We continue to build spiritual endurance through the rhythm of daily prayer. Meditating first on the carrying of the cross and the crucifixion and death of Jesus, we enter deeply into his suffering and sacrifice. Then, we transition into hope as we pray the first Glorious Mystery, the Resurrection of our Lord. This movement from sorrow to triumph invites us to reflect on both the cost of redemption and the promise of eternal life. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Carrying of the Cross, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection. We will be praying three decades of the Rosary.

As we begin praying three decades together, Fr. Mark-Mary shares insight on why we’re moving into a focus on prayer in this phase of the Rosary in a Year podcast. We’re encouraged to lean into our meditation archive, drawing on the depth of the mysteries we’ve been dwelling on. By strengthening our focus and attention, we grow in our ability to remain present in prayer.
Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Agony in the Garden, the Scourging at the Pillar, and the Crowning with Thorns. We will be praying three decades of the Rosary.

How do we recognize God’s voice in prayer? Fr. Mark-Mary teaches that the most certain way is through Scripture, where God’s word speaks clearly and consistently. As we regularly read and pray with the Bible, we become more familiar with His voice and more receptive to it in mental prayer. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Transfiguration and Institution of the Eucharist and we will be praying two decades of the Rosary.
