This is the movement of the Holy Family.

Welcome to our Rosedary meditation.

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

Amen.

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

Now today we meditate on the last beatitude.

Blessed or rather happy are those who suffer for the sake of righteousness?

Well how could suffering make us happy?

Here are two good reasons.

First, suffering can be good for us because it can empty us of our pride, our

self-reliance, and our disordered loves, making room in our soul to be filled by God.

And suffering can increase our faith, hope, and love, which gives us a greater capacity to receive even more of God.

Secondly, our suffering can help others.

In fact, Jesus is inviting us to help him save souls by our

suffering. All we need to do is accept and to offer them up.

To accept and offer up what you did not choose, do not like, cannot change.

Don't waste your suffering.

Souls are depending on you.

Our Father who art in heaven, Hollow would be your name.

By kingdom come, by will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us a day 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.
