| 0:00.0 | This is the movement of the Holy Family. |
| 0:03.0 | Welcome to our Roliary Meditation. |
| 0:05.0 | Let's speak in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:08.0 | Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for. |
| 0:11.0 | One of the most interesting features of the traditional teaching on the feelings or passions |
| 0:21.6 | is that the most fundamental feelings aren't even actual feelings, they're potential feelings. |
