Show notes
Hello, family, and welcome to Day 50 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.
As we enter these final days of the novena, our hearts are filled with both gratitude and sorrow. We continue to mourn the passing of Pope Francis, praying for the repose of his soul. His life and leadership were a gift to the Church, and his final Easter message will remain in our hearts as a reminder of hope, mercy, and Resurrection.
These last few days have felt bittersweet. I’m so grateful to be praying with you. Your presence, your faith, and your prayer intentions mean so much. Truly, I couldn’t do this without you.
And I also couldn’t do this without the help of two very special people. I want to thank Luisa, who helps from Florida with editing and putting together each episode, and Lilly, who joins us from Mexico City. She schedules and publishes each episode, posts the reels and shorts on social media, and puts together the YouTube videos you see every day.
We do face challenges—some technical, others personal—but by the grace of God, we’ve been able to publish daily throughout the season. I humbly ask that you keep all three of us in your prayers.
If the Holy Spirit moves your heart to support this ministry, please consider donating. All donations go back into the podcast to cover tools, subscriptions, and a small thank-you for Lilly and Luisa. We do this because we receive so many messages of how this podcast is helping you grow closer to God—and it helps us grow too.

Lastly, I want to acknowledge that we’ve received many prayer requests and messages this season. This is the first time I haven’t been able to personally reply to everyone or tell you what day your name will be mentioned. But I have read all your emails and I will mention your names in the next few days. I’ll reply as soon as time allows.
Let’s begin today’s Rosary.
