Friends of the Rosary,

Our Lord is revealing to us, through today's reading (John 15:18-21) and through his disciples, that we don't belong to this fallen, sinful world that we see around, and therefore we cannot expect praise and honors.

"If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first.
If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own;
but because you do not belong to the world,
and I have chosen you out of the world,
the world hates you."

Then what can we do, as this is our life?

Not quite so. Our soul has been created for the glory of eternity to share the entire creation with the Lord. We have to trust in him, knowing that his words are true.

It's not about earthly success, it's about everlasting joy.

"If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.
If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
And they will do all these things to you on account of my name,
because they do not know the one who sent me."

Alleluia! Christ is Risen!

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!
