Hello family, and welcome to day 54 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.

Yay—we did it! What an accomplishment to stay committed in prayer for 54 days. I am so incredibly proud of each one of you who has been praying with us. You said yes to building your relationship with God, and how beautiful that our Blessed Mother has been interceding for us every step of the way.

Today, we reflect on serving with humility. True service doesn’t come from seeking attention or recognition—it flows from a heart of love, rooted in humility. Just like Jesus washed the feet of His disciples, we’re called to serve others selflessly, with joy and compassion.

And maybe you’ve been praying for something specific these last 54 days and you haven’t seen an answer yet. Please don’t be discouraged. God’s answers come in many forms—sometimes a “yes,” sometimes a “no,” and sometimes a “not yet.” But in all things, He is working for our good. Surrender your struggles, your challenges—let God lead the way. He will provide. We just have to do our part and persevere with faith.

So ask yourself today: How can I serve with humility in my daily life? How can I help others come closer to God?

I would love to continue serving through this podcast to help more people pray the Rosary. We've received so many messages from people praying the Rosary for the first time… others who have returned to the Church… and many who now pray daily with the help of this podcast.

I want to hear from you—what should be the intention for Season 13? When should we begin our next novena? Please let me know by filling out the listener questionnaire linked in today’s show notes or sending me an email at prayers@54daysofroses.com.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for being part of this novena. Let’s begin our final Rosary.
