| 0:00.0 | Welcome to our daily rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:05.0 | Amen. Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for. |
| 0:10.0 | One of the questions St Thomas Aquinas asks is, |
| 0:14.0 | Why did God take so long to become incarnate and save us? |
| 0:19.0 | In other words, why didn't God become man immediately after Adam and Eve fell? |
| 0:26.8 | Why didn't he save us right away? |
| 0:29.7 | Why did he leave us to be lost in sin in so many different errors of paganism and |
| 0:38.0 | idolatry and moral weakness for so long? The answer, Aquinas gives, is that the human race had to know its own |
| 0:49.2 | powerlessness against sin before it would accept Christ as the only solution to the ultimate |
| 0:57.9 | problem of life. Otherwise we would ignore the Lord. I mean, why would we need his help if we thought we could save ourselves? |

| 1:36.0 | Only then will we abandon ourselves to him |
| 1:40.4 | in such a way that he can transform us. |
| 1:48.0 | Our father who art in heaven, |
| 1:50.0 | hallow would be your name, |
| 1:51.0 | thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. |
| 1:54.0 | Give us to stay our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass |
| 1:59.8 | against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil |
| 2:04.4 | Amen. Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou |
