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.

Because the church teaches that some actions are intrinsically evil, it has, so to speak, a list of things

that you can never do.

For example, you can never blaspheme or try to kill an innocent person or engage in sexual activity with someone

to whom you're not married. So it's true. The church does have moral rules that you always have to follow every day of your life at every minute in every situation.

And to a lot of people, that idea is hideously restrictive.

They hate the idea of being burdened by all these rules.

They would like, just just once to cut loose and do whatever they want

without having to think about the rules or the consequences and they feel so

stifled by the rules by these commandments that just never let up.

So are they right?

Are the Church's universal moral precepts, the ones that apply all the time and in every situation, are they

actually restrictive?

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 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, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death,

Amen.

The old Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with the blessed art thou among women, blessed Amen. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee,

Blessed art thou among women.
