We return to the Sorrowful Mysteries, and Fr. Mark-Mary shares meditations on the relationship between the Garden of Gethsemane and the Garden of Eden, reminding us of the relationship between sin and the Sorrowful Mysteries. As we witness Jesus crowned with thorns and carrying the cross, we’re also reminded of the glory that can be found in Christ’s passion. Today's focus is the Sorrowful Mysteries, and we’ll be praying the full Rosary. For the complete prayer plan, visit https://ascensionpress.com/riy.

Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who is conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended to hell.

Friar 2
The first sorrowful mystery is the agony in the garden.
The agony in the garden might remind us of another significant biblical context and moment in a garden. Right. The Garden of Eden. And of course, this isn't a coincidence.
Hail Mary Speaker 1
Here.
Friar 2
Through obedience to the Father in the Garden of Gethsemane, in the mystery of Jesus, agony in the garden Jesus will repair, will redeem the damage caused by Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden.
We can meditate here on the perfect obedience of Jesus, which restores our relationship with God.

Friar 1
Amen.
Lead Friar / Host
Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy.
Friar 2
The second sorrowful mystery is the scourging at the pillar.
Sin destroys and wounds our souls, but sometimes we don't fully see or recognize its effects. In the mystery of the scourging at the pillar, the reality of sin is revealed to us. We see Jesus beat and bent over in suffering, and this is the reality.
Prayer Leader 2
This is.
Friar 2
This is what sin does to our soul and ultimately to the world.
As we pray this decade, let us pray for God's mercy and forgiveness.
And unite any sufferings that we may currently be experiencing with that of our Lord.
Lead Friar / Host
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Friar 1
Amen.
Lead Friar / Host
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy.
Friar 2
The third sorrowful mystery is the crowning with thorns.
As we pray with the mystery of Jesus being crowned with thorns, we see again the effects of sin on the world, but also the truth that Jesus is conquering death.
The Roman soldiers who are mocking and crowning Jesus with the crown of thorns are unknowingly also revealing him as the victorious king.
Even here, even in this moment in salvation history, he is king and he is conquering.
Lead Friar / Host
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be Done on earth as it is in heaven.
Prayer Leader 2
Give us this day our daily bread.
Friar 2
And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Friar 2
The fourth sorrowful mystery is the carrying of the cross.
The carrying of the cross and having a condemned man carry a cross was meant to be a dishonor. But as we previously discussed, St. Thomas Aquinas says that Jesus carried his cross as a sign of his glory, as.
Lead Friar / Host
A champion or a victor carries his trophy.
Friar 2
In freely accepting the cross, Jesus has changed what is dishonorable and terrible into something victorious.
And because Jesus has done this, we can do the same with our own sufferings in him.
We can recognize that they are unjust.
Prayer Leader 2
That they are evil, that they are bad.
Lead Friar / Host
But with Christ, receive them, embrace them.
Friar 2
And carry them with Jesus.
And he will transform our crosses into instruments of victory and grace.
Lead Friar / Host
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Prayer Leader 2
Give us this day our daily bread.
Friar 2
And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead Friar / Host
And lead us not into temptation, but.

Prayer Leader 1
Amen.
Lead Friar / Host
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy.
Friar 2
The fifth sorrowful mystery is the crucifixion.
Through sin, we are separated from God.
However, Jesus didn't wait at a distance for us to return to Him. He pursued us even to death on a cross. Jesus, right, reveals to us the pursuit of the Father for us. God enters into our situations. He comes to us and restores us back to life.
As we conclude our rosary, let us fix our eyes on Christ crucified. Let us fix our eyes.
On Jesus love.
Lead Friar / Host
Let us fix our eyes on our.
Friar 2
Heavenly Father's love revealed in Christ crucified.
A love that pursues us unto death.
Hail Mary Speaker 2
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Lead Friar / Host
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done.
Prayer Leader 1
On earth as it is in heaven.

"Through obedience to the Father in the Garden of Gethsemane ... Jesus will repair, will redeem the damage caused by Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden."
— Fr. Mark-Mary (03:38)
"Sin destroys and wounds our souls, but sometimes we don't fully see or recognize its effects. In the mystery of the scourging ... the reality of sin is revealed to us."
— Fr. Mark-Mary (07:51)
"The Roman soldiers who are mocking and crowning Jesus ... are unknowingly also revealing him as the victorious king. Even here ... he is king and he is conquering."
— Fr. Mark-Mary (12:28, 12:40)
"St. Thomas Aquinas says that Jesus carried his cross as a sign of his glory, as a champion or a victor carries his trophy."
— Fr. Mark-Mary (16:51)
"Jesus ... reveals to us the pursuit of the Father for us. God enters into our situations. He comes to us and restores us back to life."
— Fr. Mark-Mary (21:28-21:47)
"Let us fix our eyes on our Heavenly Father's love revealed in Christ crucified. A love that pursues us unto death."
— Fr. Mark-Mary (22:01-22:06)
