Hi, I'm Father Mark Mary with Franciscan Friars of the renewal, and this is the Rosary in a Year podcast,

where through prayer and meditation, the rosary brings us deeper into relationship with Jesus and Mary

and becomes a source of grace for the whole world. The Rosary in the Year is brought to by Ascension.

This is Day 286.

The best place to listen to this podcast is in the Ascension app. There are special features built just for this podcast and also

recordings of the full rosary with myself and other friars. No matter what app you're listening

in, remember to tap follow or subscribe for your daily notifications. All right, so today we will be

concluding the luminous mysteries and then we will be beginning

the sorrowful mysteries.

But here we're making these connections.
