May 16, 2025, Friday of the Fourth Week of Easter, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,

As we read today (John 14:1-6), Jesus said to his disciples:

"Do not let your hearts be troubled.
You have faith in God; have faith also in me.
In my Father's house, there are many dwelling places.
If there were not, would I have told you
that I am going to prepare a place for you?"

"I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me."

Today is the memorial of St. Simon Stock (1165-1265), a hermit who received a vision of the Blessed Mother promising salvation to all those who wore the brown scapular of the Carmelite order. Mary showed Simon, a member of the Carmelite order, a brown scapular. This vision led to the widespread devotion to Mary over the following centuries.

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!
