December 4, 2024, Holy Rosary (Glorious Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary, This Advent period is a unique occasion to take a serious and sincere look at ourselves. The faithful know that this earth is not our permanent home, yet many Christians live and act as if it were. They forget that one day, they will render an account of their acts at the end of their earthly life, on the day of judgment, or when the "Son of Man comes with power and in great glory,” as we read last Sunday. We have been forewarned on our Lord's prophecy about the end of the world (Luke 21:25-28; 34-36) These words of Christ should awaken us to the true facts of life and death. Life on earth is just a period of transit, which, properly used, will earn us our eternal home. Our end on earth is the beginning of true life. If we are faithful to our Christian vocation, we won’t fear the day of judgment, and Christ's second and glorious coming will not be a catastrophe for us. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!St. Francis Xavier, Pray for Us! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • ⁠December 4, 2024, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET
