Friends of the Rosary,
Catholic bishops and leaders around the world are urging the faithful to respond to the anti-Christian Paris Olympics opening ceremony with fasting and prayer.
Last Friday's drag-queen and transgender-led parody of the Last Supper, along with the Golden Calf idol and even the Pale Horse from the Book of Revelation, are sparking a wave of denunciations. The spectacle was seen as a heinous mockery and public defamation of the Christian faith.
The Last Supper scene was part of the 1.5 billion euro (about $1.62 billion) spectacle to kick off the Olympic Games. It featured drag queens portraying the apostles and an overweight DJ as Jesus.
Several bishops encouraged Catholics to speak about this evil and act with love, charity, and firmness.
"The love saves France and the entire world poured out through the Mass, which came to us through the Last Supper," said a Bishop. "Inspired by the many martyrs who shed their blood to witness to the truth of the Mass, we will not stand aside and quietly abide as the world mocks our greatest gift from the Lord Jesus."
Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
Saints Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, Pray for Us!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

July 29, 2024, Memorial of Saints Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries)
Friends of the Rosary,
Jesus visited the home of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus in Bethany, a small village two miles from Jerusalem. We read of three visits in Luke 10:38-42, John 11:1-53, and John 12:1-9.
The Gospel of John tells us that Jesus had a special relationship with this family. "Jesus loved Martha and Mary and Lazarus." (Jn 11:5)
So when Jesus corrected Martha, it was with familiarity and gentleness. "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing" (Lk 10:41-42).
In Martha, we see ourselves as being worried and distracted by all we have to do in the world and forgetting to spend time with Jesus.
In another passage, Jesus wept with Martha and Mary outside the tomb of their brother Lazarus. And he performs the great miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead.
"Did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?" (Jn 11:40)
Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
Saints Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, Pray for Us!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

July 31, 2024, Memorial of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Holy Rosary (Glorious Mysteries)
Friends of the Rosary,
Today, July 31, 1556, is the Memorial of St. Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), the founder of the Jesuits.
Ignatius was born to a noble family at Loyola in the Kingdom of Navarre.
After a cannonball fractured his left leg in 1521, while he was Captain Ignatius Loyola at the siege of Pampeluna, this soldier started to read about Christ and His saints, turning wholly to God.
He would equip himself for Christ's service through a good classical and theological education. Later, he composed the admirable book Spiritual Exercises.
The members of the Society of Jesus became the Church's shock troops in the battle against the spread of Protestantism in Europe.
After his convalescence, he went to Montserrat in Barcelona and hung up his arms before the altar of the Blessed Virgin. Then, he entered upon his knighthood in the army of Christ.
He had gotten a solid education in theology, grammar, and arts, while undergoing the hardest trials, even imprisonment and beatings, almost to death. He desired to suffer far more for the glory of his Lord.
At Paris, he was joined by nine companions from that University, men of different nations, who had taken their degrees in Arts and Theology. At Montmartre, he laid the first foundation of the Society of Jesus.
Ignatius sent St. Francis Xavier to preach the Gospel in the Indies. He dispersed others to spread the Christian faith in other nations, thus declaring war against paganism, superstition, and heresy, including Luther and the heretics of his time.
He made the restoration of piety among Catholics his first care, increasing the beauty of the sacred buildings, the giving of catechetical instructions, the frequency of sermons, and the sacraments.
He opened schools everywhere to educate the youth, women of evil lives, orphans, and other vulnerable people.
He devoted himself to serving God and rescuing his neighbor, and his power over the demons was extraordinary.
St. Philip Neri and others saw his countenance shining with heavenly light.
Ignatius of Loyola was celebrated for miracles and his great services to the Church.
Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
St. Ignatius of Loyola, Pray for Us!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
