This is Holy Family School of Faith.

Welcome to our Rosary meditation.

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

Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

Yesterday we reflected on the fact that, as Bruce Springsteen puts it everybody's got a hungry heart.

We all have a powerful desire within us that we call arrows, that is a hunger or erotic desire for infinite truth, beauty and goodness, a hunger for

God. We have this hunger and desire because we have been designed by God

to be filled by nothing less than Him. The aching desire man experiences, says Pope Benedict, like a signature imprinted with fire in his soul and body by the Creator himself.

Faced with this desire, this arrows, we have only three options.

We can deny our desires and go on a starvation diet.

Or we can become an addict while we try to satisfy our hunger

on a fast food diet, or we can become an aspiring mystic that feasts on the banquet

of God through prayer.

Those are the options. Starvation diet, fast food and nothing more, or taste and

see how good God is.

Our Father who art in heaven,

Halla would be your name.

Thy kingdom con thy will be done on earth

as it is in heaven.

Give us to stay our daily brought in, forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us,

and lead us now to temptation but to deliver us from my own.
