Fr. Mark-Mary leads us in prayer with five decades of the Rosary, as we utilize the meditation "muscles" we've built up in each phase of the Rosary in a Year. You can find more resources for meditation on each of the mysteries, including Sacred Art, Saint Reflections, and Bible Verses under each episode in the Ascension App, to aid in your meditation. Today's focus is the Glorious Mysteries: the Resurrection, the Ascension, the Descent of the Holy Spirit, the Assumption, and the Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth.

Podcast: The Rosary in a Year
Host: Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR (with possible contributions by other friars)
Date: November 11, 2025
Episode Theme: Praying the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary
This episode of "The Rosary in a Year" guides listeners through the prayerful recitation and meditation on the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary. Fr. Mark-Mary Ames leads the prayers, emphasizing the power of Marian devotion to deepen the relationship with Jesus and Mary and become a source of grace for the world. The episode is structured as a contemplative journey through each mystery, fostering a rhythm for daily prayer and a lived connection to the central events of the Christian faith.
"Prayer and meditation, the Rosary brings us deeper into relationship with Jesus and Mary and becomes a source of grace for the whole world." (Fr. Mark-Mary, 00:08)
Each mystery is introduced, followed by the recitation of a decade of the Rosary:
“Thanks everybody for joining me and praying with me again today. I look forward to continuing this journey with you again tomorrow. Poco a poco, friends, God bless you.” (Fr. Mark-Mary, 19:47)
On the purpose of the Rosary:
"Prayer and meditation, the Rosary brings us deeper into relationship with Jesus and Mary and becomes a source of grace for the whole world." (Fr. Mark-Mary, 00:08)
On the importance of consistency in prayer:
“I look forward to continuing this journey with you again tomorrow. Poco a poco, friends, God bless you.” (Fr. Mark-Mary, 19:47)
On seeking Mary’s intercession throughout (recurring line after every Hail Mary):
“Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.”
Mercy for all souls (conclusion of each decade):
“Oh, 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.” (e.g., 04:37, 08:20, 12:07, 15:50, 19:35)
This episode is wholly dedicated to prayerful immersion in the heart of the Glorious Mysteries, guiding listeners step-by-step through each one while fostering a quiet, contemplative spirit. Fr. Mark-Mary’s gentle tone and encouragement make the Rosary accessible, inviting all to embrace it as a daily practice of drawing closer to Jesus and Mary.
Listeners are reminded that praying the Rosary is not simply reciting words but is an act of meditative love that invokes grace for oneself and the world. The episode ends on a note of encouragement, inviting continued participation and slow, steady spiritual growth.
