“I hope people fall in love,” Fr Mark-Mary Ames, a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal, host of The Rosary in a Year podcast, said during a virtual press conference on Monday.
“I hope our listeners and those who make this journey with us … fall in love with the Rosary because they experience it as … a privileged door for encounter with Our Lord and Our Lady.”
The free podcast by Ascension, a Catholic multimedia network, begins January 1, 2025, and continues through the year with a new episode daily.
Listeners can tune in on platforms including the Ascension App, Spotify and Apple Podcasts, for the episodes that run 10 to 15 minutes long.
Each episode will feature guidance and instruction, a prayer prompt and prayers of the Rosary.
Fr Mark-Mary, director of communications and priestly studies for the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, said he hopes the podcast meets people where they are, from those who pray the Rosary regularly to those who are beginners.
“I believe that our journey for The Rosary in a Year is going to be learning how to – and actually being accompanied in – praying with the truths of our faith,” he said.
Listeners can follow along with the podcast by signing up online for a free prayer plan at Ascension’s website, ascensionpress.com.
The podcast is the fourth of Ascension’s popular In a Year podcasts, following The Bible in a Year, its sister podcast in Spanish, La Biblia en un Año, and The Catechism in a Year.
