This is the movement of the Holy Family, meeting people to Jesus through friendship, good conversation and the Rosary. The Rosary.

Welcome to our Rosary meditation.

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

It's called to mind all those we've

promised to pray for, especially for my daughter Sarah, who is taking the bar exam today and

tomorrow and Ali Anglia. today and

Ali Englander who is also taking the bar. So we pray for their success.

I want to share a story with you that I've never shared before.

Actually, Teresa said I've been holding out on her.

I want to share with you the story of Petrus Pavlicek.

He was born in Innsbruck, Austria in 1992.

As a young boy, he felt called to the religious life but grew indifferent in his teenage

years and then left the church when he was 19. After his compulsory military service, he studied in the Academy of Fine Arts and then lived as a vagabond artist in Paris and London.

In 1932, he was married in a civil ceremony, but the marriage lasted only three

months. The hand of divine Providence, though, is always surprising.

For in 1935 he was struck with a life-threatening illness

which resulted in his deep conversion.
