Welcome to our daily rosary meditation. 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. To live a decent rightly ordered life, people need to be able to distinguish what's important from

what isn't.

There's no algorithm for making the distinction between important and unimportant.

For instance, a job offer for one person could be a really huge deal and totally irrelevant

to someone else. But for everyone, there has to be both the

important and the unimportant. Certain things we can take lightly, not worry about, even laugh and joke about.

Other things simply have to matter, and the thing that matters most is God, which is why it's a sin to take holy things lightly.

It's a sin and a violation of the Second Commandment to take God's name in vain.

Our Father who art in heaven,

hallow it 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, breathe for a sinners now and at the hour of our 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.
