September 20, 2024, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,

Accompanying Jesus and the Twelve Disciples were women like Mary Magdalene, Joanna, the wife of Herod’s steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others.

In this journey, these women provided for Jesus and the disciples out of their resources and were helping to proclaim the Kingdom of God, as we read today in the Gospel (Luke 8:1–3).

Jesus, breaking the social conventions of that time, invited women to participate fully in the life of discipleship.

Great women have followed Jesus over the centuries.

Across history, we find role models like St. Monica, Clare of Assisi, Terese of Avila, Thérèse of Lisieux, Edith Stein, Mother Teresa of Kolkata, Faustina Kowalska, and many others.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!

To Jesus through Mary!
