This is Holy Family School of Faith.

Welcome to our Rosary meditation.

Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Louis de Monfort.

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

Holy Spirit. Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for. I want

to especially pray for Olivia Caneli, seven years old, who is suffering from many seizures.

So all you daily Rosary prayer warriors, I want you to join me praying for the healing of

Olivia and in the midst of our 54-day Rosary Novna that my son-in-law Nick will be home the first week of

June for the birth of his son Kormack coming all the way from Japan.

That's my son-in-law Nick, not Kormak.

I feel that this is a very important time for all of us to surrender and trust, consecrate

our homes, our families, our businesses, everything in our lives to the Holy Family, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

Our first meditation at the age of 19, St. Louis de Monfort went to Paris to study theology.

He said goodbye to his family and friends at the bridge of Sassan on the outskirts of Renez.

The events take on deep symbolism.

Having left all, he crossed the Cessan bridge to a new life of total dependence upon divine

Providence, so convinced that God was his loving father that he gave to the first beggars he met, his money,

his luggage, and even exchanged clothes with one of them. Then turning he walked joyfully to Paris, begging for food

and shelter all along the way. He lived the rest of his life in just this way with a total trust that God would provide for

him each day.

Now I am not encouraging you to be totally irresponsible with the duties of your state and life.

But what I love about Monfort is that he really believed God was his father and that his father would provide his daily bread.
