This is Holy Family School of Faith.

Welcome to our Rosary 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 that we've promised to pray for.

Our meditation comes from the Gospel of the Mass today.

Matthew chapter 20. of the mass today.

Matthew chapter 20.

Jesus was going up to Jerusalem and on the way he took the 12 to one side and said to them,

now we are going up to Jerusalem,

and the son of man is about to be handed over to the chief priests and scribes.

They will condemn him to death, and will hand him over to the pagans to be mocked and

scourged and crucified, and on the third day he will rise again.

Then the mother of James and John came with her sons to make a request of

him and bowed low and he said to her, what is it you want? She said to him,

promise that these two sons of mine may sit one at your right hand and the other at your left in your kingdom.

You do not know what you are asking, Jesus answered. Can you

drink the cup that I am going to drink? They replied, we can. We can.

Very well he said.

You shall drink my cup.

But as for the seats at my right hand and my left,

these are not mine to grant. They belong to those to whom they have been allotted by my father.
