S13 Day 26 - Sorrowful Mysteries in Petition

Hello family, and welcome to day 26 of our 54-Day Rosary Novena. I’m your host, Maritza Mendez, and I’m grateful you’re here today.

Before we begin, I want to remind you that if you’d like us to pray for you by name, you can submit your intentions at 54daysofroses.com, or email me directly at prayers@54daysofroses.com.

This season, we continue praying for peace in the world, for freedom from addictions, for those who are struggling now, for those in recovery, and for the families and friends walking with them in love and hope.  And we also hold in prayer the intentions you carry in your heart.

Today we reflect on something all of us need at some point: the humility to start again.

Healing is not a straight line. Sometimes we fall back, get discouraged, or feel like we’re not moving fast enough. But God is not keeping score the way we think He is. He looks at the heart, at every small step, every effort, every moment we turn back to Him.

Starting again doesn’t mean you failed. It means you’re still fighting. It means you’re growing. And it means you trust that God’s mercy is bigger than your mistakes. 

Humility is simply saying: “Lord, I can’t do this on my own. Help me begin again.” And every time we ask, He gives us the strength we need, one day at a time. 

If you are keeping up with your journal, ask yourself:  where in my life do I need the humility to start again, and what small step can I take today? 

Blessed Mother, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, today we bring to you every heart that needs a fresh start, and every intention shared with us this season.

 We pray for birthdays being celebrated today, this month, and through December 25th, health, well-being, emotional and physical healing, a home at risk of repossession and all financial needs, conversion, deeper faith, and a restored relationship with God, provision and God’s guidance in decisions, a family grieving the loss of a niece, families praying for their loved ones and for their home to sell, compassion, love, forgiveness, and understanding within families, interior freedom and peace, blessings for their children, grandchildren, and everyone they pray for, the successful approval and migration of a family to Newfoundland, jobs, opportunities, and stability, healing, employment, and recognition, someone praying for a special person, someone praying for a good and loving wife, the need for housing, safety, and security, good health and good spirits, the desire to grow holier and to deepen their Catholic faith, and a home to be built sooner and a renewed relationship with God. 

With love,
Maritza Mendez.
