    Day 177: Earthen Vessels
    Jun 26 2025
    Fr. Mark-Mary introduces us to the spiritual background of icons as we pray with an icon of the Transfiguration. We consider how our transformation in Christ takes a lifetime, revealed through Peter’s journey from the mountain, through shadows and valleys, and back to Jesus’ mercy and love. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Transfiguration and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary. All of the Sacred Art we’ll be meditating with can be found in the Rosary in a Year Prayer Guide, for free linked in the complete prayer plan, or in the Ascension App. For the complete prayer plan, visit https://ascensionpress.com/riy.

  • Day 176: Jesus is in the Boat

    Day 176: Jesus is in the Boat
    Jun 25 2025
    Mark chapter 5 doesn’t shrink back from the danger of the storm. The apostles’ boat is filling with water and they are in immediate danger. Rembrandt’s painting,  Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee, shows us how real this threat is. And yet, Jesus’ response is to urge the apostles to have faith in him. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Proclamation of the Gospel and Call to Conversion and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary. All of the Sacred Art we’ll be meditating with can be found in the Rosary in a Year Prayer Guide, for free linked in the complete prayer plan, or in the Ascension App. For the complete prayer plan, visit https://ascensionpress.com/riy.

Like Fa Mark-Mary said in the intro many of us have been taught TO pray the Rosary but not HOW to pray the Rosary. I am so excited for everything that this podcast is going bring to me and to so many this year.

I can't wait for all the knowledge and growth RiY is going to bring me.

I pray the Rosary everyday; but am I really praying properly. I am sincerely hoping that I will gain a new appreciation for saying the Rosary daily and praying it in a way that will be pleasing to Mother Mary & the Holy Trinity.

Renewed Excitement

I have been doing a rosary daily for over two years. It has been a source of peace during some very trying times. And searching and wishing to go deeper in my relationship with God, and with a blessed mother, I look forward to joining the rosary in a year. What I didn’t expect was to be so moved. Brother Mark Mary Has made this feel like I’m going on a mini retreat every evening. His voice is calm and soothing. Yet I don’t start to drift off as can happen when I listen to audio books podcast. Needless to say, I look forward to listening every evening and meditating on what I am listening to, and it would help me deepen my relationship with God through the blessed mother . Poco a poco – one step at a time. 

Taking the time to remember my “why”

This podcast is so much more than I expected! It's not just about the rosary, it's really about how to pray in general. For so many believers like myself, actually learning how to pray is so important as it's something that many of us never really learned outside of vocal prayer.

So much more than expected!
