Summary

Contemplate Elizabeth’s joyful greeting: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” Fr. Mark-Mary leads us with prayerful attentiveness to recognize the sacred wonder of Christ’s presence and mission revealed through Mary, His bearer. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we are invited to enter more deeply into the words of prayer, allowing them to shape our hearts in gratitude and ongoing conversion. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Wedding Feast at Cana and Proclamation of the Kingdom and Call to Conversion and we will be praying two decades of the Rosary.
