This is Holy Family School of Faith.

Welcome to our Rosary meditation.

A dad sent me a text tonight saying,

I never imagined our six-year-old would kneel by my side as we

prayed the Rosary. This was one of the greatest gifts I've received as a father.

If I hadn't tried it, I wouldn't have experienced it and neither would he.

Blessed Pope Pius the ninth said,

Give me an army saying the rosary and I will conquer the world.

I say, give me an army of fathers and grandfathers who are willing to get down on their knees

in front of their families and invite them to pray the

Rosary this Christmas season and we'll conquer Kansas City and from there the world.

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

And let's call to mind all those who've promised to pray for,

especially joining our Rosaries to the thousands of others

praying for the 10,000 names that have been submitted

for their deeper conversion

and for all of their earthly needs.

It is likely you are overwhelmed by the desire to make everything perfect for Christmas.

Or you live with a person like this, or you'll be interacting with someone like this.

Now you may admit being in the first category, but more likely to think it's everyone else who has this problem.

But the reality is, we all suffer from the disordered desire for control.

The big book of AA describes it all too well.
