October 3, 2025, First Friday of the Month, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary, Saint Bernard of Clairvaux († 1153) successfully promoted devotion to the Guardian Angels, a feast and a form of piety we celebrated yesterday.For this saint, the Holy Angels were a proof "that heaven denies us nothing that assists us." "These celestial spirits have been placed at our sides to protect us, instruct us, and guide us," he said.Another great saint, Basil the Great († 378), taught, "each and every member of the faithful has a Guardian Angel to protect, guard, and guide them through life."Today, the first Friday of the month, we celebrate our devotion to the Sacred Heart by attending Mass and receiving Holy Communion in a state of grace.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!
