This is the movement of the Holy Family.

Welcome to our daily Rosary Meditation.

Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Let's call to mind to all those we've promised to pray for.

Today we meditate on the fifth beatitude.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

To understand mercy, we must first grasp justice. Justice is to give to others

what we owe them. Mercy gives to others more than we owe them. Think of the parable of the

unforgiving servant. Remember, he was the guy who owed the

king an astronomical amount he could never pay back, but in his mercy the king forgave him. But then that

guy went out and wouldn't forgive his fellow servant a tiny amount.

And do you remember what the king said to the unforgiving servant?

You wicked servant, I cancelled all that debt of yours when you appealed to me.

Were you not bound then to have pity on your fellow servant as I had mercy on you? And in his anger the master handed him over to the tortures till he should pay all his debt. Then Jesus ends the

parable by stating, And that is how my Heavenly Father will deal with you, unless you each forgive your

brother from your heart. Our father who art in heaven, hallow would be your name. Thy kingdom come

thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us to stay our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive

those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women. Blessed is a fruit of

thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death, amen.
