Hello family, and welcome to day 52 of our 54-Day Rosary Novena. I’m your host, Maritza Mendez, and I’m truly grateful you’re here today.
As we enter these last few days of the novena, I want to be honest with you, these days feel a little different. They’re almost bittersweet.
We’re coming close to the end of this journey, and while there’s joy, there’s also a tenderness in knowing we’re almost done. But more than anything, I feel so proud of you for showing up, for staying committed, and for building your relationship with God day by day.
I also want to share a quick update with gratitude. This season, we’ve had 75,520 downloads, which means about 1,400 people praying with us daily. And since we started this podcast in August of 2020, we’ve reached over 1.1 million downloads.
All of this is possible only by the grace of God and the intercession of our Blessed Mother. Thank you for being part of this family.
Today’s theme is persevering through spiritual dryness.
Spiritual dryness happens to all of us. There are days when prayer feels full and close… and other days when it feels quiet, distant, or even empty. Dryness doesn’t mean God has left you. It doesn’t mean your prayers don’t matter. And it doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong.
Sometimes God invites us to love Him not because prayer feels good, but because we choose to stay.
Persevering in dryness is an act of faith. It’s showing up even when you don’t feel much. And that kind of prayer is very powerful.
Our prayer today is: “Lord, help me stay faithful even when prayer feels dry.”
If you're keeping up with your journal, ask yourself when prayer feels dry, what helps me keep showing up anyway?
Blessed Mother, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, today we pray for everyone learning to stay faithful during dry seasons.
We specially pray for Anne, Briana, Ceri, Cian, Donna, Fabiola, Grace, James, Jarvis, Katherine, Kathryn, Kim, Maggie, Margaret, Marlene, Mary Ellen, Michael, Niamh, Olivia, Rocio, Rose, Soraia, and Therese.
We also pray for those celebrating birthdays: Edna amd Mary. And for all the intentions held quietly in the hearts of those praying with us today.
With love,
Maritza Mendez.
