February 17, 2025, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,Today, February 17, the Church honors the Seven Holy Founders of the Servite Order. They were seven noble Florentines who, in the thirteenth century (1240), banded together to penance and meditation on the sorrows of our Lady in the passion of our Savior.Continuing with yesterday’s reflection, we were revealed that material goods don’t satisfy the hunger in our souls, as we are created to rest in God.Moreover, when we center material things on our concerns, we can become caught in an addictive pattern.We are wrongly convinced that we need more of them and work tirelessly to get more nice things — cars, homes, TVs, clothes — until we find that those don’t satisfy us.When we are unattached to and indifferent to material goods, we can relieve our anxiety and find the joy and hope of Christ.Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!+ Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!
