HOLY ROSARY TODAY, FRIDAY, JANUARY 16 | SORROWFUL MYSTERIES - Victory of Faith - POPE LEO XIV

Today, we pray the Holy Rosary — The Sorrowful Mysteries on Friday, January 16, 2026, as the Church honors Saint Marcellus I, Pope and Martyr — a shepherd who rebuilt the Church from the ashes of persecution, and who endured the humiliation of exile, even being forced to labor in a stable because he would not deny Christ.

This Rosary is offered as “Victory of Faith” — a prayer for fortitude in suffering, peace in humiliation, and perseverance under the Cross. Together, we contemplate the love of Jesus poured out in sacrifice — the Agony in the Garden, the Scourging at the Pillar, the Crowning with Thorns, the Carrying of the Cross, and the Crucifixion — and we ask the Lord to transform our trials into a path of holiness. (The Sorrowful Mysteries are traditionally prayed on Fridays.)

We especially pray today for:

Those enduring public humiliation, slander, or rejection

Families carrying heavy burdens, financial hardship, and anxiety

Leaders and parents weighed down by responsibility

The sick suffering in body and mind — chronic pain, depression, fear

Souls who feel abandoned in their own “stable” of suffering

Anyone tempted to give up, lose hope, or walk away from faith

Through the intercession of St. Marcellus I, we ask for the grace to say with Jesus: “Not my will, but Yours be done.” When life places a crown of thorns on our thoughts, may the Holy Spirit calm our anxieties. When the cross feels too heavy, may the Lord raise us up again — and teach us that true victory is not worldly power, but the silent endurance of the Cross.
