Friends of the Rosary,

Today, the Catholic Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Athanasius (295-373), Bishop of Alexandria and a champion of the faith as defined by the Council of Nicea in 325 in the battle against the heresy of Arianism.

He was subjected to persecution for defending Christ’s divinity and was sent into exile from his see five times.

Everyone esteemed him as a virtuous, holy man, an ascetic, a true bishop.

The Divine Providence preserved him through a lifetime of trial and danger.

“You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved,” Jesus said to the Twelve, as we read today (Matthew 10:22-25)

“When they persecute you in one town, flee to another. Amen, I say to you, you will not finish the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.”

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

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!
