This is Holy Family School of Faith.

Welcome to our Rosary Meditation.

Today is the feast of the Holy Family.

Last night ended in pain and this morning began with pain.

I went to the Lord right after waking.

That is after I got a cup of coffee because God likes me more when I have coffee.

And I said, Lord, why this continued suffering?

And I turned to my close friend, St. Faustina, asking her the same question.

They both directed me to this passage from her diary.

Listen, although all the works that come into being by my will are exposed to great sufferings,

consider whether any of them has been subject to greater difficulties than that work,

which is directly mine, the work of redemption.

You should not worry too much about adversities.

The world is not as powerful as it seems to be.

Its strength is strictly limited.

Know that if your soul is filled with the fire of my pure love, then all difficulties

dissipate like fog before the sun's rays and dare not touch the soul.

All adversaries are afraid to start a quarrel with such a soul, because they sense that it is stronger than the whole world.

Then the Lord and Faustina gave me to know that if we are to complete this great work of building an army of souls who pray the rosary and offer sacrifices for the conversion of one another's loved ones, then this work requires suffering.

I got wrecked.

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

Amen.
