Fr. Mike Schmitz
Today we'll be praying the glorious Mysteries.
Let us begin in the name of the Father and of the Son and.
Of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
I believe in God, the Father Almighty.
Creator of heaven and earth, and in.
Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who's conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended to hell. On the third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and a life everlasting. Amen. For our Holy Father's health and intentions. Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done.
On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us as and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen. For an increase in the theological virtues.
Of faith, hope and charity.

The first glorious mystery is the resurrection.
As we begin praying the glorious mysteries, go ahead and take a moment just to reflect again on what the resurrection truly is. It's not just Jesus returning to a life like before, but instead, Jesus has truly entered into a new, glorified reality. Jesus beyond death.
Host/Announcer
At the resurrection, we too are called.
Fr. Mike Schmitz
To share in this life beyond death, in heaven, with him. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done.
On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

The second glorious mystery is the Ascension. So as we pray the second glorious mystery, the Ascension.
Take a moment and see again with your imagination. Jesus uplifted hands from Luke, which reads, lifting up his hands, he blessed them. And notice that Jesus never lowers his hands. Jesus is not going away. Instead he's becoming even more present to us. His hands are never lowered.
The blessing never stops.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done.
On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but.
But deliver us from evil.
Amen.

The third glorious mystery is the descent.
Of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost.
What do you think the apostles were.
Feeling in the upper room before the Holy Spirit descended upon them? The apostles were surely apprehensive, waiting, perhaps in trepidation.
But yet they waited. And they prayed with hope and confidence.
And they were heard. You know, maybe you have something in your life where you're feeling anxious about it. Feeling some trepidation, apprehension during this decade?
Let's hand our fears to the Father.
Asking for the Spirit with confidence, just like the apostles. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done.
On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Let's return to Luke, chapter one, verses 46 to 56, which is Mary's magnificat.
God has regarded the lowly state of.
His handmaiden and all generations call her blessed. It's all true. Her entire magnificat is true. And if God's faithfulness was true for Mary, God's faithfulness will be true for us. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done.
On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

The fifth glorious mystery is the coronation of Mary's Queen of Heaven and Earth. And I want to return briefly to the fresco from day 188 that was.
Titled Mary Help of Christians.
Amidst rows of heavenly angel courses, Mary sits on a golden throne, crowned and holding a scepter.
Taking that thought for a moment, you.
Know, our Queen is crowned by God amongst the angels, and this is our home.
This is where we're headed. This joy and this beauty, it's where we're going.
Prayer Leader 2
And this is part of the promise.
Fr. Mike Schmitz

Our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes.
Of mercy towards us.
And after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O Clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us, most Holy Mother of.
God, that we may be made worthy.
Of the promises of Christ. Let us pray.
Host/Announcer
O God, whose only begotten Son, by.
Fr. Mike Schmitz
His life, death and resurrection, has purchased.
For us the rewards of eternal life.
Grant, we beseech Thee, that meditating upon these mysteries, the most holy rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen. In the name of the Father and.
Of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
All right.
Thanks, everyone, for joining me and praying with me today. I look forward to continuing this journey.
With you again tomorrow. Poco.
Poco. Friends, God bless you.
Episode: Day 337 – The Glorious Mysteries
Date: December 3, 2025
Host: Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR (with prayer leadership by additional friars)
Produced by: Ascension
This episode is dedicated to praying and meditating on the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary. Fr. Mark-Mary Ames (with occasional leading by other friars) offers biblical reflection and imaginative prayer to draw listeners deeper into relationship with Jesus and Mary through the history and hope found in these mysteries. As part of the “Rosary in a Year” journey, the episode encourages daily prayer habits and trust in God’s promises.
“At the resurrection, we too are called to share in this life beyond death, in heaven, with him.”
— Fr. Mark-Mary, 03:33
“Jesus never lowers his hands. Jesus is not going away. Instead he's becoming even more present to us. His hands are never lowered. The blessing never stops.”
— Fr. Mark-Mary, 07:27–07:50
“Maybe you have something in your life where you're feeling anxious about it. ... Let's hand our fears to the Father, asking for the Spirit with confidence, just like the apostles.”
— Fr. Mark-Mary, 11:55–12:09
Reflection centered on the Magnificat (Luke 1:46–56):
“God has regarded the lowly state of His handmaiden and all generations call her blessed. It's all true. Her entire Magnificat is true. And if God's faithfulness was true for Mary, God's faithfulness will be true for us.”
— Fr. Mark-Mary, 16:06–16:34
Emphasizes God’s faithfulness to Mary as evidence of His promises kept to all believers.
“Our Queen is crowned by God amongst the angels, and this is our home. This is where we're headed. This joy and this beauty, it's where we're going.”
— Fr. Mark-Mary, 20:28–20:37
“...a heavenly home awaits us where we will be united with our Lord and our Heavenly Mother.”
— Fr. Mark-Mary, 20:45–20:50
"Thanks, everyone, for joining me and praying with me today. I look forward to continuing this journey with you again tomorrow. Poco a poco. Friends, God bless you."
— Fr. Mark-Mary, 25:38–25:44
“It's not just Jesus returning to a life like before, but instead, Jesus has truly entered into a new, glorified reality. Jesus beyond death.”
— Fr. Mark-Mary, 03:09
“Jesus is not going away. Instead he's becoming even more present to us. His hands are never lowered. The blessing never stops.”
— Fr. Mark-Mary, 07:27–07:50
“Let's hand our fears to the Father, asking for the Spirit with confidence, just like the apostles.”
— Fr. Mark-Mary, 12:09
“If God's faithfulness was true for Mary, God's faithfulness will be true for us.”
— Fr. Mark-Mary, 16:34
"This is our home. This is where we're headed. This joy and this beauty, it's where we're going."
— Fr. Mark-Mary, 20:37
The tone is gentle, encouraging, and deeply reverent, blending clear scriptural meditation with warm pastoral guidance. Listeners are treated as companions on a journey, invited to imagination-led prayer and trust in God's fidelity.
This episode serves as both a guided prayer and a spiritual meditation, inviting listeners to experience the Glorious Mysteries in a transformative way. Through brief reflections and scriptural reference, Fr.
