July 13, 2026, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries)
2d ago00:30:55Tap to summarizeFriends of the Rosary,In today's Gospel (Matthew 10:34-11:1), Jesus the Lord says, “Whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.”Christ must be first because only then do our other loves become rightly ordered. All creation is ordered to the Divine, so it's wise to recognize that our discipleship cannot be something added on the edges of life.The first reading from Isaiah is just as direct. If we love God, that love has to show up in mercy, honesty, protection of the vulnerable, and a willingness to stop doing evil. “Wash yourselves clean… make justice your aim.” Prayer must become conversion.The saint of the day, St. Henry II, Emperor II, regarded power as a responsibility before God, supporting reform and seeking to govern justly. His life reminds us that holiness is not only for churches and monasteries. It belongs in decisions, leadership, family duties, work, and public 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!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

2d ago00:29:21Tap to summarizeFriends of the Rosary,Today, Sunday’s Gospel (Matthew 13:1-23), we are given the parable of the sower.The seed — the Word of God — is good, but the soil — human response — dramatically differs.Some hearts are hardened, some distracted and confused by anxiety and worldly lures, and some are ready to receive the Word deeply.Jesus gently asks us what kind of soil we are today.In the first reading, Isaiah says God’s word is like rain and snow: it does not return empty, but accomplishes what God sends it to do. Even when growth feels slow, grace is not wasted. God keeps working beneath the surface.As a prayer for today, we ask the Lord to make our hearts good soil. Let His Word take root in us, bear fruit through us, and teach us mercy!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!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Transcribe →July 11, 2026, Memorial of St. Benedict, Abbot, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries)
3d ago00:29:03Tap to summarizeFriends of the Rosary,Today is the Memorial of St. Benedict (480-547), the father of Christian monasticism.St. Benedict was born in Nursia, Italy, in 480 and, after being educated in Rome, left the world to live as a solitary hermit at Subiaco. He organized a form of monastic life in twelve small monasteries. Under his guidance, as abbot, the monks vowed to seek God and devoted themselves to work and prayer.A few years later, St. Benedict left the district of Subiaco to found the abbey of Monte Cassino on the heights of Campania. There, he wrote his famous Rule, the monks' program of life, in which the Roman genius and the monastic wisdom of the Christian world are wonderfully combined.His rule prescribed common sense, a life of moderate asceticism, prayer, study, and work, and community life under one superior. It stressed obedience, stability, and zeal, and made the Divine Office the center of monastic life; it would affect spiritual and monastic life in the West for centuries to come.While ruling his monks (most of whom, including Benedict, were not ordained), he counseled rulers and Popes, ministered to the poor and destitute around him, and tried to repair the ravages of the Lombard invasion led by Totila.For St. Benedict, the fundamental, and even more, the sole objective of existence is the search for God: "Quaerere Deum." He knew that when the believer enters into a profound relationship with God, he cannot be content with living in a mediocre way, with a minimalist ethic and superficial religiosity.In this light, the faithful better the expression that Benedict took from St. Cyprian, and that is summarized in his Rule (IV, 21): Nihil amori Christi praeponere. Prefer nothing to the love of Christ.Associated with the life of the saint and worn on a Rosary, the Saint Benedict Medal is used by many faithful as a sacramental for spiritual protection against evil and temptation, and as a prayer of exorcism against Satan. The primary prayer associated with the Saint Benedict medal is an exorcism prayer, often represented by initials on the medal, which translates to: "May the Holy Cross be my light; May the dragon never be my guide. Begone, Satan! Never tempt me with your vanities. What you offer is evil; Drink the poison yourself!". 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!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

4d ago00:29:03Tap to summarizeFriends of the Rosary,Today’s Gospel (Matthew 10:16-23) continues Jesus’ mission discourse, with apostles sent “like sheep in the midst of wolves,” so Christ calls them to be both wise and innocent. Catholic discipleship is not naivety. It is courage without fear.In the first reading, "Return, O Israel, to the LORD," we observe that God does not merely demand repentance; He promises healing. “I will love them freely.” The Psalm answers with the prayer every sinner needs: “Create a clean heart in me, O God.” Before we can witness before others, we have to let God restore the heart within us.Also, the martyr saints of today, Sts. Rufina and Secunda highlight the Gospel's message. These Roman Christian martyrs show us that fidelity and love for the Lord are costly.So let's be gentle, not weak. Wise, but not calculating. If pressure comes, let's trust that the Spirit of the Father can speak through us at the hour we need Him.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!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Transcribe →July 9, 2026, St. Augustine Zhao Rong, priest, and Companions, Chinese Martyrs, Holy Rosary (Luminous Mysteries)
6d ago00:26:09Tap to summarizeFriends of the Rosary,In today’s Gospel (Matthew 10:7-15), Jesus’ apostles are sent to proclaim that the Kingdom of heaven is near. They are also told to travel lightly: no gold, no extra tunic, no dependence on worldly security.The lesson is clear: mission begins in trust. We give because we have first received.The first reading shows the heart of God as a Father who loved Israel from childhood, taught him to walk, and drew him with “bands of love.” Even when Israel wanders, God’s mercy is not cold or distant. His holiness is revealed in justice and patient, wounded love.Today’s honored saints, St. Augustine Zhao Rong, priest, and Companions, Chinese Martyrs, make this Gospel concrete. They witnessed to Christ in China through persecution, imprisonment, and martyrdom. Some were priests, many were laypeople, and many were native-born Chinese Catholics.Their feast reminds us that the Kingdom is proclaimed not only by preaching but by fidelity when faith becomes costly.The challenge for the faithful: give freely and carry peace into the house you enter. If that peace is rejected, do not become bitter. Leave the dust behind, but keep the Gospel alive in your own heart.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!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

6d ago00:30:56Tap to summarizeFriends of the Rosary,Today’s Gospel (Matthew 10:1-7) shows Jesus summoning the Twelve and giving them authority to drive out demons and cure every disease."As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.’"Discipleship is an invitation to all of us. Christ calls, names, equips, and sends. And the mission begins close to home: “the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”Meanwhile, the first reading of the Gospel warns against a fruitful life that becomes divided from God. Israel grows prosperous, but the prosperity feeds false altars. The Catholic lesson is sharp: blessings are meant to deepen worship, not replace it. The Lord asks us to “sow justice” and “seek the Lord” while there is time.Saints Aquila and Priscilla, the saints of the day, fit this Gospel beautifully. They were a married couple, coworkers of St. Paul, and their home became a place where the Church could gather and grow. Their witness reminds us that mission is not only for priests, apostles, or public preachers. A household can become a domestic church.St. John Chrysostom wrote, “The home is a little church.”Let Christ’s authority enter ordinary rooms, ordinary conversations, ordinary duties. The Kingdom is proclaimed not only by words, but by the shape of a faithful 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!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

1w ago00:31:07Tap to summarizeFriends of the Rosary,As we read today (Matthew 9:32-38), Jesus was driving out demons from possessed people; in today’s passage, He healed a man who was unable to speak.But the Pharisees, full of pride and no mercy, rather than rejoicing when God works in unexpected ways, contrary to our expectations, responded with suspicion, accusing Jesus of acting by the power of demons. They said, “He drives out demons by the prince of demons.”But the Son of God didn’t respond. He was going around to all the towns and villages in Israel, “teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness.”We continue reading,“At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for thembecause they were troubled and abandoned,like sheep without a shepherd.”“Then he said to his disciples,“The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few;so ask the master of the harvestto send out laborers for his harvest.”This Gospel shows the heart of Jesus in a very direct way. He does not look at the crowd as a problem to manage. He sees their wounds, confusion, fear, and spiritual hunger.Christ's compassion is not a vague emotion; it becomes healing, teaching, and a mission. His love always moves toward the person who is suffering.A final note: To pray for laborers is also to become willing to be sent by the Lord. People need shepherds, witnesses, teachers, confessors, parents, friends, and ordinary Christians who carry Christ's mercy into daily 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!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Transcribe →July 6, 2026, Feast of St. Maria Goretti, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries)
1w ago00:29:34Tap to summarizeFriends of the Rosary,Today, July 6, Catholics honor Maria Goretti (1890-1902) as the saint of the day, a paramount example of virtue, courage, and holiness who met a martyr's death.St. Maria was born near Ancona (Italy), the daughter of a poor peasant family. Maria was well known to her neighbors for her cheerfulness and piety.When she was twelve, she was a victim of assault; she preferred to die rather than to lose her virginity.When she refused to submit to the attacker, Alessandro Serenellis, a 20-year-old farmer, stabbed her 14 times.She was taken to the hospital, but she died while forgiving him.During imprisonment, the assassin repented. He later became a lay brother in a Capuchin monastery. Maria was beatified in 1947 and canonized in 1950. The repentant murderer sat next to her mother, Assunta, at the beatification, who also forgave him.It was also the first time a parent was present for their own child's canonization.With splendid courage, the virgin martyr surrendered herself to God and his grace and so gave her life to protect her virginity.In the homily at the canonization of Saint Maria Goretti, Pope Pius XII said,"Let us all, with God's grace, strive to reach the goal that the example of the virgin martyr, Saint Maria Goretti, sets before us. Through her prayers to the Redeemer, may all of us, each in his own way, joyfully try to follow the inspiring example of Maria Goretti, who now enjoys eternal happiness in heaven."We are all called to the pursuit of Christian virtue.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!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

1w ago00:31:24Tap to summarizeFriends of the Rosary,As we read today (Matthew 11:25-30), Christ declares, "All things have been handed over to me by my Father."Things of heaven are "revealed to little ones," while hiding them from the wise and the learnedWhy is that? Because they are the ones who refuse to rely on themselves and are disposed to receive all that God is eager to give.In addition, Our Lord invites us to rest on Him, bringing to Him all of our concerns and anxieties:"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,for I am meek and humble of heart;and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light."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!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

1w ago00:30:53Tap to summarizeFriends of the Rosary,Today, July 4, the United States celebrates Independence Day. It’s an iconic day: the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.That day, the Congress issued a Declaration of Independence, announcing "that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states."With France's help, the Americans defeated the British, and the English Parliament decided to make peace and accept American independence.With independence won, the thirteen states set out to form a new nation.This 4th of July, we recall the day when our country claimed its place among the family of nations, by being one country, under divine providence, sharing God’s blessings with all the peoples of the earth.The Catholic Church in the U.S. incorporates into the liturgy a special Mass asking for peace, justice and truth, asking us to pray that God will strengthen and bless America and make this nation a haven of liberty and justice for all—born and unborn.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!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!
