| 0:00.0 | This is the movement of the Holy Family. |
| 0:03.4 | Welcome to our daily rosary meditation. |
| 0:05.3 | Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:08.5 | Amen. |
| 0:09.0 | Let's call to mind all those that we've promised to pray for. |
| 0:14.5 | Pride is essentially competition. |

| 1:31.4 | disordered way, but envy is sadness because something good has happened. That's why envy is so |
| 1:38.8 | diabolical. In fact, the Bible tells us that it was through the devil's envy that sin entered the world and that envy |
