WHY THE ROSARY? WHY MARY?
Why do we pray the rosary?
There’s a reason we pray the rosary every single day.
It’s not about worshiping Mary just herself.
It’s about Mary being the Mother of God pulling us closer to Jesus, Her Son.
Jesus loves Mary.
Mary loves Jesus.
Jesus and Mary both love us.
Jesus is always there - He hears everything in our heart and knows everything on our mind.
Jesus wants us to love Him above all else, but He also wants us to love one another, and HONOR our parents.
Yes, that INCLUDES our spiritual Mother, Mary.
Jesus literally said, “behold, this is your Mother.”
We better take His word SERIOUSLY and start honoring our Mother Mary, who is also the Mother of God!
Honoring Mary does NOT take away our love for Jesus, it rather INCREASES how much we love God.
When we go to Mary, She will ALWAYS bring us to Jesus.
It’s not a zero-sum game. God’s love is infinite.
Let’s start imitating God in how He loves, and stop buying into the lies against the Mother of God (especially the hateful comments).
God sees you. God loves you. God cares for you.
So does Mary, Mother of God.
Pray the rosary. Today.
Be Not Afraid.

MARCH FOR LIFE, BUT ROSARY IS MORE IMPORTANT
MARCH FOR LIFE IS GOOD, BUT ROSARY IS MORE IMPORTANT
As we marched to protect the preborn lives this past Friday, the FIRST post-Roe march, our message remains the same:
Pray the rosary. Today.
While it is extremely important to fight the evils of this world (and we should continue to do so), these evils are symptoms of a LARGER problem - the conditions of the human heart.
Ever since the Fall, we have been deviating and distorting God’s original Design, which led us into more mess than we ever realized.
And to address the conditions of the human heart and get out of the messes, we must go BACK to God and start knowing and obeying His Will and Design.
And how do we do that? How do we know and obey God? That’s why we look to Mary, Jesus’ Mother.
Mary obeyed God’s Will PERFECTLY by saying YES to God, birthing Jesus, tenderly caring for Him, asking Him to help people at the wedding feast at Cana (so that the wedding party didn’t have to run dry on wine), enduring the torture of watching Her Son’s Passion, and overall Loving God above all else.
That’s why we pray the rosary - it helps us imitate Mary‘s obedience to God’s will, which is one of the most effective ways for us to come home to God, get close to Jesus.
Pray the rosary. Today.
With Love,
