This is Holy Family School of Faith.

Welcome to our Rosary meditation.

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

Let's call the mind all those that we've promised to pray for.

I want to especially pray for little Eli Skok.

We've been praying for him for a number of days. I got a picture sent to me right before this of him smiling

Looks like he's doing so much better that is the great power of the Rosary. Maybe if they would give me

permission I would post a picture that they sent to me of Eli. It would warm your

heart to see how much better he's doing also I want to offer

this rosary for my good friend Steve Sharp who's recovering after surgery so

we're all praying for him. Also for Dan Burke, who is in ICU, we pray for Dan.

So I'm gonna pause.

Our first meditation and first decade, unfortunately many celebrations of First Communion this spring are postponed. However, this is a golden opportunity for you to prepare your kids and

grandkids to have an even greater desire for the Eucharist and to teach them how to pray because prayer opens the

soul to receive all the grace of the Eucharist. Having studied the apparitions of

Fatima to the three children, and remember,

Jissinta was only seven, Francisco, eight and Lucia was only nine, they were, she was only 9 years old, so 9, 8, and 7, when our lady appeared

to them.

I was moved by the way in which God prepared them for their first communion through the

apparition of the angel in 1916.

It consisted of three parts that I want to share with you in this meditation, and I think that

this will be a very helpful way for all of you parents and grandparents out there who have kids that are getting ready for first communion
