February 13, 2024, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary: In today's readings, we learn from the first letter of James the Apostle about the value of trials and temptation (Jas 1:12-18). "Blessed is he who perseveres in temptation,for when he has been proven he will receive the crown of lifethat he promised to those who love him." "Each person is tempted when lured and enticed by his desire. Then desire conceives and brings forth sin, and when sin reaches maturity it gives birth to death." All good giving and every perfect gift are from above, coming down from the Father of lights." Friends, we are encouraged to persevere through trials, even finding joy in our difficulties, for these challenges test our faith and develop perseverance. As the holy apostle teaches, we must avoid being double-minded and unstable in our faith, especially when seeking wisdom from God. Instead, we should ask for God's grace and wisdom with unwavering faith, for He gives generously to all who ask. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary!Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • ⁠February 13, 2024, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET
