January 16, 2026, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,In the Old Testament, the Jewish people were asking, "Why has the Lord permitted us to be defeated?"In the New Testament, in yesterday's reading (Mark 1:40-45), the leper asked himself the same question. But he recognized the authority of the Lord when he begged:“If you wish, you can make me clean."Moved with pity, Jesus said to him,“I do will it. Be made clean.”The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean.But if he had not been “defeated” by this disease, he never would have attracted the attention and the pity of Jesus.Our struggle disposes us to receive God’s mercy!Ave Maria!Come, 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!
