Welcome to our daily 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.

Now hope is the desire for and actively striving for transforming union with Jesus and heaven.

But many of us, if we're really honest with ourselves would admit that we don't really want to go to heaven,

at least not yet.

Sure, we'd probably prefer heaven to the idea of hell or even annihilation, but we're certainly not

eager to get there right now.

That's why we're all so afraid to die and why we always try so desperately to delay death as long as possible, which is kind of strange for people who hope, who believe in, who long for heaven.

If we really long for union with Jesus, if that's the real goal of our life, then why would we want to delay

heaven as long as possible?

Have we lost our desire for heaven and what can we do to regain it?

Our Father who are in heaven, hallow would be your name,

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us to stay our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass

against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil

Amen. Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee blessed art thou among women

blessed is a fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God.

Pray for a sinner is known at the hour of her death, Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women.

Blessed is a fruit of thy womb Jesus

holy Mary mother of God brief for a sinner is now and at the hour of our death
