April 16, 2024:
Amelia wishes to thank our 400th subscriber to the Rosary Channel, our humble effort to re-examine the "why" behind our prayers, narrated by Fr. Chris Alar, Provincial Superior of the Marians of the Immaculate Conception at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy (USA), and with the founding Spiritual Direction of Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC, the Assistant Rector of the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy, who has helped us with big-picture visioning since 2022 March 15th and catechesis of the Rosary that has underlined the mission of our podcast: to find new and creative ways to teach the Rosary.
This mission was re-invented and evolved after pondering the words of Cardinal Marto (Portugal), a voice from the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátima who in May 2023 noted at a local conference in Fátima that we need a new pedagogy to teach children how to pray the Rosary. (We thank him for his encouragement and blessing upon this Rosary ministry). Fr. Elias Mary Mills (USA) has noted of the Catechesis of the Rosary that what we can rediscover is not so much "new" but something we must recover. Finally, Fr. Peter Turrone (Canada) notes that all our efforts must begin with prayer. Thus, we hope your experience of this podcast is just that: an extension of your prayer of the Rosary, like these conversations extend from our own prayers and desire to understand the School of Our Lady. Fr. Nuno Rocha (Portugal) notes in his latest book
"The Secret of Joy" (published by Travessa da Senra House Press) that we can arrive at the True Joy of our humanity by "getting to know that Someone: the person of Jesus. And then, through this knowledge, God communicates through our lives. If God is with us, this joy already extends to me here, because God is really someone who loves us and is willing and capable to make us happy." He adds that "The one who is joyful makes others happy. Someone who wants you to be happy is capable of making you happy—this is our joy, for on my own I am incapable of being joyful; rather, I must be joyful together with others. Otherwise, I cannot have joy. It is impossible alone. And that is why we have this joy, because someone has it in plenitude—this absolute felicity that flows to us in abundance."

16 APRIL 2024 | TUESDAY (Reviewed by Izzy Nunziato, BC, PACIFIC STANDARD TIME), 1st Edition for subscribers sent automatically by substack via e-mail.Dear readers and friends in Christ:
Izzy, Christine & Tina writing to say how happy we are to finally share with you more of our timely discussion with Teresa Tomeo on the Feast of St. Bernadette.
In today’s post, we begin with the end in mind, clipping unconventionally, the short from the end of our full podcast that will be released at 7 p.m. EST on May 12, 2024 on the Vigil of the Feast of Our Lady of Fátima. Please mark your calendars.
Today’s video presentation LIVE RECORD asks the following questions in light of St. Bernadette’s words:
Why must we suffer? Because here below pure Love cannot exist without suffering. O Jesus, Jesus, I no longer feel my cross when I think of yours." - St. Bernadette How do we listen to God when we are in pain?
What are my gifts / talents / abilities meant to be used for?
"PAIN IS NEVER PERMANENT" (TERESA TOMEO)Teresa Tomeo explains that:
“Pain is never permanent.”
Teresa reminds us that “while we are alive”, “God will do something with us”, and that “We must have confidence and trust in His Mercy.”
She further advises:
“Offer up your suffering. Learn from the suffering. Instead of asking Why, ask what.”
She goes back to her earlier point on humility:
“I am yours, I was made for you. What do you want me to do?” St. Teresa of Avila
We hope you enjoy this small set of discussion extras captured from the Live Record:
- bonus reel features Dr. Josephine Lombardi (St. Augustine's Seminary, Canada) and guest co-host / guest respondent for today's broadcast session with Teresa Tomeo. Thanks to Dr. Lombardi who has been an amazing part of this show, guiding us with her wisdom and love for Our Lady.
Today, she speaks with Dr. Bailey and our podcast team about the "Our Father" and how to spend our time in this year of prayer as we approach the Jubilee 2025 and rediscover the Our Father, which Dr. Lombardi will return to the show to discuss as she re-releases her book. Until next time. Pray the Rosary every day.
The Rosary Hour Podcast Team xoxoFR. ELIAS MARY MILLS (HYPERDULIA MEDIA)The Rosary Hour Podcast team has been blessed to receive Spiritual Direction from Fr. Elias Mary Mills (Franciscan of the Immaculata) who with our team provides a few notes on the Scapular for this episode and which we will feature soon with his full-length presentation before the Feast of Our Lady of Fátima.
Last week, Fr. Elias share with us the brand new channel of the Franciscans: Hyperdulia Media.
Below is wonderful 7-minute discussion by Fr. Carlos Martins, CC, similar to our own podcast microcast format. This presentation is entitled: “My experience of being consecrated to Our Lady”.
The Rosary Hour Podcast team highly recommends this channel as a resource to teach the importance of consecration, prayer, and all things that might allow us to live with Our Lady at every moment as we rediscover together the “Why” behind our prayers.
