So glad I found Fr. Mark’s daily rosary prayer. It’s my daily go to. Every morning as I get ready I pray with Fr. Mark. Love his daily reflections.

I took as a resolution to grow closer to Jesus. I struggled through my relationship with Mary but I open myself to this podcast. I have seen prayers answered, I have felt peace and now look for this part of my life. There is no judgment and if I need a reset, I know I can come back to this podcast. Highly recommend it. Thank you!

All I can say is Thank you Ascension and Fr. Mark-Mary Ames for producing this podcast. My mother used to say a daily rosary for as long has she could but sadly I did not follow her example . . . until now. The images of the Sacred Art are especially helpful to me.
Wren Whisperer · Jan 2026
I’m incredibly grateful for the Rosary in a Year podcast. The different phases throughout the year have led me to have a deeper understanding, appreciation for the rosary. The art and meditation on the different mysteries of the rosary changed my outlook and made the rosary come to life as never before. Most recently, the last phase has been my favorite praying the full rosary with incredible meditation and reflection. Specifically, the meditation about Christ’s crucifixion beholding Mary, as our mother, and having her behold me, as her son. Thank you Father for sharing your love and devotion to Our Lady. I will miss praying with you , but will keep praying for you.
