Summary
Fr. Mark-Mary leads us in prayer with four of the Glorious Mysteries. We begin with the Ascension of Jesus, who returns to the Father and invites us to live with eyes fixed on eternity. We then reflect on the Descent of the Holy Spirit, the powerful moment when God’s Spirit is poured out upon the Church. Next, we celebrate the Assumption of Mary, rejoicing that she is taken body and soul into heaven as a sign of the promise that awaits us. Finally, we honor her Coronation as Queen of Heaven and earth, a reminder of her intercession and maternal care for us. Together, these mysteries invite us to live with faith, joy, and confidence in God’s saving plan. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Ascension, Descent of the Holy Spirit, Assumption, Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth. We will be praying four decades of the Rosary.
