Who is leading today’s Rosary in a Year episode and how can I access the prayer plan?
I'm Fr. Mark Mary with Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and this is the Rosary in a Year podcast where through prayer and meditation, the rosary brings us deeper into relationship with Jesus and Mary and becomes a source of grace for the whole world. The Rosary in a Year is brought to you by Ascension. This is day 207. To download the prayer plan for Rosary in a Year, visit ascensionpress.com forward slash rosary in a year or text R-I-Y to 33777. You'll get an outline of how we're going to pray each month, and it's a great way to track your progress. The best place to listen to the podcast is in the Ascension app. There are special features built just for this podcast and also recordings of the full rosary with myself and other friars.
I encourage you to pick up a copy of the Rosary in a Year prayer guide, a book published by Ascension that was designed to complement this podcast. You'll find all the daily readings from scripture, saint reflections, and beautiful images of the sacred art we'll be reflecting on. Today we will be meditating upon and praying with the fourth glorious mystery, the Assumption. Now before and in preparation of our time of prayer today, let's review some of what we have already discussed and prayed with regarding Mary's Assumption. If you recall, we looked at Mary's Magnificat back in Luke chapter one, towards the end of the visitation. And we noted like the pattern of Mary's Magnificat. There is this praising God for what he has done in Mary's own life.
And then there's this praising, this blessing of God for that, which he will do for all of God's people. And Mary like experiences in herself, the promises of God, the faithfulness of God. Here, the assumption into heaven, like her going body and soul into heaven. And we see what Mary experiences as a precursor to what all of the church is going to be called to experience. And in Mary's assumption, We see that God keeps his promises. You could say like, we see that it's all true. Mary said, right? All generations will call me blessed. Is that true? Yes. God has regarded the lowest state of his handmaidens. Is that true? Yes. He who is mighty has done great things for me. Is that true? Yes. Holy is his name.
True. Yes. He has mercy on those who fear him. Yes. We see that everything that Mary praised God for and prophesied, it's all come true. And we see Elizabeth's words to Mary when they greet during the visitation, like, blessed is she who believed that there would be fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord. Like we see this is all true. And that which has been true for Mary is, will be true for us. And so those of us who wish to go where Mary has gone, those of us who wish to experience the fulfillment of God's promises in our lives, we're called to journey and to make this journey just like Mary did. And how does Mary make that journey? Like fiat by fiat, yes by yes. be it done unto me according to your word she follows she receives she believes she prays and god is faithful god keeps his promises so there's this invitation as we meditate upon the assumption
to receive the gift of hope and of confidence, that what Mary is experiencing, we ourselves are called to experience. And for the sake of today, namely, the complete and perfect fulfillment of the promises of God. And the second for you today, we'll pull from the episode where we had a quote from Bishop Fulton Sheen. Fulton Sheen, he wrote, Her mystical flight is the event to which our whole generation moves. Our age of carnalities, which loves the body beautiful, is lifted out of its despair by the assumption to honor a body that is beautiful because it is a temple of God. And Bishop Sheen pointed out, and it's easy for all of us to see sort of this emphasis on the preservation of the body, the fulfillment of the body.
There's just so much time and effort and money being put into like our physical form in modern world today. But as we noted, that is necessarily like a losing battle. Our body will decay, at least our physical youthfulness.
