For today’s Rosary, Fr. Mark-Mary shares meditations on Vincente Masip’s Jesus in Gethsemane, the parallels between Christ and Isaiah’s prophecy of the Suffering Servant, Fulton Sheen’s reflection on Pilate’s choices, and more. We walk with Christ through his passion, journeying from the Garden to the Cross. Today's focus is the Sorrowful Mysteries, and we’ll be praying the full Rosary.
