Mysteries of the Rosary | Paradisus Dei
2 Seasons
The Mysteries of the Rosary is a four-part film series hosted by Mark Hartfiel, Vice President of Paradisus Dei and current developer of That Man is You! men's program The series began out of Mark Hartfiel’s desire to deepen his spiritual life as a father and husband, which included taking steps to protect his family from evil. Saint Padre Pio said, “The Rosary is the ‘weapon’ for these times,” and Hartfiel took that to heart, ultimately becoming convicted to pray the ancient prayers of the Rosary daily. It was through his daily Rosary that the idea came to him to create and film a series that takes viewers right to the Holy Land, right where these Mysteries actually happened.
The first series, The Sorrowful Mysteries, was released in February 2023 during Lent. The Joyful Mysteries was the second to release in October 2023 in preparation for Advent.
