I've come across some folks who have the deepest of father ones.

They couldn't address God as father, but they could talk to Our Lady.

And I think that is a mercy of God. Rosary in a Year. This podcast hit top of the charts. It's a little bit vulnerable on my end. I'll say this. Like, actually, the success of the Rosary in the Year podcast was quite isolating. What's the origin of the rosary? Because it's not like Jesus can't at all. His 12 disciples are rosary.

So my full religious name is Mark Mary Maximilian, so three M's, um, which is, which is kind of cool. And we can kind of touch on that for a second. Just, um, kind of do a lot of media work in St. Maximilian Colby is like the patron saint of that. And I had no idea of, I had no plan on doing any media work. I had no, that wasn't part of it. Really? So it just felt kind of like a little providential thing. But I am baptized Mark.

So I'm baptized Mark Daniel.

And wasn't part of it. Really? So it just felt kind of like a little providential thing. But I am baptized Mark. So I'm

baptized Mark Daniel. And we have a tradition when we become friars of taking a name and you

kind of pray about it. And long story short is I just felt like God really used our ladings
