This is the movement of the Holy Family.

Welcome to our Rosary meditation.

I want to invite everyone to come out next week on one night, December 9th, 10th, 12th, and you can come at 530, 630 or 730 to our living nativity.

We're going to have real people and real animals. So bring your kids, bring your

grandkids, bring your friends, bring your teams, and we're going to pray the

joyful mystery mysteries of the Rosary, meditating on this scene from Bethlehem.

So again, 530, 630, 730, on December 9th, 10th, 11th.

And again, where do we go?

You gotta follow the star.

So let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

I'm blessed this evening to be gathered with Archbishop and a number of great friends. So let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

We continue to pray for the healing of little Olivia and Damien for all those on our heart.

Now today, December 3rd is the feast of St. Francis Xavier,

one of the greatest missionaries in the history of St. Francis Xavier, one of the greatest missionaries in the history of Christianity.

But Francis Xavier would not have become a missionary or a saint without his friends, beginning with the Ignatius of Loyola.

So Francis was born in the Castle Xavier in Spain in 1506 and he went to college in Paris and it was there that he met Ignatius.

Ignatius was a former military officer who was wounded in battle and converted as he recovered.

Ignatius took the initiative to develop a deep friendship with Francis Xavier, Peter Faber, Diego Leonese, Alonso Salmaran, Nicholas Bobodelia, and Simon Rodriguez.

And these seven friends shared life together.

And they often met in one another's homes to share a meal and to talk about their dreams,

but also to enjoy leisure and laughter and prayer.
