| 0:00.0 | Welcome to our daily rosary meditation. We, the School of Faith, are hosting a living nativity |
| 0:07.5 | this December 12th through the 15th with Mary and Joseph and a baby Jesus and live animals and |
| 0:17.9 | hot chocolate. This is going to be a great Advent event. Bring your kids, bring your |
| 0:26.1 | grandkids. You can find all the details at schoolofaith.com. Now also, I was always struck when |
| 0:36.4 | St. Bernadette said the only thing she feared was bad Catholics. |

| 1:49.0 | On December 2nd, 1577, a group of Carmelite monks kidnapped John |
| 1:56.0 | and took him to Toledo, Spain, tortured and imprisoned him in a 10 by 6 cell with very little light, |

| 2:15.1 | the immense blessings of God can only enter and fit into an empty and solitary |
| 2:23.5 | heart. |
| 2:26.1 | We must be emptied to be filled by God. |
