Welcome to our daily 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 we've promised to pray for.

Teresa Vavala, Doctor of the Church on the Spiritual Life was asked to write a book about the different stages of growing in spiritual perfection.

The result was her masterpiece, The Interior Castle. The the in dwelling Trinity deep inside your soul.

The New Testament repeatedly talks about the Christian soul as the dwelling place of the

Father's Son and Spirit. the dwelling place of the father,

and spirit, and so spiritual perfection

is like a journey into the soul looking

for the adorable Trinity.

So the path to God can be described as a path inward,

going from a life lived in externals outside the castle, outside the soul, to a life going through

different rooms or mansions trying to get to the heart of the castle to the center of the soul where Jesus lives.

The question is, how does one begin this journey?

How do you even find the castle?

And how do you make progress once you're inside.

Our Father who art in heaven,

Hollywood be your name, my kingdom come, I will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us to stay our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who

trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee,

blessed art thou among women.

Blessed is a fruit of thy womb Jesus.
