| 0:00.0 | This is the movement of the Holy Family. Welcome to our rosary meditation. I am blessed to be on |
| 0:07.5 | vacation in Colorado thanks to a very generous couple. And tonight Sandy, my wife and I got to watch |
| 0:17.7 | the sunset over a beautiful mountain lake. |
| 0:21.8 | Now we're praying the rosary together. |
