This is Holy Family School of Faith.

Welcome to our Rosary meditation.

I am blessed to be joined by Theresa the Great, Sarah, formerly Sherse

Morrison, my Habibi, my Yaa Ami, my Yah Amar, my Mejuni, my lovely wife Sandy.

Mason, Queen Elena, Cameron the Tsar, and Andrew.

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

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

I would especially like to offer this Rosary for a very close family friend, Don Coons,

who passed away for the repose of his soul and for his family and for my cousin

Kathy who will be having brain surgery today

Today we meditate on the way in which Mary is our teacher.

The goal of our life is to have Jesus living in us so completely that we can say with St Paul, it is not I who live but Christ who lives

within me.

It is not let me be clear that we are absorbed into Christ so that we no longer exist, but that there be a perfect union with

Christ so that his divine life penetrates, heals, transforms, elevates, and divinizes us.

Then why not just turn to Jesus and ask him to form his life, his way of thinking in us? Well we should do that, but the fact remains it is

the mission of the Holy Spirit to bring this transformation in Christ about. In John 16 Jesus said, I have yet many things to say to you but you cannot bear

them now. When the spirit of truth comes he will guide you into all truth. And as I have shared with you

before the Holy Spirit carries out this educative mission through Mary, for she is the sacrament of the Spirit.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallow it would be your name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us sustain our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass
