In this final episode of our series on relational prayer with the Rosary, we turn our hearts toward Our Lady, inviting her not only into our imagination but into the very moments of our day, whether in prayer, work, or rest. Fr. Mark-Mary encourages us to be with Mary wherever we are: beside us in the chapel, in the car, at the kitchen sink, or on a prayer walk. Let her love you, shelter you, and intercede for you. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Assumption and the Coronation of Mary, and we will be praying two decades of the Rosary.

How should we venerate Mary as the Queen of Heaven, and what does being Queen of Heaven mean? Fr. Mark-Mary explains that far from detracting from our worship of God, giving due veneration to Mary actually honors Jesus, her son and our Lord. In turn, Mary has a special role as our mother and queen, and can specially intercede for us to Jesus. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Coronation of Mary, and we will be praying one Our Father, three Hail Marys, and one Glory Be.
