Welcome to our daily Rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen. It's called to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

This morning as I sat down for meditation, the Lord said to me,

Good morning, Michael. Nice to see you.

Why are you so sad?

And then I complained to the Lord about a number of things I was working on, all of which were way more difficult than I expected them to be. Then he asked, what do you want?

And I blurted out, I want to guarantee that everything will turn out well and I'll always be provided for.

To which he immediately responded, well, how have I done so far?

It seems to me for 55 years I've given you life, amazing adoptive parents, good health,

and education and opportunity. You've always had more than enough to live on

haven't you? You've always had a roof over your head and a car. Hmm and Michael it seems to me that I've even provided very generous people who

made it possible for you to go on vacations. And then the Lord went on to remind me of all

the extravagant ways he's provided for me for many minutes. Then he asked me, so Michael, why are you afraid I will suddenly

stop? And I said to him honestly, Lord, maybe I fear you take care of me because you think I'm a good man. And I'm afraid one day you'll realize I'm a fraud and the gig will be up and that I don't deserve your care and you'll cut me off.

I realized then that I doubt God because I feel like an imposter. Our father who art in heaven, hollow 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.

Hey O 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 at the hour of our death,

Amen.
