About this episode

Fr. Mark-Mary shares insights on prayer and meditation as the podcast focuses on the Sorrowful Mysteries 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.
