🏞️ Set at the Blue Army Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima, this episode explores:

✨ The theological richness of Mary's “yes”

✨ The powerful meditation from St. Bernard of Clairvaux

✨ The Shrine's replica of the Holy House of Loreto – housing a relic of Our Lady’s original home

✨ Why the Annunciation is spiritually foundational — the moment of the Incarnation

✨ Plans to bring the first mystery to life outdoors in the Rosary Garden

💬 Reflect with us on how this mystery invites each of us to say “yes” to God — again and again.
