| 0:00.0 | Welcome to our daily rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:04.4 | Amen. Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for. In the book of Daniel, several of Daniel's enemies |
| 0:12.3 | invent a law just for the sake of getting Daniel thrown in the |
| 0:17.0 | lion's den. They say that anyone who prays to anyone other than the king |
| 0:21.9 | will be thrown into the den of hungry lions. |
| 0:25.8 | Now Daniel knows about this law, but he continues to pray to the Lord anyway as he always does and as might have been expected he gets |

| 1:26.7 | trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, |
| 1:31.6 | Amen. Hey O Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, |
| 1:35.0 | Blessed art thou among women. |
| 1:36.0 | Blessed is a fruit of thy womb Jesus. |
| 1:39.0 | Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us in her is now and the hour of our death, Amen. |
| 1:44.0 | Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women. |
