The Rosary in a Year (with Fr. Mark-Mary Ames) - Day 291: The Luminous and Sorrowful Mysteries

Episode Date: October 18, 2025

We trace the path from Christ’s divinity revealed to His willing surrender as we pray with the final Luminous Mysteries and move into the Sorrowful Mysteries. In the Transfiguration, we glimpse His heavenly majesty. In the Eucharist, we receive His eternal gift of love. In the Garden, we witness His prayerful obedience. At the pillar, we see His patient endurance. Through these mysteries, we learn to trust God’s will, to find strength in suffering, and to walk with Christ in faith and love. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Transfiguration, the Institution of the Eucharist, the Agony in the Garden, and the Scourging at the Pillar. We will be praying four decades of the Rosary.
