The Rosary in a Year (with Fr. Mark-Mary Ames) - Day 248: The Joyful Mysteries

Episode Date: September 5, 2025

We continue to immerse ourselves in the Joyful Mysteries. Today, we meditate on the birth and early life of Jesus through three mysteries: the Nativity, the Presentation in the Temple, and the Finding of Jesus in the Temple. These mysteries draw us into the wonder of the Incarnation and the humble, hidden years of Christ’s life, while foreshadowing his Passion. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Nativity, the Presentation, and the Finding of Jesus in the Temple. We will be praying three decades of the Rosary.
