Friends of the Rosary: The message of salvation has been historically spread by the Holy Spirit working through the apostles, saints, and the faithful in the Church. This proves the power of God. Had the message of salvation been spread and promulgated by powerful men, the cry would soon go up on all sides and people would say: "This religion is the invention of the upper class; it is a clever plan of the upper classes to keep the poor and humble workers in subjection." Starting with the apostles and martyrs, it was the poor and working classes — many simple fishermen of Galilee — who spread Christ's message, and who suffered imprisonment and death at the hands of the educated and upper classes for so doing. It’s a historical fact, proven year after year, that Christ erected an institution, the Catholic Church, against which the gates of hell, the power of all the enemies of our salvation, have been incapable of prevailing, despite their countless attempts of destruction from outside and inside during twenty centuries. The divine guidance and help of Christ is with His Church, and it will be with it forever. 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 • ⁠January 20, 2024, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET
