This is the movement of the Holy Family.

Welcome to our daily rules room meditation.

We are in our third day of setting out in our journey of Advent,

immersing ourselves in the life of Jesus, but also preparing for our consecration to

marry on January 1st. 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.

St. John the Baptist is a very important character in Advent. He prepares the way for the Lord. And he's one of the

greatest Saints of all time. Perhaps no one gets greater praise from Jesus than he, when our Lord said,

of all men born of women, no one has arisen greater than John the Baptist.

Well, what was John's secret? How did he attain such heights of sanctity?

How could he become the representative of all the prophets,

all the good that God had done up to the coming of Christ.

And how can we imitate his virtue. 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 against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us

from evil, amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women.

Blessed is a fruit of thy womb Jesus.
