The Rosary in a Year (with Fr. Mark-Mary Ames) - Day 279: The Joyful Mysteries

Episode Date: October 6, 2025

Fr. Mark-Mary leads us through the first four Joyful Mysteries. As we pray through the Annunciation, Visitation, Nativity, and Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, the mystery of the Incarnation and God’s promises are fulfilled. These Joyful Mysteries reveal the humility of God made man, the faith and obedience of Mary, and the joy that Christ’s presence brings. They invite us to say “yes” to God’s will, to bring Christ to others, to welcome Him with open hearts, and to dedicate our lives to the Father in faith and love. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Nativity, and the Presentation in the Temple. We will be praying four decades of the Rosary.
