On this Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, Fr. Matthew Tomeny reminds us that the Rosary is far more than a set of prayers — it is a spiritual weapon, a chain linking Heaven and earth. From the victory at Lepanto in 1571 to modern miracles of peace and protection, the Rosary has changed the course of history — and it still has the power to change our world and our hearts today.

Father Anthony reflects on the story of Martha and Mary, encouraging us to balance action with contemplation in our own lives. Are we serving God out of our own strength, or allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us through prayer?

The Catholic Church teaches that when someone takes their own life, it doesn’t mean that they automatically lose their soul. Father Chris Alar, MIC, takes this a step further and shows how your prayers today can help someone who has died for any reason, even years ago, at the moment of their judgment. Then be inspired by the testimony of a mother who lost her beloved son to suicide, and how, even in the midst of darkness and despair, she found hope and healing in God's loving mercy.
