Friends of the Rosary,

How do we handle interactions with our secular relatives and fiends when they insult and attack, trying to inflict pain on us?

This Sunday, the solemnity of Christ the King, we found an answer in the main reading (Luke 23:35-43) when the rulers and the soldiers, sneering at Jesus on the cross, said:

"He saved others, let him save himself
if he is the chosen one, the Christ of God."

Also, one of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus, saying,
"Are you not the Christ?
Save yourself and us."

Christ remained silent. Only responded to Dimas, the good, repentant thief.

"Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."

He replied to him,
"Amen, I say to you,
today you will be with me in Paradise."

We don’t respond to provocations. We remain faithfully silent, praying for holding the virtue of patience and for the conversion of our adversaries.

Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
