| 0:00.0 | This is the movement of the Holy Family. |
| 0:03.0 | Welcome to our daily Rosary meditation. |
| 0:05.0 | Let's begin to the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:08.0 | Amen. |
| 0:09.0 | Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for. |
| 0:18.7 | So we've been meditating on the creation of the visible world, the creation of the human person and today we meditate on the gift of work. |

| 1:34.0 | Our father who art in heaven, hallow would be your name, |
| 1:37.0 | Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. |
