November 4, 2024, Memorial of St. Charles Borromeo, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,

While we continue praying for the Faithful Departed, especially from November 1 through the 8th, today we celebrate the Memorial of St. Charles Borromeo (1538-1584), the bishop of Milan.

He was from a wealthy, aristocratic Italian family. During a plague, he walked barefooted in the public streets, carrying a cross with a rope around his neck, offering himself as a victim to God for the transgressions of his people.

He died in 1584 at forty-six, dressed in sackcloth and ashes, holding a picture of Jesus Crucified. His last words were, "See, Lord, I am coming, I am coming soon."

Also, today is the birthday of Maria Blanca, co-founder of the Rosary Network, who is now in the glory of Heaven.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!

To Jesus through Mary!
