March 7, 2025, Friday After Ash Wednesday, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,Today, Friday after Ash Wednesday, on the memorial day of Perpetua and Felicity (d. 203), two saints taken from the Common of Martyrs, Christ Jesus is revealing once again what should be our priority as humans (Matthew 10:34-39):"Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me,and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;and whoever does not take up his crossand follow after me is not worthy of me.Whoever finds his life will lose it,and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."He came to reorder our priorities. He said to the Apostles:"Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth.I have come to bring not peace but the sword.For I have come to seta man 'against his father,a daughter against her mother,and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;and one's enemies will be those of his household."St. Paul explains in today’s letter to the Romans (Romans 8:31b-39):“If God is for us, who can be against us?”“He who did not spare his own Son,” who now “intercedes for us.”“What will separate us from the love of Christ?Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine,or nakedness, or peril, or the sword?”“Neither death, nor life,nor angels, nor principalities,nor present things, nor future things,nor powers, nor height, nor depth,nor any other creature will be able to separate usfrom the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”Ave Maria!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!
