December 22, 2025, Monday of the Fourth Week of Advent, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,In today’s Gospel (Luke 1:46-56), we hear the Magnificat, Mary’s hymn of praise to the Lord.The hymn commences with a declaration, “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord. My spirit rejoices in God my savior.”Her whole being is ordered to glorify and give honor to God. She wants nothing for herself; she wants only to be an occasion for honoring God.“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;my spirit rejoices in God my savior.for he has looked upon his lowly servant.From this day all generations will call me blessed:the Almighty has done great things for me,and holy is his Name.He has mercy on those who fear himin every generation.He has shown the strength of his arm,and has scattered the proud in their conceit.He has cast down the mighty from their thronesand has lifted up the lowly.He has filled the hungry with good things,and the rich he has sent away empty.He has come to the help of his servant Israelfor he remembered his promise of mercy,the promise he made to our fathers,to Abraham and his children forever.”Ave MariaCome, 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!
