remain covered until the beginning of the Easter Vigil.
Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

Friends of the Rosary,
Today in the Gospel (John 7:40-53), we see how even enemies of the faith can be conquered by the truth of Christ.
The guards sent to arrest Jesus returned empty-handed: they were overwhelmed by the power of His words. "Never has anyone spoken like this man," they said.
Meanwhile, the prideful Pharisees appealed to their own authority rather than examining the truth of Christ, following their own precepts.
The guards, with no theological training, recognized divine wisdom. The Pharisees, the learned and the proud, blind themselves.
John Chrysostom explained that encountering Christ demands a decision, as there is no neutral ground. We must choose: "Will we approach Jesus with openness, or will we let pride and presumption keep us from recognizing the Truth?"
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!
