January 18, 2024, Holy Rosary (Luminous Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary:

This week in the Gospel we see Christ Jesus curing many, including a man with a withered hand (Mark 3:1–6) as well those who had diseases and were pressing to touch him (Mk 3:7-12).

The unclean spirits were falling before him shouting, "You are the Son of God."

These healings signified the arrival of the kingdom of God.

His person was an entirely new way of ordering things — based on unconditional love and kindness.

This way of life made demons crazy and awakened the opposition of the powers of that time — the Pharisees and the religious establishment.

Our Lord permitted all of that darkness to crush Him. But then, on the third day, He would rise again from the dead in the power of the Holy Spirit, swallowing up the darkness of the world.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

To Jesus through Mary!
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will!
