Friends of the Rosary,With the hand, we reach out and grasp things. With the foot, we set ourselves on a definite path. We are the hands and feet of Christ on search. But if we fail because we place our energies on grasping at finite things or walk on pursuing glory, honor, power, or pleasure, what is our value for the Kingdom of Heaven?Rather than human organs, we are souls meant for union with God. We are created to seek for the Divinity. That’s a well-spent life. So the question is, are we willing to spiritually puck out our eyes and abandon pleasure-oriented lives?Christ Jesus invites us in the Gospel (Mark 9:41-50) to pursue a life of perfection.“If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off.It is better for you to enter into life maimed   than with two hands to go into Gehenna,into the unquenchable fire.And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off.It is better for you to enter into life crippled   than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna.And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out.Better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eyethan with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna,where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.”“Keep salt in yourselves and you will have peace with one another.”Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!+ Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York• February 27, 2025, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET
