2w ago00:32:06Tap to summarizeFriends of the Rosary,Today, Christ the Lord (Matthew 13:36-43) explains the parable of the weeds in the field."He who sows good seed is the Son of Man,the field is the world, the good seed the children of the Kingdom.The weeds are the children of the Evil One,and the enemy who sows them is the Devil.The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.Just as weeds are collected and burned up with fire,so will it be at the end of the age.The Son of Man will send his angels,and they will collect out of his Kingdomall who cause others to sin and all evildoers.They will throw them into the fiery furnace,where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.Then the righteous will shine like the sunin the Kingdom of their Father.Whoever has ears ought to hear."As we learn from the Lord, good and evil grow together for a time, but not forever.The Lord is patient. He will separate what is true from what is false, what belongs to the Kingdom from what destroys it.Let’s not be discouraged by the weeds — in the world, in the Church, or 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!

2w ago00:27:46Tap to summarizeFriends of the RosaryJesus describes today to the crowds, with two parables, the transforming power of the Kingdom of God by comparing it to a mustard seed and yeast. (Matthew 13:31–35).“The Kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field. It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush,and the ‘birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.’”He spoke to them another parable.“The Kingdom of heaven is like yeastthat a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flouruntil the whole batch was leavened.”The Church, the body of Jesus, the living organism that makes present Christ’s mind and will in the world, is here to transform the world — rather than to make itself accessible to the world, as Bishop Barron explains.“It is the mustard seed, the leaven. In Augustine’s terms, it is the city of God making its way within the city of man.”“It is his love made flesh throughout the ages, his hands and feet and eyes and heart.”—Yesterday, in Matthew 13:44-52, Jesus said to his disciples: “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls. When he finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it.”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!

4w ago00:33:37Tap to summarizeFriends of the Rosary,Today, July 14, the Catholic Church in the USA celebrates the Memorial of St. Kateri Tekakwitha (1656-1680), the "Lily of the Mohawks," the first native American to be declared "Blessed" and "Saint."Kateri was born in 1656 near the town of Auriesville, New York. She refused to marry a Mohawk man and, at nineteen, finally got the courage to take the step of converting. One year later, she was baptized by a Jesuit missionary on Easter Sunday in 1676, given the name Kateri (Catherine).She was devoted to the Eucharist and to Jesus Crucified, leading a life of prayer, penitential practices, and care for the sick.Kateri incurred the hostility of her tribe because of her faith while praying for the conversion of her nation.Witnesses said that her emaciated face changed color and became like that of a healthy child. The lines of suffering, even the pockmarks, disappeared, and the touch of a smile came upon her lips. She was beatified in 1980.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!

4w 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!

4w 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!

4w 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!".

4w 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)
Jul 900:26:09Tap 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!

Jul 800:30:56Tap 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!

Jul 700:31:07Tap 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!
