This is the movement of the Holy Family.

So welcome to our Rosary in meditation.

I am at the birthplace of Mary in Jerusalem.

Most people think of Mary in Nazareth, but she was born in Jerusalem, spent the first few years in Jerusalem, and actually every year on November 21st we celebrate

her dedication to the temple where she was educated and formed before at some point she moved to Nazareth.

So here we are at this amazing place where the mother of God and our spiritual mother was born.

So 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, especially for the healing of

Little Olivia and Margrel through the intercession of Blessed Pauline Jericho, and I have the great privilege of praying with my brother Jack here today.

Now wouldn't it be a shame if we were able to know what a perfect man was like, but we never

had the chance to see a perfect woman?

If God had been able to design a flawless example of male humanity, but not a female humanity.

Of course, that's the position, the imbalance of just about every other Christian denomination. They present us with a

perfect man, Jesus, but not a perfect woman. But we know that's actually not the

case, that there is one instance of both perfect

masculinity and a perfect femininity. We know that when God's perfect love for us took human form, it took the form of a man, Jesus Christ.

But we also know that when our perfect response of love for God took human form,

it took the form of a woman, and it took the form of a woman in this house where Mary was born.

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

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

Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us
