I can't wait for all the knowledge and growth RiY is going to bring me.

Like Fa Mark-Mary said in the intro many of us have been taught TO pray the Rosary but not HOW to pray the Rosary. I am so excited for everything that this podcast is going bring to me and to so many this year.

Renewed Excitement

I pray the Rosary everyday; but am I really praying properly. I am sincerely hoping that I will gain a new appreciation for saying the Rosary daily and praying it in a way that will be pleasing to Mother Mary & the Holy Trinity.

Taking the time to remember my “why”

I have been doing a rosary daily for over two years. It has been a source of peace during some very trying times. And searching and wishing to go deeper in my relationship with God, and with a blessed mother, I look forward to joining the rosary in a year. What I didn’t expect was to be so moved. Brother Mark Mary Has made this feel like I’m going on a mini retreat every evening. His voice is calm and soothing. Yet I don’t start to drift off as can happen when I listen to audio books podcast. Needless to say, I look forward to listening every evening and meditating on what I am listening to, and it would help me deepen my relationship with God through the blessed mother . Poco a poco – one step at a time.

So much more than expected!

This podcast is so much more than I expected! It's not just about the rosary, it's really about how to pray in general. For so many believers like myself, actually learning how to pray is so important as it's something that many of us never really learned outside of vocal prayer.
