| 0:16.2 | Is there someone you know that could benefit from daily prayer? |
| 0:19.2 | Share this meditation with them. |
| 0:25.9 | Thank you. Someone you know that could benefit from daily prayer, share this meditation with them. Welcome to our rosary meditation. |
| 0:28.7 | For today is also the feast of St. James the Less and St. Philip. |
| 0:34.8 | So let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. |
