April 12, 2026·33 min·3 clips

Join the Glorious Mysteries for April 12th, Sunday of Divine Mercy, starting with the Apostles' Creed.

April 12th is named right away. The leader welcomes the listener to the Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary for Sunday of Divine Mercy and begins with the Sign of the Cross. The Apostles' Creed follows in full, naming the Father Almighty, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, forgiveness, resurrection, and life everlasting. The repeated line about Christ judging the living and the dead gives the creed a firm, solemn feel. The Our Father then sets the pace. Its older wording, hallowed, thy, trespasses, and temptation, keeps the prayer in a Catholic devotional voice. Pentecost is the central mystery heard here. The third glorious mystery is announced as the descent of the Holy Spirit, with wisdom and love of God named as its fruit. The decade is offered directly. The petition asks for holy wisdom through the mystery and through Mary's intercession, so that truth may be known, loved, practiced, and shared. The Hail Marys come one after another, returning each time to grace, blessing, the fruit of Mary's womb, and prayer for sinners at the hour of death. There is no teaching segment or commentary. The episode moves through fixed prayer, repeated address, and the ordered shape of the decade. The closing prayers turn toward protection. A prayer asks that those under a charge may be edified by word and example and attain life everlasting through Christ. Saint Michael is invoked with force. The guardian angel prayer asks for light, guarding, rule, and guidance before the Rosary closes again in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
