This is the movement of the Holy Family.

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.

We are in the Holy Land and we've just come from the Temple Mount.

One day, while Jesus was leaving the temple, his disciples pointed out to him the temple's beauty,

the elegance, the impressiveness of the structure, and the stones that had been used to decorate

it. It was a glorious temple, both in the days of Solomon and in the days of Herod.

It was a monumental sign of the Jewish identity, and apart from their religion and their sacred writings, it was the greatest cultural achievement the chosen people could boast.

But the Lord responds to their enthusiasm with a dire prediction. He says,

Do you see all these wonderful things? I tell you, the day is coming when not one stone

will be left on another. They will all be thrown down. Why does the Lord feel the need to

reign on their parade? Why does he have to

dampen their enthusiasm about their beautiful temple? Because even though the temple was a good

thing, it was going to be taken away, and the Jews needed to be ready to let go of it,

so that they could receive something much greater.

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 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 are thou among women

blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus holy Mary mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen.
