March 7, 2026, Saturday of the Second Week of Lent, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,Today’s Gospel (Luke 15:1–3, 11–32) portrays the prodigal son.The father stands for the divine mercy of God, and the older son stands for all of us sinners who misunderstand divine love.“Everything I have is yours.”The Father says the same to us today.In this magnificent parable, we see the prodigal son agonizing over his sins, feeling a great emptiness after he turned the divine gift into the ego’s possession.Finally, he realizes that only the compassion and the mercy of his father will save him.We are the real prodigal sons whom God has forgiven and brought back into his love.Also, today, the Church celebrates the Memorial of Saints Perpetual and Felicity (d. 203), two martyrs whose names are mentioned together in the Roman Canon of the Mass.These two women, relying on the strength of Christ, who was fighting with them, were exposed to the fury of wild beasts in the amphitheater at Carthage and finally killed by the sword. They took their martyrdom as a triumphant celebration.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!
