The Rosary in a Year – Day 102 – Carried with Love
On the day of the crucifixion, three crosses were carried. Yet, there’s only one cross that we honor, only one cross that is featured as a mystery of the Rosary. Fr. Mark-Mary reads from St. Josemaría Escrivá, meditating on how Jesus’ cross was carried freely with love, making it the throne of the King of love. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Carrying of the Cross and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary.

Gratitude Doesn’t Change What We See
His Word is a Lamp at Our Feet
Gracious Heavenly Father,
As I pour out my heart before You,
I don’t even know where to begin
or how all of this is going to end.
(My child, I am the Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the end.
I’ve got this and I’ve got you.)
The voice of the world,
the cry of my heart,
and Your still, small voice –
all intertwined together,
a muffled, muting combination.
How can I hear You, Lord?
How can I find You in all of this, Father God?
(My child, My word is a lamp
for your feet and a light for your path.
My Spirit will lead you into all truth.
I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life.
Ask, and you will receive.
Seek, and you will find.
Knock, and the door will be opened to you.
I am here,
in the midst of all the confusion,
and you will find Me
when you search for Me
with all of your heart.)
Oh, Father God.
I am weary of the battle,
weary of the fight.
I long for peace,
calm assurance, unending strength.
(My child, My peace I give to you.
Not as the world gives peace,
for My peace passes all understanding.
I am not the author of confusion,
I am Truth.
Truth you can stake
your very life on.
Rest in My faithfulness,
walk in My strength.)
Your will, Abba Father.
This is want I desire most.
Your plan, loving Lord.
This is where I want to be.
Your obedient child, Heavenly Father.
This is who I want to be.
(My child, I know the desires of your heart.
If you will but delight yourself in Me,
I will grant them all.
I love you, My child.
I always have and I always will.
I AM here. Be at peace.)
Thank you, Father God.
In Jesus’ precious name,
I pray. Amen.~

Everyone Has a Story
Everyone has a story.
Everyone needs a Savior.
So often we allow
the enemy of our soul
to convince us that
everyone else
has it “all together”
and we are the only ones
who don’t.
We are ALL sinners in need of a Savior.
We are ALL sinners in need of grace.
We are ALL sinners in need – period.
Remember:
We aren’t called
to be like other Christians;
we are called
to be like Christ.
Don’t look to others.
Look to God.
Praise God
we have a Savior!

The Rosary in a Year – Day 101 – Glory and Indignity
Instead of a crown of glory, they imposed on him a crown of indignity, St. Thomas Aquinas writes of the Crowning with Thorns. Fr. Mark-Mary recalls a learning experience on a trip to Nebraska, explaining the true nature of indignity, and relating it to Jesus’ experience during his passion. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Crowning with Thorns and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary.
