This is the movement of the Holy Family.

Welcome to our daily Rosary meditation.

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

Amen.

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

Today is the Feast of St John, the apostle. In the

gospel he wrote he refers to himself as the disciple whom Jesus loved. By this he wants us as disciples of Jesus to see ourselves

in his place, for we are all the disciples whom Jesus loves. But my favorite scene from his life is from Calvary.

When Jesus looks down from the cross and seen Mary his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing

near Jesus said to his mother woman this is your son.

And then to John,

This is your mother.

Before the world began, God said,

Let there be light, and the universe sprang into existence.

At the last supper, God said,

This is my body and mere bread became God in the Eucharist.

And from the cross God said this is your mother and from that moment

Mary became not only the mother of John the Apostle, but the spiritual mother of every

person in the world. The question for us is, do we really live as if Mary is our mother, and do we depend upon her as a little

child in her care. Our father who art in heaven, hallow would be your name.

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

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