Jesus, the eternal king, knows your name. Fr. Mark-Mary leads us in a meditation on the presence of Jesus to assist us in our prayer of the rosary, expressing the truth that the king of the universe personally knows and loves you. Today’s focus is “Jesus, King and center of all hearts” and we will be praying one Our Father, three Hail Marys, and one Glory Be.
