family prayer | Through the Mysteries Podcast | Rosary Stories
In this episode of Family Rosary's new podcast, hosts Father David Marcham, Stephen Driscoll, and Allison Gingras continue reflecting on how the Mysteries of the Rosary can be experienced in the ordinary of each day! Father Marcham then unpacks the scriptural origins of the Hail Mary, where the Church has added its petition, and why.
Followed by a fascinating discussion on why the Blessed Virgin Mary is called ‘full of grace’ and what that truly means for each of us. The trio also dives deeper into the meaning of grace, the undeserved yet freely given gift of God's Holy Spirit, and why that is so important to our lives.
Their discussion then turns to Mary being more than just a fragile porcelain statue. She is alive in Heaven, a powerful advocate for us, and a model of strength and humility. Wrapping the episode, as they always do, with a Rosary Story, this one is from Maria Gallagher, a long-time Catholic Mom contributor.
