More and more people think the world will be different after the coronavirus. The virus changed and still shakes all old routines. It disorients souls, feeds tormenting questions, and even affects our faith!

Dear Faithful,

I trust we all learn from this virus the new and only focus: God and my soul! Everything else is trivial and transient. Even if the disease temporarily takes the sacraments away from us, it cannot take away our God. He is our loving Father; we are His sons. Jesus died for us and rose from the dead; we are His friends. He gave us his mother; we are her children. External things and contacts are all details from this viewpoint. Our hope in God should not suffer.

On the contrary! Where everything else falls and crumbles, our faith should grow more intimate. Where we experience trials, the Faith becomes real on a personal level, and charity excels.
Together we want to undertake something special, to change this time of containment into a spiritual remedy. Let us ensure that the health crisis that menaces our bodies develops into a triumph of faith, hope, and charity that refines and vivifies our souls, internalizing what is now still too superficial.

So we turn again to the Rosary! For 16 weeks, we will give our love to Our Lady: from the Sunday of the Good Shepherd until August 15th, the feast of her Assumption. Every day let us immerse ourselves into the mysteries of the lives of Our Lord and Our Lady, to get close to Our Lady to learn from her the genuine love of Christ.

We take her as our guide, the Star of the Sea! We will count our rosaries. But what matters more than numbers is that we advance in the intimacy of Jesus and Mary with every Hail Mary, every decade, and every Rosary.

At the end of the 16 weeks, we wish to consecrate ourselves to Our Lady. This consecration should be the affirmation of our conversion, prompted by the coronavirus, begun with a resolute will, guided by Our Lady. Observe the example of St. Bernard:
