This is Holy Family School of Faith.

Welcome to our movement of the Holy Family and our Rosary meditation.

I am still blessed to be in Carroll, Iowa at Domus Trinitatitis.

This amazing retreat center here at Carol.

Again, I really invite you to go to the website

Home of the Trinity.com

and you should really consider coming up here for a retreat.

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

Amen.

And let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for. I want to especially ask everyone to pray for one of the sisters here, Sister Anne. And also, we also pray for Sean, Katie, Donna,

and Sherry. Now let's call to mind all those that we've promised to pray for.

In our preparation for our consecration or renewal of consecration in

Mary on December 8th, today we reflect on the deadly sin of gluttony. Gluttony refers to eating,

to alcohol and drug use for the sake of pleasure or to escape the reality we find either too hard,

too painful, or too boring.

But let's take first gluttony as overindulgence in food.

It is possible to sin by eating too much,

either because it's unhealthy or because someone else is entitled to the food or by alleviating

or trying to alleviate stress, anxiety, fear, or loneliness through food.

But you might be surprised at this.

We can also be gluttonous by being too picky

or too attached to a certain kind of food or even too health-minded or controlled by food.
