| 0:00.0 | This is the movement of the Holy Family, leading people to Jesus through friendship, good conversation and the rosary. |
| 0:19.2 | Welcome to our rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:22.5 | Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for, |
