Rogation Litanies (25 April): Persevere in Prayer... Keep Knocking

About this sermon

On this Feast of Saint Mark the Evangelist (April 25), we enter into the powerful tradition of Rogation Day, a time when the Church calls us to pray with persistence, humility, and faith. In this homily, we reflect on the meaning of “Rogate” — Ask, and the importance of never giving up in prayer. Through the Gospel story of the persistent friend knocking at midnight, we are reminded that God desires our perseverance—not because He is unwilling, but because He wants to strengthen our faith. 🙏 The Litany of the Saints unites us with the entire Church—both on earth and in Heaven. When we pray, we do not pray alone. The saints intercede for us as we seek God’s grace. 💡 Key takeaway: Perseverance in prayer is already a grace—and the path to eternal salvation. ⛪ Topics Covered: Feast of Saint Mark the Evangelist Rogation Day meaning and tradition The power of persistent prayer The Litany of the Saints explained Why God wants us to keep asking Catholic teaching on perseverance in faith 🙏 Support Pro-Life Real Estate: If you're buying or selling a home and want to support pro-life causes, visit: 👉 https://realestateforlife.org 📖 Scripture Reference: Luke 11:5–13 (The Persistent Friend) 00:00 Pro-Life Real Estate Message 00:15 Introduction & Feast of St. Mark 00:30 What is Rogation Day? 00:49 Litany of the Saints Explained 01:11 Meaning of “Rogate” (Ask) 01:37 Unity with the Saints in Heaven 02:22 Gospel Theme: Persistence in Prayer 02:41 The Story of the Midnight Visitor 03:30 Why the Man Refused at First 03:45 Persistence Wins the Request 04:08 What This Means for Our Prayer Life 04:40 God Desires to Answer Us 05:06 The Role of Faith & Perseverance 05:28 Grace of Persevering Until the End 05:53 Final Exhortation to Pray Daily For more please visit https://www.themarianfranciscans.org/ Please sign up at this link https://lifecrusade.org/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
