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.

The last of the Ten Commandments forbids coveting your neighbor's goods.

In other words, the Last of the Great Commandments forbids Envy,

where you wish you had something instead of your neighbor.

Envy is the vice that sees life as a zero-sum game.

Any win for your neighbor is a loss for you.

Now in the New Testament, Jesus gives us the positive side of this commandment.

Instead of condemning envy, he says, love your neighbor as yourself.

In other words, instead of treating your neighbor's win as a loss for you, treat your neighbor's win as a win for you too.

But the way Jesus frames this general commandment,

Love your neighbor as yourself,

prompts us to ask,

how do we love ourselves?

Because reflecting on how we love ourselves

will presumably give us some insight on how the Lord wants us to love other people.

Our Father who art in heaven, hollow would be your name, thy kingdom calm 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 a man.

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 in her

is now and at the hour of our death, amen. Hail Mary, full of grace the Lord is with thee.
