Fr. Mark-Mary Ames 0:43
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. All right, friends, welcome back to our journey of prayer here. So we are building up the decades today, continuing our practice of the habit of praying in relationship and being attentive to, and just practicing and experiencing these ways in which we can be in relationship with Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and come to them in unique, particular ways to the whole Trinity. Today, we're gonna practice praying while in relationship with Mary.
Fr. Mark-Mary Ames 1:30
And to be honest, like this is one of the most kind of graced takeaways already of my rosary in a year journey is kind of going back to that first week and just really having an experience of being like in St. John's house and being there with Mary and relating to her as I think St. John would have. with love and affection, with compliments, with my acts of service and honor towards her. But at the same time, just being able to sit at the table with her and receive her love to share and to kind of speak freely and to ramble on if I want to, knowing that she loves just hearing everything that I say and share, but that she's not just like a passive receiver, listener, like she is mother and queen and able to respond through God's grace kind of perfectly to whatever I need.
Fr. Mark-Mary Ames 2:31
She's not a statue. She's a mother who has agency and ability and a role to be a compassionate and helpful mother, to love me, to fight for me, to encourage me, to comfort me, to coach me. And so what I invite you to do is just to, if you can yourself, find a seat at the table with Mary.

How can I download the Rosary in a Year prayer plan and track my progress?

Fr. Mark-Mary Ames 2:55
Certainly you're free to choose your space. For me, I kind of have an image of what that house would have looked like with kind of a simple floor and wood table and exposed stone. And now just as you sit here with Mary, notice how much you love her and want to love her. And notice how much she loves you. and wants to love you. So with whatever comes to your heart, if it is just love and affection, honor, we can remain there if you want to share something with her. Feel free to do that if you need to entrust something to her.
Fr. Mark-Mary Ames 3:54
but grateful for the reality of this relationship and how we can access it through the power of the Holy Spirit. Let us pray. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Why is the Ascension app and Prayer Guide recommended for this podcast series?

The fourth luminous mystery is the Transfiguration. 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. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
