S12 Day 53 - Joyful Mysteries in Thanksgiving
Hello family, and welcome to Day 53 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, we reflect on the beauty and importance of building a strong Church community. Our faith journey isn’t meant to be walked alone—God places us in community to support, uplift, and pray for one another. Whether online or in person, our prayer family is a reflection of the Church, growing together in love and faith.
Throughout this novena, many of you have shared how the Blessed Mother has interceded in your lives—bringing peace, healing, and renewed faith. But we know there are still so many stories we haven’t heard yet, and we want to hear them. If this novena has touched your life, please consider sharing your testimony using the link in today’s show notes. Your words can inspire others and remind us all of how God is moving through this prayer.
I’d also love to know where you’re joining us from. If you haven’t already, please take a moment to complete the listener questionnaire—you’ll find the link in the show notes and in today’s email. This helps me get to know you better and improve the podcast for future seasons.
Let’s also continue to pray for the Church, and especially for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis. May his legacy of mercy, humility, and compassion live on in each of us.
And as we prepare for the next season of the podcast, we are looking for volunteers. If you have a talent—whether it’s editing, organizing, writing, translating, or helping with social media—we would love to hear from you! You can let us know in the comment section of the questionnaire or email me directly at prayers@54daysofroses.com.
Let’s begin today’s Rosary.
