S13 Day 7 - Glorious Mysteries in Petition
Hello family, and welcome to Day 7 of our 54-Day Rosary Novena. I’m your host, Maritza Mendez, and I’m so happy you’re here.
If you haven’t already, I’d love to invite you to pray with us on our YouTube channel. This season, we’ve created beautiful background videos to help you enter into prayer more deeply. You’ll also get to see me before each prayer as I share the day’s reflection and the names we’re praying for together.
This season, we continue praying for peace in the world, and for all those struggling with addictions, for those in recovery, for the families who walk beside them with love and patience, and for the intentions you carry in your heart today.
Today, we reflect on the emptiness that addiction tries to fill. Sometimes what we call “addiction” begins as a deep ache inside, a longing to feel seen, loved, or whole.
It might be a wound from the past, a need for comfort, or a way to escape pain. But no matter how much we try to fill that emptiness with things of the world, it never truly satisfies. Only God can fill that space.
Only His love can bring peace to the restless heart.
So today, instead of hiding our emptiness, we bring it to Him. We let Mary, our Mother, hold us and guide us toward the healing love of her Son.
Our prayer today is simple: Jesus, fill the empty places in our hearts with Your love. Mary, help us trust that God alone can satisfy our soul.
For your journal reflection: What am I trying to fill or fix on my own, instead of letting God heal?
Let us pray.
Blessed Mother, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, we bring to you every heart that feels empty or lost. Lead us closer to your Son, the only One who can satisfy our deepest hunger for love and peace.
We pray for peace in the world, for all those battling addiction, and for every person longing to be made whole again in God’s grace.
Today we pray especially for: Amy, Andrea, Annete, Bernadette, Brittany, Calandra, Caroline, Charlotte, Christopher, Claire, Cynthia, Devon, Denise, Dominic, Emily, Eric, Finnigan, George, Gillian, Giulian, James, Jade, Joe, John, Johnny, Kelsey, Kelly, Kathleen, Kathryn, Kristina, Lauren, Lillie, Loni, Maribel, Marianne, Marisabel, Max, Mike, Molly, Niall, Nicholas, Noreen, Paul, Quin, Renee, Sarah, Teague, Theresa, Therese, The Cesar & Therese Rivera Family, the Hall Family, Toni, and Zachary.
If you feel called, please share this novena with someone who needs hope today. And if you’d like us to pray for you, submit your names or intentions at 54daysofroses.com.
And now, let us begin.
With love,
Maritza Mendez.
