A rosary today is entitled on beauty.

We've been looking at the Saints and the Saints are such beautiful examples of the witness of God, of God's own beauty and God's own love.

So I thought it'd be appropriate to give a Rosary on Beauty and here I have to credit my son

Nicholas who wrote today's Rosary on Beauty so Nicholas thank you. The six cello suites of Bach are often regarded as some of his most beautiful musical achievements.

These six melodies are composed for a single unaccompanied cello and grow in both

complexity and length as they progress. The final piece is strange because it requires the cellist to add a fifth string and a

cello ordinarily only has four. Isn't it strange that a composer attempting to harness the beauty of an instrument played by itself

would call for the instrument to go beyond its usual structure.

To achieve the heights of what a cello could do,

to stretch the instrument to its fullest capacity for beauty,

Bach chose to add another string. He wished to have the cello become more than what it is.

Bach's decision to add an extra string was as much of a statement of philosophy as it was of music.

A thing is that it's most beautiful when it goes beyond what it is. Is this not what God wants to do with us through

grace? Take us beyond what we were originally created to be, to make us truly beautiful.

Our Father who arts in heaven, hallowed be thy 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 a trespass against us and made us not in

Temptation but deliver us from you for man.

Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy wound Jesus.

Holy Mary, mother of God, afraid for us sinner is known at the hour of our death and night.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women,
