Fr. Mark-Mary enriches our time of prayer by inviting us to practice intercessory prayer, where we can bring before the Lord all that weighs on our hearts and minds. He invites us to imagine offering our intentions to God the Father, trusting that He sees, receives, and responds with love. With confidence in His goodness and power, let us entrust every intention to Him. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Agony in the Garden and the Scourging at the Pillar and we will be praying two decades of the Rosary.
