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.

There is no part of our Catholic faith that should be more bizarre to outsiders that our belief in

the Eucharist. There we say, that little white disc that's the creator of the universe.

Okay, says the non-Catholic, not sure what to make of that.

And we keep going. Look we say in that chalice that's the blood of God and the

non-Catholic says but it looks and smells just like wine. In fact I think I saw somebody fill that

with wine right before mass. I know we say it was wine but now it's God's blood.

How is that not crazy?

How does that not totally vindicate the people who say that Christianity and Catholicism in particular is completely irrational? rational.

Our Father who art in heaven, hollow 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 are thou among women.

Blessed is a fruit of thy womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for a sinner is known at the hour of our death, 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 a sinner, is now and at the hour of our death,

Amen.
