February 19, 2026, Thursday After Ash Wednesday, Holy Rosary (Luminous Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,

Today, at the second Lenten Mass, we are instructed in our spiritual program: the imitation of Christ!

Do we have the desire to follow in the footsteps of our Master?

He says, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me (Matt 16:24)." 

Jesus warns his followers that if they remain loyal to his teaching, they must expect the same fate. It means rejecting all personal security and accepting the way of the Cross.

The reward is active participation in Christ’s resurrection and in the kingdom of Heaven.

It's the paschal mystery that is fulfilled for every Christian. This experience in death and resurrection to be living eternally in glory with Him!

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!
