Summary

We are invited to enter into prayer with a deep awareness of the Heavenly Father’s presence through Fr. Mark-Mary’s meditative reflection. Drawing from Jesus’ prayers before Lazarus’ tomb and His teachings in the Sermon on the Mount, Fr. Mark-Mary emphasizes that God sees, hears, and knows us intimately. This reflection reminds us of the Father’s love and His desire to give us every good gift. 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.
