Hello Family,
Welcome back to day 3 of our 54 Days Rosary Novena. I'm your host, Maritza Mendez, and I'm so grateful that you are here today to pray with all of us on the podcast.

Before we begin our rosary today, I want to share something that’s been on my heart, and that is the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It’s a comprehensive summary of what we believe as Catholics, drawn from the Sacred Scriptures, the Church Fathers, the Liturgy, and the Church’s teaching authority. The Catechism helps us dive deeper into our faith, offering clarity on the teachings that guide us.

For instance, it addresses the many questions we face in today’s world, such as: what is the purpose of life? How should we live in a way that reflects our dignity as children of God? How do we navigate moral challenges with grace and truth? The Catechism addresses all these questions and much more, providing us with a a solid foundation on which we can build our lives.

Even if you’ve been raised in the Catholic faith, there’s always something new to discover and understand more deeply.

Reading the Catechism can also strengthen our ability to share our faith with others. When we’re confident in our understanding, we can be better witnesses to the truth and love of Christ. I encourage you to take some time to explore the Catechism. Let it enrich your faith and deepen your relationship with God.

Father Mike Schmitz goes through the Catechism in a year. You can listen to his podcast on Audible for free. Below, and also in the show notes, I will list a link to Audible. On Audible, you will also find other books on the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Day 3 - Glorious Mysteries in Petition
Let's get started. Today, on day 3, we're praying the glorious mysteries in petition.

Blessed Mother, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, be with us in our prayers as we seek the grace of peace, patience, and perseverance. We humbly request your intercession, lifting up the special intentions that reside within our hearts.

Blessed Mother, on this feast day of Saint Clare of Assisi, we pray for all who work in media, and all of those who are enduring hardships around the world. We pray for our family’s intentions here on the podcast, intentions received by email, Instagram, and YouTube.

With love,
Maritza Mendez
