Welcome to our daily Rosary meditation.

0:05.0

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

0:08.0

Amen.

0:09.0

That's called a mind all those that we've promised to pray for.

0:17.0

We're learning about and meditating on the last things. Death, judgment, hell, heaven, the end of the world, the new heavens and the new earth, and today, purgatory.

0:30.0

Have you ever thought to yourself, well as long as I get into purgatory, that's good enough for me.
