Welcome to daily Rosary meditations with Dr. Mike Schurselik, where you learn how to meditate and establish a daily habit of prayer while discovering the truths of the Catholic faith. Is there someone you know that could benefit from daily prayer?

Share this meditation with them. them. Welcome to our daily rosary meditation.

Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Give us to stay our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not

Hail Mary, full of grace the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women, blessed is a fruit of thy womb Jesus.
