Saint of the Day – Saint Casimir of Poland – March 4
The Rosary in a Year -Day 63 – Even Unto Death
Just as the father in the parable of the prodigal son does not merely wait to welcome his son back, but pursues to meet him on the way, Fr. Mark-Mary explains that God does not wait for us to return to him but instead pursues us, even to death on the cross. At Calvary, in the Crucifixion, we see the true nature of the heart of God, a heart filled with love for us. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Crucifixion and Death of Our Lord and we will be praying one Our Father, three Hail Marys, and one Glory Be.

Be the One
God Is in the Details of Your Life

So often
we find ourself weighed low
beneath the details of life.
We wonder if we are
making the right decision about this
or if we are doing what is best
in handling that.
We think,
and we fret,
and we worry,
and we wonder . . .
and in doing so,
we often forget that
God is in the details.
He who designed water from a lake
to evaporate to the sky
only to return as rain to water the earth
is here working in the details of your life, too,
causing one action
to prepare the way for the next,
one step at a time,
all in His perfect timing and perfect way.
He who breathed the stars into being
and then orchestrated their orbit,
along with that of the sun and moon
and a million other celestial wonders,
is here orchestrating every single detail
of that which concerns you, too –
delicately considering all involved
and intertwining it all in heavenly fashion.
He who designed the metamorphosis
of a lowly caterpillar into a glorious butterfly
is here, too,
in the details of all
that is changing around you, –
gently,
miraculously,
amazingly,
creating something new,
that no doubt
will be unlike anything you’ve known before,
but beautiful in its own way.
Trust Him.
God is in the details.~

Saint of the Day – Saint Katharine Drexel – March 3
The Rosary in a Year – Day 62 – He Meets Us
In the parable of the Prodigal Son, the father does not wait for his son to come back home, but instead descends to meet him on the way. In the mystery of the Carrying of the Cross, God our Father does not leave us to an isolated journey to death, says Fr. Mark-Mary, but instead as Jesus is ascending the mountain with the cross, God is descending to save us and bring new life. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Carrying of the Cross and we will be praying one Our Father, three Hail Marys, and one Glory Be.

The Rosary in a Year – Day 61 – You Are Beloved
When the devil attacks, he tries to mock us and deny our dignity. Fr. Mark-Mary continues the journey of reflecting on the passion of our Lord as it reveals the true nature of sin, revealing how meditating on the Crowning with Thorns can help us reject Satan’s lies and remember our dignity as beloved sons and daughters. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Crowning with Thorns and we will be praying one Our Father, three Hail Marys, and one Glory Be.
