Praying with the Ascension, Descent of the Holy Spirit, Assumption of Mary, and Coronation of Mary, we lift our hearts to the triumph of Christ and the glory shared with His Mother. Together, these mysteries reveal the fullness of God’s saving plan: Christ exalted at the Father’s right hand, the Spirit poured out upon the Church, and Mary sharing already in the glory promised to all the faithful. They call us to live in hope, to walk in the Spirit, and to trust Mary’s intercession as she leads us closer to her Son. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Ascension, the Descent of the Holy Spirit, the Assumption of Mary, and the Coronation of Mary. We will be praying four decades of the Rosary.

Episode: Day 283: The Glorious Mysteries
Date: October 10, 2025
Host: Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR (with participation from fellow friars and potentially Fr. Mike Schmitz)
Podcast by: Ascension
Day 283 of The Rosary in a Year invites listeners to pray the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary together as a community. Guided by Fr. Mark-Mary (and possibly joined by Fr. Mike Schmitz and other friars), the episode is a meditative walk through the second to fifth Glorious Mysteries. Listeners are invited to experience the richness of the Rosary’s prayers, deepening their relationship with Jesus and Mary while reflecting on key moments from Scripture and Catholic tradition. This episode exemplifies the series’ goal: to help listeners form a daily habit and to “fall more in love with this powerful Marian devotion.”
The Ascension of Jesus (Second Glorious Mystery)
The Descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Third Glorious Mystery)
The Assumption of Mary (Fourth Glorious Mystery)
The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth (Fifth Glorious Mystery)
On the purpose of the Rosary:
“[The Rosary] brings us deeper into relationship with Jesus and Mary and becomes a source of grace for the whole world.” ([00:04], Introduction)
During prayer for sinners:
“O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy.”
(Repeated after each decade—e.g., [05:00], [09:09], [13:06], [17:12])
On community and spiritual journey:
“Thanks, everybody, for joining me and praying with me again today. I look forward to continuing this journey with you again tomorrow. Poco. Poco. Friends, God bless y’all.” ([17:23], Host’s closing)

This episode serves as a sacred invitation to journey through the Glorious Mysteries, meditating on Christ’s triumph and Mary’s special place within God’s plan. Through the pace, chanting, and familiar formula, listeners are drawn into a heartfelt space of prayer—encouraged to keep building their habit day by day, “falling more in love” with the Rosary, and drawing grace for the whole world. The episode is accessible for regular Rosary devotees and newcomers alike, offering stability, warmth, and spiritual encouragement.
