0:00.0	Hey y'all, what's up? It's Father Josh Johnson and you are listening to Ask Father Josh.
0:08.5	On today's show, I wanted to do a special episode where I just invite you to pray with
0:13.5	me. You know, right now we and our country are experiencing a lot of racial tension and
0:19.2	typically whenever we go through these seasons where we are confronted with the evil of racism,
0:29.5	a lot of people during these seasons reach out to me as a priest and they ask me, Father Josh,
0:34.6	what can we do? And there are a number of things that we can do as disciples in the 21st century,
0:41.5	as Catholics, as Christians, as members of the Bite of Christ, a number of things that we can do
0:46.1	to collaborate, to work together, to foster racial reconciliation and authentic unity in the Bite of

1:39.1	that passage, and then apply that passage to the rosary. And every time I get to the name Jesus,
1:43.7	I then just go into like a spontaneous prayer of Lexiode. And so I just wanted to invite you to
1:49.5	join me in praying a rosary of reparation for our sins and for the sins of other brothers and
2:00.2	sisters in the body of Christ against people who come from a different ethnicity than us.
2:07.3	Sins, essentially, that have cultivated racial prejudice and racial discrimination and have
2:14.9	perpetuated institutional racist practices and policies in our nation. And so the best thing
