Welcome to our daily rosary meditation. 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.

Now the 9th commandment

but more generally it's a commandment against lusting in general. It's a call to change the way we look at others

and particularly how men look at women because there is a sinful way to see things

which is why our Lord says anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has committed adultery in his heart. Now what makes the look of

lust sinful is that it's reductive. Reductionism is when you treat something as less than it really is.

It's when you see only one aspect of reality and usually the most superficial or the most selfish aspect.

And whenever you deliberately close your eyes to the fullness of what God has made,

whenever you fail to appreciate the full beauty and goodness of something,

especially a fellow human being, you're falling into the evil of reductionism.

And then you're just one step away from lust.

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, 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.

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.

Brave for a sinner is now and at the hour of our death,

Amen.
