This is the movement of the Holy Family.

Welcome to our Rosary meditation.

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

It's called in mind to all those that we've promised to pray for.

We offer this especially for the repose of the soul of Linda Hopfinger for

her husband Steve and her family. And we also offer this Rosary for the healing of

Jemma Campbell. Now the past few days we've been meditating on three profound truths at the beginning of the

catechism. First, that all people were created to share in God's life as his adopted sons and daughters.

And second, just like we all thirst for water because we need water to live,

all people have a built-in desire for God

because we need this deep friendship with God

to reach the happiness we long for.

And third, that God takes the initiative in this relationship.

God became one of us in Jesus so that we might know who he is and that we might know his love.

This fact is captured in a powerful and beautiful expression at the last supper.

Immediately before Jesus willingly suffered and died and rose for us.

He looked into the eyes of the apostles and said,

A man can have no greater love

than to lay down his life for his friends.

You are my friends if you do what I command you.

A servant does not know his master's business.

I call you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have learned from my father.
