April 5, 2025, Saturday of the Fourth Week of Lent, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries) | Fifth Anniversary of the Rosary

Friends of the Rosary,

In today’s Gospel (John 7:40-53), we read how the guards listened to Jesus' words and, moved, refrained from bringing Jesus to the chief priests and the Pharisees.

Nicodemus, one of their members who had come to Christ Jesus earlier, said to them:

“Does our law condemn a man before it first hears him and finds out what he is doing?”

At that time — as it does today — Jesus’ preaching caused division. Some hearers believed him, but others wanted to arrest him.

Christ's preaching seeks to restore us since all is not fine with us. We are not OK. Our culture today has an allergy to admitting personal fault — to admitting sin!

We have lost sight of sin, and therefore we don’t see the need for salvation in Christianity. Our holy religion has become a catalogue of moral teachings when it is a way of salvation through Christ.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

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!
