This is the movement of the Holy Family.

Welcome to our daily Rosary meditation.

We have been meditating on the powers of the soul,

now the great power of the will, the power that chooses.

Yesterday we reflected on the most important thing we choose,

the supreme good union with God.

So let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son

and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

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

As I said, God is the supreme good, but is he the only thing we should pursue and choose?

St. Augustine famously wrote,

You have made us for yourself, O God,

and our hearts are restless until they rest in you. God has made us for himself and he is the

only good who will ultimately satisfy the will. Which is why if you don't pursue him eventually everything else will decay, will rot.

Every other food, every other form of physical or spiritual sustenance will, apart from God, eventually turn to ashes in our mouth.

But even though God is the only supreme good and the only indispensable good, he hasn't decreed that he is the only

good we should pursue at all.

In fact, he's put us in this world precisely so that we can pursue the good things

in life to become excellent humans and by this prepare to being perfectly fulfilled by himself.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallow would be your name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day 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
