| 0:00.0 | This is the movement of the Holy Family, leading people to Jesus through friendship, good conversation and the Rosary. |
| 0:20.0 | Welcome to our Rosary meditation. Today we are meditating on the deadly sin of lust. |
| 0:23.2 | So just a heads up, we will be speaking about marital intimacy in case there are young ears. |
| 0:30.2 | So listener discretion advised. |
| 0:34.0 | Now let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:38.0 | Amen. Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for especially for Terry Punzwick and for |
| 0:45.8 | Olivia Canili. First John chapter 4 tells us God is love, which means this. |
| 0:55.0 | God the Father gave of himself so totally and completely that this gift begets the son. Since the father holds nothing back in his giving, |
| 1:06.0 | the son becomes all that the father is. |

| 1:58.3 | So if marriage and sexual love are to be what God intended, they too must be a free and total gift of self to form a permanent |
| 2:08.1 | indesiable union and a union that is ordered to the new life of children. |
| 2:14.0 | It doesn't have to result in children every time, |
| 2:17.0 | but it must be ordered to the new life of children. |
| 2:21.0 | Sexual love is meant to be a total permanent and faithful gift of self that is ordered to new life. |
| 2:28.0 | The deadly sin of lust by contrast reduces that to a selfish taking instead of a generous giving. |
| 2:41.5 | Our Father who art in heaven, |
