Welcome to our daily rosary meditation.

Before we begin today's rosary, I want to tell you about something new we're doing together.

A series on what it really means to become real.

We come into the world small and unfinished, full of potential.

God didn't create us complete like the angels. He gave us the gift of time,

time to grow, to learn, to love, and to become who were meant to be. So this life is a training

ground, a partnership with God where every part of us, mind, body, heart and soul is being

shaped for eternity.

So every day is an invitation to cooperate with grace and to move from shadow to substance,

from potential to perfection. This series will help us to learn how to use our time well, to live in reality, and to become the people God created us to be, fully human and fully alive in him.

So as we pray the rosary today, let's ask our lady to teach us how to grow, how to love, how to become truly real in God.

So 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've promised to pray for.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His

only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.

He suffered under Punch's pilot, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell.

On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the

father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy

Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life

everlasting. Amen. 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.
