S13 Day 47 - Glorious Mysteries In Thanksgiving
Hello family, and welcome to day 47 of our 54-Day Rosary Novena. I’m your host, Maritza Mendez, and I’m so grateful you’re here today.
Before we begin, I want to share something special about our team, the people behind 54 Days of Roses.
This season, it’s just Lilly and me. I take care of the prayers, the emails, and the daily recordings, and Lilly handles the social media. She even learned how to edit for this season.
Lilly has been with the podcast since August of 2020. She lives in Mexico City and she does so much for 54 Days of Roses. she puts all the episodes together and makes sure that each episode is published on time throughout all the podcast platforms. So I'm very grateful to her everything she does for 54 Days of Roses.
Today, I want to ask something from the heart: please keep both of us in your prayers. Every season, the last couple of weeks get very challenging for us. Something always seems to come up; technical issues, personal struggles, or unexpected delays.
But if for some reason an episode does not post right away, please know we are trying our best… and you can simply continue praying the mystery of the day.
Family, thank you so much for praying this novena with us. I am very grateful.
Today we continue praying in thanksgiving, trusting that God is already answering our intentions. And today’s reflection is about choosing peace instead of perfection.
So often, we want everything to be “just right”; our relationships, our healing, our spiritual life, our habits. And when things don’t go perfectly, we get discouraged.
But God is not asking for perfection. He’s asking for presence. He’s asking for trust. He’s asking for a heart that keeps showing up, even on messy days.
Peace comes when we let go of the pressure to have it all together and allow God to meet us exactly where we are.
Our prayer today is: “Lord, help me choose peace over perfection, and remind me that You are working even when my life feels imperfect.”
If you're keeping up with your journal, ask yourself what expectation do I need to let go of so I can experience more peace?
Blessed Mother, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, today we thank God for the peace He brings into our hearts, not a perfect life, but a faithful one.
We lift up all the intentions received this season through our website, Instagram, YouTube, and email. May God bless every person praying with us today.
