| 0:00.0 | This is Holy Family School of Faith. |
| 0:08.0 | So let's call to mind those for whom we said we would pray in all the intentions that you all sent to me tonight. |
| 0:14.0 | We know that we're praying for Jeannie Sherman. We're praying for Olivia Conelli. We'll pray for Patrick Ryan and for his surgery in six months. |
| 0:21.7 | I know there was someone who texted me whose father is in Boston and I think he had surgery today. My brain is doing |
| 0:27.3 | a brain lock so I can't remember his name. Nick, I'm going to let you hold this so if it comes up, |

| 1:37.7 | In this reflection, we will examine the petition, lead us not into temptation. The catechism states, |

| 1:49.0 | We ask him not to allow us to take the way that leads to sin. |
| 1:55.0 | We are engaged in the battle between the flesh and the spirit. |
| 2:00.0 | This petition implores the spirit of discernment and strength. |
| 2:05.8 | That's from 2846 in the catechism. |
