About Saints and Skeptics

In a culture of noise and distraction, this podcast aims to draw you back to the stillness of prayer. From the Rosary and Divine Office to forgotten devotions and sacred litanies, we work to recover the language of the soul. Join us as we open the treasury of Catholic prayer and allow it to transform our lives.

[Prayer Series] Daily Rosary: The Joyful Mysteries

Saints & Skeptics Prayer Series - The Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary - The Joyful Mysteries (Mondays & Saturdays) The rosary is a Marian prayer that depicts the biblical life of Jesus. The word "rosary" derives from the Latin word "rosarium", meaning a garden of roses. Tradition tells us that Our lady appeared to St. Dominic while he prayed in the forest. "My son", the Queen of Heaven said, "prayer and penance are the only way to win souls".  The Rosary is a deeply meditative Catholic prayer that reflects on key events in the life of Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary. These events are organized into four sets of "mysteries": the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Luminous Mysteries. Each set contains five individual mysteries (or events), making a total of 20. These mysteries are not just historical events but theological meditations meant to lead the faithful into a deeper relationship with Christ. The Joyful Mysteries reflect on the joyful events surrounding the Incarnation of Jesus.These mysteries show how God's plan unfolds through humble, obedient human cooperation, especially in Mary. They are prayed on Mondays, Saturdays, and Sundays during Advent.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
