This is the movement of the Holy Family.

So welcome to our daily rosary meditation.

I am in Bethlehem.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

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

Let's call the mind all those we've promised to pray for. The great paradox of the human condition is that we've been created with a purpose,

a purpose that we cannot achieve, that by our own efforts we are doomed to a fundamental

frustration of our nature.

Why?

Because we are creatures, but we were made for union with God.

We are finite, but we were made for the infinite. We have cut ourselves off from

him by sin. We cast ourselves out of heaven and we are too small and too weak to climb back to him.

Or think of it another way.

Imagine a river that's infinitely wide and infinitely deep

and has an infinitely strong current. The point is there's no way for us to get

from our side to the side of God.

The problem is, we've been born on the wrong side of the river.

But every part of us wants to get to the other side. But there's no bridge. This is the fundamental

human dilemma. This is the problem we've all been born into.

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.

It is to this day on our day and breath,
