Fr. Mark-Mary leads us in prayer with five decades of the Rosary, as we utilize the meditation "muscles" we've built up in each phase of the Rosary in a Year. You can find more resources for meditation on each of the mysteries, including Sacred Art, Saint Reflections, and Bible Verses under each episode in the Ascension App, to aid in your meditation. Today's focus is the Glorious Mysteries: the Resurrection, the Ascension, the Descent of the Holy Spirit, the Assumption, and the Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth.

We pray through a beautiful sequence that bridges the Glorious and Joyful Mysteries. Drawing upon our mental archive, we could return with the Assumption to the promise that “it’s all true,” as we dwell in Mary’s magnificat fulfilled in her assumption. Recalling Mary’s title, Queen of Angels, we see her crowned as Queen of the angelic host, ready to defend us, her children. Finally, as we return to the Annunciation, we remember that Mary is a human just like us, who made the choice to say yes to God’s plan. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Assumption, the Coronation of Mary, and the Annunciation. We will be praying three decades of the Rosary.

A Queen is set apart, but Mary, as Queen of Heaven and Earth is set apart so that as our mother she can draw us up to her son. When we are too little to reach the heights of holiness, she lifts us up, says Fr. Mark-Mary, reading from St. John Damascene. We ask Our Lady to help us echo her fiat and do the Father’s will. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Coronation of Mary and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary.
