The Rosary in a Year (with Fr. Mark-Mary Ames) - Day 365: The Glorious Mysteries

Episode Date: December 31, 2025

We conclude our Rosary in a Year journey with the Glorious Mysteries, thanking God for all of his gifts and blessings, both throughout Salvation history and our own lives. Fr. Mark-Mary shares his farewell message of thanks and emphasizes that while our 365 episodes of Rosary in a Year have come to an end, our journeys of prayer and drawing closer to God should continue on. We bring our “loaves and fish,” our prayer, commitment, and perseverance to Mary and Jesus today, confident that they will multiply our efforts. Today's focus is the Glorious Mysteries, and we’ll be praying the full Rosary. For the complete prayer plan, visit https://ascensionpress.com/riy.

And if you haven't already, please consider supporting us at ascensionpress.com forward slash support. well friends we have made it day 365 unprompted just saying it got a little emotional the old tear ducts one up a little bit but i'd like to take a moment here in this concluding episode of this rosary in the year journey that we've been on to essentially join my own Magnificat to Mary's. As we've looked at Mary's Magnificat, we noticed this movement of her giving thanks for all that God has done for her. And then in like celebrating what God is going

to do, all the good things God is going to do for all of us. And Mary does so without neglecting to notice her lowliness. But that of course her lowliness was not an obstacle to God's goodness and his generosity. And certainly, this rosary year journey has been for me very much an experience of being the little lad with its loaves and fish who gives him to Jesus. Keenly aware of all that I had were some ordinary lows and fish. But Jesus took it and multiplied it and did something beautiful with it. And this is a fulfillment for me of certainly a word that God spoke to my life when I was a young man first pursuing God's will. And it comes from Matthew chapter 19 versus 29 and following.

Essentially is this. Peter says, like, those of us who have given up everything to follow you, what can we expect? And this is a paraphrase, but Jesus basically says, if you've given up lands or brothers or sisters or mothers, like whatever you've given up from my name, you will receive a hundredfold and inherit eternal life. And the word the Lord spoke to me is never be afraid to give up anything to follow me because it's too good. because I'll never be outdone in generosity. Jesus promises to never be outdone in generosity. And this was true for Mary.

This was true for that little lad who gave up his loaves and fish and it fed thousands of people and there was baskets overflowing. And my brothers and sisters, nothing has been more true for my life. I only had some loaves and fish, but I gave everything. more through my consecration than through this podcast. And I risked everything on this promise of Jesus. And God has been faithful. And so I just conclude by giving thanks to Jesus,

who is revealed to us and to me in the most concrete and real parts of my life, that God is our father, that he is the best of fathers, that he is worthy of our trust and that he is never outdone in generosity. One expression of his generosity and his goodness is the gift of Mary, his own mother, to be our mother. What a gratuitous gift of God to give us Mary,

to accompany us, to care for us, to mother us on this journey. as God turns our own lives of prose into poetry and our ordinary yeses into a beautiful song of praise as we continue this pilgrimage of life learning to write with Mary to God our own magnificence and now we conclude praying not our last rosary, but our last rosary here in Day 365

as we prayed together the glorious mysteries. Let us begin in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen. I believe in God, the Father Almighty Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ is only Son our Lord who is conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate. was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to hell on the third day he rose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and in life everlasting, amen. for our Holy Father's health and intentions 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 and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil amen
