June 27, 2022, Feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries) | Special Prayer for Life

• June 27, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! Today, June 27, the Universal Church of Christ, celebrates the feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. This Marian advocation revolves around the icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, painted on wood, with background of gold, in the thirteenth century. It is Byzantine in style and it represents the Mother of God holding the Divine Child while the Archangels Michael and Gabriel show the instruments of His Passion. Our Lady appears full of sorrow, expressing compassion and sympathy for us in our fears. The icon was brought to Rome towards the end of the fifteenth century by a pious merchant. Since then, crowds, including Popes, have venerated the icon, and many graces and marvelous healings were obtained through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Pray for Us! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York [ Second Year Anniversary | In the Memory of María Blanca ]

• June 26, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! God has created us to be free. To achieve freedom we must stand firm against sin and avoid its slavery. St. Paul reminds us this fundamental truth in his letter to the Galatians (Gal 5:1, 13-16) today. He encourages us to use this freedom not for the flesh and carnal pleasure but to serving one another through love. Be guided by the Spirit, live by the Holy Spirit, advises Paul. The Spirit and the flesh are opposed to each other. This conclusion is very timely today. In our secular society, sexual immorality is rampant. And following the desires of the flesh is contrary to God. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York [ Second Year Anniversary | In the Memory of María Blanca ]

• June 25, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! Today is the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, a special form of devotion united to the Sacred Heart of Jesus that highlights the love and virtues of the heart of the Virgin. Our Blessed Mother, with her heart pierced with a sword, never was passive in her Son's mission. On the contrary. As St. Augustine said, "she cooperated through charity, in the work of our redemption". Jesus Christ loved so much his mother, that He wanted to share it with all of us. Her virginal heart, along with her interior life and the beauties of her soul, is our refuge in the storm of life. At the Rosary Network, we fully consecrate ourselves to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ave Maria!

June 24, 2022, Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries) | Special Prayer for Life

• June 24, 2021, Today’s Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • Audio Podcast of this Rosary Available Here Now! Today, while we celebrate the end of the abortion at federal level, we observe the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a devotion that symbolizes the Son of God's boundless and burning love for humans. Throughout history, saints and scholars have pointed to the Sacred Heart as the fountain of love poured into our lives. In the late 17th century, the devotion to the Sacred Heart was extended following the revelations to St. Marguerite Marie Alacoque. Jesus Christ promised the French nun Alacoque that "all those who rendered this honor to His Heart would be endowed with an abundance of heavenly graces." She also wrote: "Jesus disclosed to me the marvels of his Love and the inexplicable secrets of His Sacred Heart." Jesus promised that, in response to those who consecrate themselves and make reparations to His Sacred Heart, that: He will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life. He will establish peace in their homes. He will comfort them in all their afflictions. He will be their secure refuge during life, and above all, in death. He will bestow abundant blessings upon all their undertakings. Sinners will find in His Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy. Lukewarm souls shall become fervent. Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection. He will bless every place in which an image of His Heart is exposed and honored. He will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts. Those who shall promote this devotion shall have their names written in His Heart. In the excessive mercy of His Heart that His all-powerful love will grant to all those who receive Holy Communion on the First Fridays in nine consecutive months the grace of final perseverance; they shall not die in His disgrace, nor without receiving their sacraments. His divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment. The devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is devotion to Jesus Christ Himself. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York [ Second Year Anniversary | In the Memory of María Blanca ] From the earliest days of the Church, "Christ's open side and the mystery of blood and water were meditated upon." The heart has always been seen as the "center" or essence a person ("the heart of the matter," "you are my heart," "take it to heart," etc.) and the wellspring of our emotional lives and love ("you break my heart," "my heart sings," etc.)
