Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC Fatima and the Rosary April 22, 2017 at the Divine Mercy Weekend Conference at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.

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.

Fr. Gabe Cillo reminds us of Jesus’ words: “Unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven” (Mt 18:3). The path to holiness is not about power, recognition, or external perfection, but humility of heart. St. Thérèse of Lisieux, the Little Flower, embraced this Gospel truth in her “Little Way,” choosing hiddenness, trust, and simplicity over greatness in the eyes of the world.
