September 13, 2025, Fifth Apparition of Our Lady in Fatima, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries) | Prayer for Charlie and Erika Kirk

Friends of the Rosary,Today, September 13, as we continue praying for Charlie and Erika Kirk and their two children, we honor a doctor of the early Church, St. John Chrysostom (347-407), and remember the fifth apparition of Our Lady in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917.We also prepare ourselves for the feast of the exaltation of the Holy Cross, the glorious sign of our victory, tomorrow, Sunday.When we make the Sign of the Cross, we fix our minds and hearts on God, keeping us closer to God, and giving our entire self to God — mind, soul, heart, body, will, thoughts.During trials and temptations, our strength and protection is the Sign of the Cross. At Baptism, we are sealed with the Sign of the Cross, signifying the fullness of redemption and that we belong to Christ.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 YorkMessage to Erika Kirk posted yesterday, after her emotional message, on behalf of the Rosary Network community:Dear Erika, you are a very courageous woman, a true witness of Christ Jesus.
