Hello family, and welcome to day 48 of our 54-Day Rosary Novena! I'm your host Maritza Mendez. Thank you so much for joining us today and a very warm welcome to anyone who is joining for the first time.
Today is Monday in the Octave of Easter, which means we’re continuing the joyful celebration of Christ’s Resurrection. In the Church, Easter isn’t just one day—it’s a season! The Octave of Easter is the eight-day period beginning on Easter Sunday, where each day is celebrated like a mini Easter. It's a time to let the joy of the Resurrection settle into our hearts.
Our theme today is Pursuing Wisdom. Wisdom is more than knowledge—it’s a gift from God that helps us see with clarity, choose what is right, and walk in His ways. In moments of confusion or uncertainty, divine wisdom is what steadies our path.
So today, let’s ask: Am I inviting God into my decisions? Do I pause and pray before I act or speak?
Family, I would also love to get to know you better! If you haven’t yet, please take a moment to fill out our listener questionnaire. The link is in the show notes and also here: fill out our questionnaire
It only takes a minute, and it truly helps me understand how to better serve you through this podcast.
Let’s begin today’s Rosary with open hearts, asking the Holy Spirit to guide us in wisdom, love, and truth.
