The Rosary in a Year (with Fr. Mark-Mary Ames) - Day 218: Walking With Mary

Episode Date: August 6, 2025

In this final episode of our series on relational prayer with the Rosary, we turn our hearts toward Our Lady, inviting her not only into our imagination but into the very moments of our day, whether in prayer, work, or rest. Fr. Mark-Mary encourages us to be with Mary wherever we are: beside us in the chapel, in the car, at the kitchen sink, or on a prayer walk. Let her love you, shelter you, and intercede for you. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Assumption and the Coronation of Mary, and we will be praying two decades of the Rosary. For the complete prayer plan, visit https://ascensionpress.com/riy.

Today we'll be praying with the fourth and the fifth glorious mysteries, the assumption of our lady and her coronation as queen of heaven and earth. So today is going to be the last of our episodes really specifically focusing on, practicing on being aware of either who we are praying to or who we are praying with.

And today we'll be praying with our lady. And as always, you're free to go and to pray and to be with her. However you desire, in the past, we've gone to the little house where St. John would have taken our lady and really experienced being there with her as a mother who we can show affection to, who we can love, but who also we can share our hearts with and who also wants to love us and speak to us and help us. today I'm going to the prompt I'm going to encourage is a little bit like what I encourage for praying with Mary the second time around of being open to and imagining

her being with you in your current time place setting so she can be with you in your favorite chapel where you go and pray and imagine her sitting or kneeling right next to you imagine her being with you as you drive in your car as your home doing laundry or cooking just know that she's there with you delighting in being there with you loving you attentive to you love her honor her share with her your heart your needs invite her to help you with whatever's going on ask her to shelter you to fight for you to cover you protect you especially during times of temptation or frustration. And now let's pray in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen. The fourth glorious mystery is the assumption. 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
