Welcome to Daily Rosary Meditations with Dr. Mike Schurselik, where you learn how to meditate and establish a daily habit of prayer while discovering the truths of the Catholic faith. Is there someone you know that could benefit from daily prayer?

Share this meditation with them. 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. We've been reflecting on the fact that the

distinguishing marks of the church is that it's one holy Catholic and apostolic today the church's holiness

When the Lord called the Israelites out of Egypt it was to make them a holy people. The word holy actually means set apart for

God. It means something whose purpose is to give glory to God. And when Christ established the church, it was in order to make a

community of holiness. St. Paul says Christ loved the church and sacrificed himself for her to

make her holy. So we exist to be holy to share in the life and attributes of God through union with Jesus.

But where does this holiness come from? How does the church receive her power to make

her members holy?

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.

Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, noun at the hour of our death,

Amen.

Hey O Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women.

Blessed is a fruit of thy womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, mother of God.

Pray for us sinners, now at the hour of our death
