When we pray the Sorrowful Mysteries, Mary teaches us how to stay close to Jesus as He carries the Cross. Though abandoned by His disciples, Jesus endured unimaginable pain because His love was stronger than suffering—a love He longed to share with us. Mary’s witness reminds us to make our homes and hearts places where that love is welcomed and lived out. In times of struggle or uncertainty, we can turn to her, confident that she will lead us closer to Jesus.

In the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary, we reflect on the life of Jesus through the eyes of Mary, who loved and trusted God completely from the very start. Mary's unique relationship with God meant she knew Him as Father who loved His children so extravagantly that He received them with joy each time they turned away from their sins. We can trust God the same way Mary did because He always keeps His promises. Join us in praying the Family Rosary Novena with Venerable Patrick Peyton, asking God for a miracle for your family.

Shelly Henley Kelly recaps her own experience of using the new book, The Family That Prays Together Stays Together, to pray the Rosary. The first time I learned about Father Patrick Peyton was during the middle of the pandemic. Although I didn’t know much about him, I’d heard his catchy message before: “The Family That Prays Together Stays Together.” His life in devotion to Mary and the Rosary are represented in a new book, The Family that Prays Together Stays Together: A Bead-by-Bead Family Guide through the Mysteries, by Father Willy Raymond, C.S.C. The invitation is simple: develop a deeper devotion to the Blessed Mother and daily prayer through the Rosary. The twist? Recognizing that habits need to be small, yet consistent, we’re invited to pray and meditate on just one mystery per day. How can you say no to that?
