| 0:00.8 | Welcome to our daily rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:05.2 | Amen. |
| 0:05.8 | Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for. |
| 0:09.8 | This time of year, especially with the feasts of all saints and all souls, is a good time to think about what the church calls the last things. Death, our particular |
