Day 223: Now and at Death

10m

Focusing on the final petition in the Hail Mary, Fr. Mark-Mary reminds us that we are pilgrims on a journey, accompanied by Mary who lovingly intercedes for our salvation. He encourages us to invoke the Holy Spirit and practice attentiveness to each word we pray. This habit of focused prayer helps root us more deeply in God’s presence. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Transfiguration and Institution of the Eucharist and we will be praying two decades of the Rosary.

Today we'll be praying with the fourth and the fifth luminous mysteries, the transfiguration, and the institution of the most holy Eucharist.

So this is day five of this focused time of prayer in which we're really practicing on developing the habit of praying with the words of the prayers.

So, as we're praying, the Hail Mary, we can pay attention to the final sort of request of Mary that she prays for us.

We're reminded that this world is passing,

that we're made for heaven, that on this journey, right, like Mary is a mother to us, and she is praying for us and advocating for us.

And on this journey, we have the best of advocates, and queens, and mothers praying for us, particularly for the salvation of our souls.

So, here we're going to continue with that today,

beginning by

just asking for the Holy Spirit, who again is the primary mover and animator of our prayer.

So, we can begin in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

The fourth luminous mystery is the Transfiguration:

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.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

now and at the hour of our death.

we take a deep breath,

invoke the power of the Holy Spirit,

become recollected again,

and we continue.
