Friends of the Rosary,

Today, September 13, as we continue praying for Charlie and Erika Kirk and their two children, we honor a doctor of the early Church, St. John Chrysostom (347-407), and remember the fifth apparition of Our Lady in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917.

We also prepare ourselves for the feast of the exaltation of the Holy Cross, the glorious sign of our victory, tomorrow, Sunday.

When we make the Sign of the Cross, we fix our minds and hearts on God, keeping us closer to God, and giving our entire self to God — mind, soul, heart, body, will, thoughts.

During trials and temptations, our strength and protection is the Sign of the Cross. At Baptism, we are sealed with the Sign of the Cross, signifying the fullness of redemption and that we belong to Christ.

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!

Message to Erika Kirk posted yesterday, after her emotional message, on behalf of the Rosary Network community:

Dear Erika, you are a very courageous woman, a true witness of Christ Jesus. Your lovely husband is very proud of you and your kids. Many souls will start the pilgrimage of faith and convert themselves because of your words and charitable work. We, the faithful in the U.S., share your unbearable pain.

Today, we honor the Most Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Mother of Jesus and Queen of the Universe feels your suffering and prays and intercedes for you and your children. Please trust in her intercession and pray daily her Holy Rosary. She will guide you in the storm.

Erika, we love you and your family very much. Our heartfelt prayers are with you. Please continue spreading the merciful love of Christ through your family, a lovely domestic Church. Ave Maria.

In Christ, Mikel and Maria Blanca.
