I'm Father Mark Mary with Franciscan friars of Renewal, and this is the Rosary in a Year podcast.

We're 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 a Year is brought to you by Ascension.

This is Day 318. To download the prayer plan for Rosary in a Year, visit ascensionpress.com forward slash rosary in a year or text R-I-Y to 33-777-7. You'll get an outline of how we're going to pray each month and it's a great way to track your progress. The best place to listen to the podcast is in the Ascension app. There's special

features built just for this podcast and also recording to the full Rosary with myself and other

friars. I encourage you to pick up a copy of the Rosary in the Year prayer guide, a book published

by Ascension that was designed to compliment this podcast. You'll find all the daily readings

for scripture, saint reflections, and beautiful images of the sacred art will be

reflecting on. Today we will be praying the sorrowful mysteries. Let's begin in the name of the

Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The first sorrowful mystery is the agony in the

garden. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil, amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God.

Pray for us, sinners.

Now and at the hour of our death, amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace.
