Together with Fr. Mark-Mary, we meditate on the Glorious Mysteries, drawing inspiration from St. Augustine and Mother Teresa. We contemplate the triumph of Christ and the joy of Heaven, reflect on what it means to hold fast to Jesus through charity, and give thanks for the “new wine” of the Holy Spirit poured into our hearts. We’re also reminded of Mary’s powerful and tender care as Queen who watches over her children. Today’s focus is the Glorious Mysteries, and we’ll be praying the full Rosary.

How do you celebrate Easter? Fr. Mark-Mary provides listeners with a challenge, reminiscing on the moment he realized just how important Easter is, and how much hope the truth that Christ is Risen can give us. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Resurrection and we will be praying one Our Father, three Hail Marys, and one Glory Be.
