The New Man is the center around the New Creation. In the Old Creation that God Made Man was the Center of it. In the New it is the same. However, this is a NEW MAN. This man comes out of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. The work that forms this man is Christ Himself. The fullness of this man is Christ Himself. Jesus Christ has brough forth of Himself One New Man! Glory Be to God! Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

Petitionary prayer, meditation, contemplation, the Our Father, and the Hail Mary, the Glory Be. The Rosary has it all. If we stay with it and practice praying the Rosary, the different elements of it come together and gradually we realize that this prayer has the power to dispose our hearts, and the eyes of our hearts can then begin to look at the Lord with more love and affection, and the truth of what he has done for us in each one of the mysteries of his life can really leap forth for us.Follow us on: Instagram: @contemplatapodcast Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/DominicanFriarsMedia Support: If you want to support this podcast, please visit dominicanfriars.org/contemplata
Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!Today's Lenten meditation invites us into the profound mystery of divine indwelling—God's continuous presence in the soul of every baptized Christian in a state of grace.Drawing from John 8:29, we explore Christ's promise that just as the Father never left him alone, he never leaves us orphaned. This isn't merely poetic language but a spiritual reality that transforms our understanding of ourselves. As St. Peter teaches, through baptism, we become "partakers of the divine nature," genuine children of God through adoption that goes far deeper than legal terminology.Elizabeth of the Trinity captures this beautifully: "It seems to me that I have found my heaven on earth since heaven is God and God is in my soul." Meanwhile, St. Teresa of Avila describes our soul as "a palace of priceless worth, built entirely of gold and precious stones." These mystical insights remind us that we carry within us a sacred sanctuary where God continually abides.The meditation offers practical ways to honor and recognize this divine presence: saying the Glory Be throughout the day, speaking God's name with reverence, and quickly rejecting thoughts that would taint the soul. As we celebrate the feast days of St. Patrick and anticipate St. Joseph's feast, we're reminded how these saints lived from this awareness of God's indwelling presence. How might your life change if you truly believed God was always with you, not just metaphorically but actually dwelling within your soul? Take a moment today to pause, make the sign of the cross, and acknowledge the divine presence that makes its home in you.Support the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

In this episode, we welcome Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR to talk about his podcast Rosary in a Year. He shares the inspiration behind his podcast and the importance of meditating on and understanding the mysteries of our faith. We also reflect on prayer being something received not produced, how the Rosary specifically answers the cry of our hearts to learn how to pray, and how Mary intercedes for us within this prayer. Our desire is that Fr. Mark-Mary's podcast will be an aid as you take the next step deeper in your prayer life.

What do you desire for your relationship with Our Blessed Mother? How can I enter more fully into the Rosary during this Jubilee Year of Hope?

The Liturgical Year will soon be coming to a close but there are still a few great feasts to remember! **Celebrating Hallowtide** The Liturgical Year is soon coming to an end, but like the mythical phoenix, it will rise anew with the season of Advent. Before the Church reaches this climactic conclusion with the Gospel account of the end of the world and the General Judgment, it celebrates one of the most sacred parts of the fall season—Hallowtide. Hallowtide refers to the triduum of All-Hallows Eve, All Saints' Day, and All Souls' Day. Even though Pope Pius XII suppressed the vigil of All Saints in the 1950s, we can still observe this day as a time of spiritual preparation, thereby preserving the essence of Hallowtide. This celebration and commemoration embody the dogma of the Communion of Saints, an article of our faith explicitly stated in the Apostles' Creed: “I believe… in the Communion of Saints.” **All-Hallows Eve Program (Evening)** 1. Renew the Baptismal Vows (the promises made to God at Baptism, located in the Missal at the end of the Holy Saturday services). 2. Pray a Rosary (dedicate this Rosary to the entire Communion of Saints). 3. Sing “O Come, Holy Ghost” (praying to the Holy Ghost to grant us the grace to become saints). **All Saints' Day Program (Anytime during the day)** 1. Attend Mass (if possible). 2. Pray a Rosary (in honor of all the Saints and Angels). 3. Read from the “Lives of the Saints.” A family may choose their patron saint for the year and read about his or her life. If this is your first year doing this devotion, consider starting with St. Joseph, the Spouse of the Blessed Virgin, since every family should have a devotion to this great saint. Afterwards, sing “Holy God, We Praise Thy Name.” **All Souls' Day Program (Anytime during the day)** 1. Attend Mass (if possible, and perform the devotion described in the “Announcements and Reminders” section). 2. Prepare your Poor Souls list a few days in advance so the priest can place it on the altar during Mass, as is customary. 3. Pray a Rosary (for the faithfully departed). 4. Visit a cemetery (if possible; at a Catholic cemetery, you can choose anyone and pray for their soul. You may pray an Our Father, a Hail Mary, and a Glory Be. Follow those prayers with: “Eternal rest grant unto (him, her, them) O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. May the souls of the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.”) **Suggestions:** One way that a family or individual can make the most of this holy time is by preparing meals that align with the nature of the feast. While the Church does not mandate fasting and abstaining on All-Hallows Eve or All Souls' Day, choosing to do so can enhance our appreciation for the importance of preparation and prayer. Traditionally, beans or lentils are served on All Souls' Day. Additionally, on the Feast of All Saints, consider preparing a special meal to reflect the celebratory nature of the feast.

Jesus gave us the prayer we often call "the Our Father". But where do the other prayers of the Holy Rosary come from, like the Hail Mary? The Glory Be?

Mike breaks down the historical origins of the rosary as well as the logic that the saints who went before us used to organize the rosary as we know it today.

The rosary itself is composed of 60 beads threaded together with a crucifix, and often a pendant of Mother Mary where the 3 strands meet. The Rosary is divided into 6 sections. The 1st section is composed of the introductory prayers, followed by what is called the 5 decades. First Section of the Rosary + The Sign of the Cross + The Apostles' Creed I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; On the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. +The Lord's Prayer (Our Father) 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 (x3) Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. (note: 1st Hail Mary is for Faith, 2nd is for Hope, 3rd is for Charity) + Glory Be Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Next, you will acknowledge the mystery and fruit of the 1st mystery (you will do this for each decade, on the Our Father bead). Note: All mysteries of the Rosary (based on the assigned day of the week) follow the same pattern. As a reminder, the mysteries are: Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, Glorious. See chart at the bottom for reference) First Decade Announcement of the 1st Mystery, and Our Father (per above) + Our Father + Hail Mary (say 10 times, once per bead, while meditating on the mystery) + Glory Be (once) + Optional: Say the “O My Jesus” prayer requested by Mary at Fatima Remaining Four Decades + Announce the Next Mystery; then say the “Our Father” and repeat the decade steps above, as you continue through the remaining Mysteries. Closing Prayers + Hail Holy Queen + Final Prayers (Here at RosaryMinded, we also like to say the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel and the Memorare as well).

Encourage us to penance when we fall, and reconcile us to God. Do not leave us, heavenly guides. Comfort us in adversity, humble us in success, defend us in danger, and assist us in temptations, lest at any time we fall beneath them. Offer up in the sight of the Divine Majesty our prayers and petitions… [mention them here] …and all our charitable works, and help us persevere in grace until we enter into everlasting life. Amen. Conclude with one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.

The Holy Face Chaplet in Latin! To pray this chaplet, start by making the sign of the cross with the crucifix. 1. On the Crucifix – The Sign of the Cross / Signum Crucis In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Deus, in adjutorium meum intende: Domine, ad adjuvandum me festina. O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. 2. On each of the six larger beads (precedes each decade of six beads) in order say in honor of the five senses of Jesus. First of the sense of Touch, then Hearing, then Sight, then Smell, and finally Taste: “O mi Jesu misericordia!” “Gloria Patri…” “My Jesus, mercy!” and one “Glory Be..” 3. On the thirty-three small beads: “Surge Domine et dissipentur inimici Tui et fugiant qui oderunt Te a Facie Tua.” “Arise, O Lord, and let Thy enemies be scattered, and let all who hate Thee flee before Thy Face!” At the end of meditating on the senses of Jesus, continue repetitions of “Arise, O Lord” prayer on the remaining three beads, to bring the total to 33, one for each year of Our Lord's earthly life. On each of these last three beads, think about the wounds in His holy face from the slaps He endured, and from the crown of thorns. After all of this, repeat seven times, in honor of the the Golden Arrow book): 1) May God arise and let His enemies be scattered and let those who hate Him flee before His Face! “Surge Domine et dissipentur inimici Tui et fugiant qui oderunt Te a Facie Tua.”. (Psalm 67:2) 2) May the thrice Holy Name of God overthrow all their plans! Nomen Trinum Sanctum Dei cogitationes eorum omnes depraedatur! 3) May the Holy Name of the Living God split them up by disagreements! Sanctissimum Nomen Dei viventis eas discidiis dividat! 4) May the terrible Name of the God of Eternity stamp out all their godlessness! Horrendum nomen Dei aeternitatis deleat omnem impietatem suam! 5) Lord, I do not desire the death of the sinner, but that he be converted and live. Domine, nolo mortem peccatoris, sed ut convertatur et vivat. “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” Pater, dimitte illis : non enim sciunt quid faciunt. (Luke 23:34) The “Golden Arrow” prayer (on the Crucifix): May the most Holy, most Sacred, most Adorable, Most Incomprehensible and Ineffable Name of God Be always Praised, Blessed, Loved, Adored and Glorified, In Heaven, on Earth and under the Earth, By all the Creatures of God, And by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ, In the most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen” "Sanctissimum, sacratissimum, adorabile, incomprehensibile et ineffabile Nomen Dei semper laudetur, benedicatur, ametur, adoretur et glorificetur in caelo, in terra et sub terra, ab omnibus creaturis Dei, et a Sacro Corde Domini nostri Iesu Christi in sanctissimo Sacramento Altaris. Amen."
