| 0:00.0 | Welcome to our daily rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:04.4 | Amen. Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for. |
| 0:09.3 | I can never remember and I always seem to forget that even a good life is not enough to make you happy. |
| 0:18.7 | Yes, God designed us to have a desire for and seek after the good things of life like good health and |
| 0:25.4 | relationships achievements families at homes and beautiful experiences and |
| 0:31.1 | we're supposed to seek these and when we get them there should |
| 0:36.1 | be a corresponding joy and gratitude. Life is really good because God is really good |
| 0:42.2 | but really good, because God is really good. But what I always failed to remember and |
| 0:47.1 | should never forget is that no matter how good the good things of life are they can never be enough. We were made for union |
| 0:57.3 | with God and God alone satisfies. But so many of us think that if we're virtuous, if we're prudent, if we make good decisions, |
| 1:08.0 | then we can essentially be satisfied in this life. |
| 1:12.0 | We think we'll get to the point where we say, yes, this is what I want. I'm happy with this. I'm at peace now. And it's true. Virtue and right living do lead to a more peaceful contented life than the life of sin and vice and worldliness, which is just one long nightmare of addiction, panic, and resentment, but we have to remember |
| 1:37.0 | this life is not our true homeland. Heaven with God that's our true home. |
| 1:46.8 | When our lady came to Lords, the first time she revealed herself |
| 1:51.6 | to St. Bernadette. She gave some instructions and then kind of out |
| 1:55.8 | of the blue she suddenly said, I do not promise you happiness in this life, but only in the next. |
| 2:07.6 | Our father who art in heaven, hollow would be your name. |
| 2:10.1 | By kingdom come they will be done on earth as it is in heaven. |
| 2:13.0 | Give us to stay our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses. |
| 2:17.2 | As we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. |
| 2:24.0 | Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women. |
| 2:28.0 | Blessed is a fruit of thy womb Jesus. |
