Friends of the Rosary,
In today’s Gospel (Matthew 10:34-11:1), Jesus the Lord says, “Whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.”
Christ must be first because only then do our other loves become rightly ordered. All creation is ordered to the Divine, so it’s wise to recognize that our discipleship cannot be something added on the edges of life.
The first reading from Isaiah is just as direct. If we love God, that love has to show up in mercy, honesty, protection of the vulnerable, and a willingness to stop doing evil. “Wash yourselves clean… make justice your aim.” Prayer must become conversion.
The saint of the day, St. Henry II, Emperor II, regarded power as a responsibility before God, supporting reform and seeking to govern justly. His life reminds us that holiness is not only for churches and monasteries. It belongs in decisions, leadership, family duties, work, and public life.
Ave Maria!
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!
