Full Episode
I'm Father Mark Mary Ames with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. My brothers and sisters, at the service of becoming saints and falling in love with Jesus and Mary and the Most Holy Rosary, the team here at Ascension Press have put together the Rosary in a Year podcast. Each day, we're going to have a 10 to 15 minute episode where we're just going to work through the basics of the Rosary.
Who is Jesus? How do we encounter Jesus? Who is Our Lady? What does it mean for us to be in relationship to her? We're going to go through the Hail Mary, the Our Father, each of the different mysteries. Then we're going to bring in some saint writings on the mysteries and some sacred art that speaks on the mysteries and all of this.
to help enrich our prayer, to renew our prayer, to help us fall in love with Jesus and Mary and to fall in love with the rosary again. If you want to join us in this journey, you can begin by going to ascensionpress.com forward slash rosary in a year to download the prayer plan and by listening and praying with us through the rosary in a year podcast.
All right, look forward to the journey with you.
We're also reading our final book of the Bible. Of course, Revelation is the last book. But the last new book we have, which is Hebrews chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4. We're also reading Proverbs chapter 31 verses 19 through 22. Today, as always, the Bible translation I'm reading from is the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension.

The letter to the Hebrews chapters one, two, three, and four and Proverbs chapter 31 verses 19 to 22. Revelation to John Chapter 12 The Woman and the Dragon And a great sign appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child, and she cried out in her pangs of birth in anguish for delivery.
And another sign appeared in heaven, behold, a red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns and seven diadems upon his head. His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bear a child that he might devour her child when she brought it forth.
She brought forth a male child, one who was to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. But her child was caught up to God and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness where she has a place prepared by God in which to be nourished for 1260 days. Michael defeats the dragon.
