The Rosary in a Year (with Fr. Mark-Mary Ames) - Day 299: The Joyful Mysteries

Episode Date: October 26, 2025

Today we pray through four Joyful Mysteries that draw us into the beauty of God’s plan unfolding through Mary and the early life of Jesus. We begin with the Annunciation, when Mary humbly accepts God’s call to bear His Son. We then move to the Visitation, reflecting on her loving service to Elizabeth and the joy that fills their encounter. Next, we celebrate the Nativity, rejoicing in the birth of Christ, the Light of the world. Finally, we meditate on the Presentation in the Temple, where Mary and Joseph offer Jesus to the Father, fulfilling the law with faith and devotion. These mysteries invite us to enter into Mary’s trust, her obedience, and the deep joy that comes from saying yes to God. 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.
