Fr. Mark-Mary offers a reflection on the ordinary and hidden nature of the beginning of Jesus’ life. As we pray today, there is an eighteen year gap between the Finding in the Temple, and the Baptism of Jesus. We’re encouraged to ponder and pray with those hidden, quiet years of the holy family. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Finding in the Temple, the Baptism in the Jordan, the Wedding Feast at Cana, and the Proclamation of the Kingdom and Call to Conversion. We will be praying four decades of the Rosary.

Fr. Mark-Mary offers us a word of encouragement, reminding us to continue to draw our prior meditation topics into our prayer of the Rosary, grounding ourselves in true meditation from our mental archives. Beginning again with the Joyful mysteries, we walk through the beginning of Jesus’ life and the story of the holy family. The Joyful mysteries provide us a beautiful foundation of joy for our lives, teaching us how to journey through all of our mysteries, luminous, sorrowful, and joyful. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Ascension, the Descent of the Holy Spirit, the Assumption, and the Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth. We will be praying four decades of the Rosary.
