The Rosary in a Year (with Fr. Mark-Mary Ames)

Fr. Mark-Mary leads us in prayer with four of the Glorious Mysteries. We begin with the Ascension of Jesus, who returns to the Father and invites us to live with eyes fixed on eternity. We then reflect on the Descent of the Holy Spirit, the powerful moment when God’s Spirit is poured out upon the Church. Next, we celebrate the Assumption of Mary, rejoicing that she is taken body and soul into heaven as a sign of the promise that awaits us. Finally, we honor her Coronation as Queen of Heaven and earth, a reminder of her intercession and maternal care for us. Together, these mysteries invite us to live with faith, joy, and confidence in God’s saving plan. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Ascension, Descent of the Holy Spirit, Assumption, Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth. We will be praying four decades of the Rosary.

Today we journey through four powerful mysteries that reveal the depth of Christ’s love and the glory of his victory. We begin with the Crowning with Thorns, where Jesus endures mockery and pain with silent strength. We then follow him in the Carrying of the Cross, sharing in his burden and the weight of his sacrifice. At the Crucifixion, we stand before the Cross and contemplate the mercy poured out for our salvation. Finally, we rejoice in the Resurrection, when Christ conquers death and opens the way to eternal life. These mysteries remind us that from suffering comes redemption, and through the cross comes everlasting hope. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Crowning with Thorns, Carrying of the Cross, Crucifixion, and the Resurrection. We will be praying four decades of the Rosary.

Today we pray through four mysteries that reveal both the glory and the suffering of Christ. We begin with the Transfiguration, when Jesus is revealed in radiant glory before His disciples, strengthening their faith for what is to come. We then reflect on the Institution of the Eucharist, where He offers His Body and Blood as the everlasting sign of His love and presence. From there, we enter into the Agony in the Garden, joining Jesus in His deep prayer and surrender to the Father’s will. Finally, we meditate on the Scourging at the Pillar, recalling His courage, obedience, and unfathomable love even in the face of cruelty. Together, these mysteries draw us closer to the heart of Jesus, who unites divine majesty with humble sacrifice for our salvation. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Transfiguration, Institution of the Eucharist, Agony in the Garden, and Scourging at the Pillar. We will be praying four decades of the Rosary.
